Seven anxious days makes one week.

7 days until the Super Bowl. At 5:30pm Central this coming Sunday, hopefully we will have won the toss and our present day #7, Harrison Butkicker will drill the ball well over the head of the return man and out of the end zone.

Victor, I wonder who else has worn #7 as a Chief?

I thought you'd never ask, thanks: Zenon (Mr. Sajak I'd like to buy a vowel) Andrusyshyn, Matt Cassel, and John Huarte, to name a few..

Lucky 7's in the draft? Fer sure in fact we had three 7-round pics that are playing extensively this year, Isiah Pacheco, Jaylen Watson and Nazeeh Johnson.

Anything else insteresting about #7 and the Chiefs?'... Well, in their 7th year as the Kansas City Chiefs they had a pretty good year. It was 1969. They finished the regular season 11-3, Lenny got hurt, Mike Livingston stepped to play in SEVEN games - winning the six he started. Post season they traveled to NY to defeat Mr. Namath and the defending Super Bowl Champs 13-6, thanks in large part to a 4th quarter TD pss to SEVENTH round draft pick, Gloster Richardson.

Traveling again, they exacted revenge on Oakland (the Raiders beat them twice in the regular season), winning 17 to SEVEN. On to Super Bowl baby! Surely they lost, the Vikings were favored by 13. Nope. KC wins 23 to SEVEN! Wow, three postseason games, allowing a total of 20 points! Many years later ESPN calls this team the SEVENTH best defense ever!

I'm liking this 7 stuff. Me too! Any more?

Well, let's checkout the top SEVEN all-time leaders.  

Passing: Lenny leads with 28,507 yards in 183 games. It won't be long until Patrick catches him as he's already passed for 24,241 yards in only 80 games! Then, it's Trent, Alex, Bill Kenney, Steve (remember my crooked pinkie!) DeBerg, and Livingston.

Rushing: Jamaal, Priest, Larry, Christian, Ed, Abner and Marcus.

Receiving: Tony, Travis, Otis, Dwayne, Tyreek, Henry and Carlos.

Scoring; Nick, Jan, Harrison, Ryan, Priest, Tony and Travis.

Stats are boring Victor. Agreed.

Howabout, SEVEN decades with the Chiefs, Lenny/Player/Broadcaster and 94 year young George Toma, already in Phoenix working on his 57th Super Bowl!

OK, I've read enough SEVENS, I'm outta here. NO!! WAIT!!

Halftime performers the first SEVEN years:

1967; The Three Stooges! Nuh uh! Uh huh! Did! U of Arizona and Grambling State bands.

1968: Grambling State Band

1969: Florida A&M and Miami area HS Bands

1970: Doc Severinsen, Al Hirt, Lionel Hampton and Southern U Band

1971: Southern Misssouri State Band

1972: Ella Fitzgerald, Carol Channing, Al Hirt and USMC Drill Team

1973: U of Michigan Band, Woody Herman and Andy Williams

The times, they are'a changin...

Last SEVEN, I promise!

One of the below SEVEN is an imposter and has never performed at halftime - the others have:

Blues Brothers (Akroyd, Goodman, Belushi); Eagles; George Burns; New Kids on the Block, Rolling Stones; Temptations; ZZ Top

Chiefs fly to Phoenix today, no trash talk, respect, both teams.

Love, Grumpy and the rest of the SEVEN
