Not all that long ago I remember going out and about in KC only to see roughly every other person wearing some type of Royal's attire. Bars, buses, ballrooms and baseball games it was a cinch you'd hear "Let's Go Royals, clap-clap, clap clap clap."
I remember how cool it was seeing the rejuvenation of young'ns to baseball... Then I remembered thinking " they're gonna take this for granted thinking 'It's gonna be like this every year' ".... Uh oh...
Fast forward to Scott Pioli and Romeo Crennell.... woe is me, we've hit bottom (and we've had some bottoms what with going from 1974 to 1988 with one, count it, one winning season. Enter Marty, then Dick.. and BOOM, in 2017 trading up seventeen spots (27 to 10) to draft one Patrick Mahomes.
Now, we go out and about in KC and see roughly every other person in Chief's get-up. Great Clips can hardly keep up with all the kid requsts for 'a Mahomes do'. Bars, buses ballrooms and ballgames it's a cinch the arms will start chopping and in unison the Chief's chant, however you spell it, will breakout.
Yawn, ho hum, it's gonna be like this every year.
Fred G Sanford might retort "Dummy! You wanna hear some names that ain't never won in the Super Bowl?" Sure Fred, enlighten me."Dan Marino, Gale Sayers, Terrell Owens, JJ Watt, Dick Butkus, Earl Campbell, TONY GONALEZ... " OK, OK, OK, I get it!
Red, er, Fred, never one to hold back a word, added "Only 3% of the players in the NFL get to play in the Super Bowl, an did you know Arizona, Atlanta, Buffalo, Carolina, CINCINNATI, Cleveland, Detroit, Houton Texans, Jacksonville, LA Chargers, Minnesots and Tennesse have NEVER won a Super Bowl, so don't give me that ho hum stuff."
OK, I'm excited again.
8 days.
#8 for the Chiefs is Carlos Dunlap. He was originally drafted in 2010 and this is his first Super Bowl.
$8 would buy you a cheapie ticket to the first Super Bowl.
Nick the Kick wore #8. So did Morten Anderson and Matt Moore, remember him?
8 days, can't wait.
"You're all 8 up, dummy."
Love, Victurd
