re(3)peat after me...

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took

Well, not true. History at least. I couldn't tell Napoleon and Sonny Bono apart but I (many of us in our small town) grew up, and KNOW,  The Kansas City Chiefs. Memories, oh the memories.

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me, too
What a wonderful world this would be (if we'd win.)

Actually, it's been wonderful, will be, no matter the outcome. From the first blade of grass that came from GeorgeToma, the first roll of athletic tape from Wayne Rudy, to the air horn Henry Stram blew as the players matriculated down the hill from Brown Gym.

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for

Well, not necessarily all that, but, the Chief's know and abide by the rules. Anyone who feels otherwise.. well... whatever.

But I do know one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be

And, one and one and one is three, in a row.

Now, I don't claim to be an A student
But I'm trying to be
For maybe by being an A student, baby
I can win your love for me

Well, you know. Sorry about the 'I' (akin to 'D') on my 6th grade math test Mrs. McCarty, but did you see the back page where I had the names of EVERY Chief (spelled correctly) along with their specific # (the correct ones.) Holub/55 + Dawson/16 + Stenerud/3 = 74. Ain't that (good) math?

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took

True Dat, but I can tell you we had a great lineman whose first language was French, AND, the NFL's first ever to get a medical degree. Laurent Duvernay-Tardif. He knew offsides, holding and science, biology.


But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me, too
What a wonderful world this would be

Before we finally won the affinity of the zebras, we suffered through 22 (count em, TWENTY-TWO) sub .500 seasons.

That's certainly not the only losses we've absorbed:  Stone Johnson, Mack Lee Hill, Jim Tyrer, Joe Delaney, Derrick Thomas, Javon Belcher, to name a few (too many).

La ta ta ta ta ta ta (History)
Hmm-mm-mm (Biology)
La ta ta ta ta ta ta (Science book)
Hmm-mm-mm (French I took)

Red Coaters, Huddle Club, Ring of Fame, Chiefettes, Cheerleaders, Warpaint, BBQ, 
Red Friday, Arrowhead (What's a GEHA?), even Municipal, Hall Of Famers (25 total, Mrs. McCarty, I know math!)

Yeah, but I do know that I love  you
And I know that if you love me, too
What a wonderful world this would be

If it ain't meant to be it ain't meant to be. We've been thru 'we no likey ' the Raiders, Elway, Manning, Brady, that Burrow guy.

Football, and our love is not for the birds, however you see fit to use that.

O'er the land of the free..  and the home of the...

CHIEF'S!!!

Bring it MaHomes Patrick, Travis, Chris Jones, Andy. Lift us Karlaftis.

A kajillion teenyboppers can't be wrong.  We're Taylormade for a 3-peat.

Sorry. Not really.

Love, Victurd
