Specifically, the countless number of times that Tamba Hali and Justin Houston got neck-tied by Donks O-Lineman during the Manning days.

The trouble started with a Donks at KC game in Nov. 2012 & in that game both Houston and Hali were getting constant pressure on Manning and the Donks didn't get the blowout over KC everybody was anticipating (Donks won 17-9) and afterwards we started seeing Hali and Houston getting necktied repeatedly in games against the Donks.

The good teams and best players, esp QBs have always had the benefit of doubt swing in their favor. I don’t get too wrapped up in it, never have unless it’s just flagrant. KC gets a fair share of calls or no calls to their benefit as the top team.

Social media also exposes it more now, for all teams. Was it the Bikings game that had 3 missed face mask calls this last week?

Yeah and 50% of the comments on social media blamed the CHIEFS for it. That's the world we live in.

Can we all agree that watching the Donks lose in the worst way possible was spectacular? Literally the last second when they were almost celebrating. I'd take that over a blow out every time...

I mean this was their Superbowl...they've waited all year for it....and a chance at respectability. Nope...still the average team they've been for a decade...another year, another losing season.

Agreed. Clyde Frog put it best:

"Absolutely deserving of all the pain, heartache and mediocrity they're going through currently and due for many, many more years of it."

You mentioned laughing out loud a few times...I too am guilty of it...even now as I type.

They deserve every last bit of this Karma retribution...I thought the gods would ease up on them after Horseface had to present KC their 4th SB trophy...that was cruel and unusual punishment. Nope...they're still twisting the cosmic knife...and it's glorious.

I get it, I get all of that, definitely. But there is a path for me to rank BMarsh near the top, and that path goes through, first - the WR career highlight videos on YouTube (pay for ad-free YT, it's well worth it), and second - Calvin Johnson. Always loved Megatron, a unicorn of greatness stuck on a BAD franchise. Just like Barry Sanders, two all-time greats compelled to retire after just nine and ten years. Nine and ten, really?

Couple years back I'm watching a Calvin video, and it strikes me his daunting physical size is exactly the same as BMarsh: both 6'5" 235. So I switch to a BMarsh video, and he just leaps off the screen – even more impressive than Megatron. It’s the YAC, the contested catches, the one-handed catches, the physical, the catches in traffic, the everything.

NOW: I don’t harbor any contempt for the flood of "pass-first era" WRs that started filling up retirement lists after 2010 ... Larry Fitzgerald, Tim Brown, Marvin Harrison, Andre Johnson, Michael Irvin, they all have their place in mostly stats-driven greatness. But what I see with them is more smooth, more route running, more system, more QB, more consistency with team and teammates …. BMarsh had little to none of that.
BMarsh was and is a troubled personality, it contributed to him playing for 6 teams in 13 years (really 4 teams in 11 years, the last two barely registered). 6/11 100-catch seasons, 8/11 1000-yard seasons. Better catch % than Calvin Johnson, Randy Moss, T O., Michael Irvin … but it’s not stats. The bottom line is the eye test

Give it 3 minutes…..

And I'm also still laughing about it, just like I'm still laughing about a similar classic moment that occurred in 2000 when the Donks came to KC. It went like this:

I worked in a call-center office on a Sunday when it was slow & this gal named Kathy who was Donks fan insisted that the TV be turned on so she could watch the Donks-Chiefs game.

When the score got to where I thought that KC was going to win, I just couldn't resist it and blurted out:

"Penalty against Denver.................too many Donkeys on the field".

The look on her face was priceless, as she looked like her bladder & bowels had just emptied in her drawers.

KC won the game 20-7.

Comparing Megatron to Brandon Marshall is peak Donktard logic...that's Knoshow level.

Yep. Buffy is special that way. :-)

OMG YES! That was an EPIC WAY TO LOSE! Would much prefer to watch that than a blowout. With a blowout, you have time to accept the outcome. That was just sudden, death, over, what the fuck just happened!?!?Just AWESOME! :-)
