I don't mind new chiefs fans but give us older chiefs fans some respect because some of us shook lenny the cool hand and touched the superbowl ring.To this day i feel so powerful because i touched the superbowl ring. [Reply]
I've told this story on here before...when I worked at King Louie International in their bowling shirt/sports jacket company....I was introduced to Willie Lanier, Jim Lynch and Buck Buchanon.....
Was supposed to also meet Lenny Dawson but he had something come up that kept him from coming to the office.

My grandson was born in 2012. He does not know a world in which the Chiefs suck. So, I fear for his future when this run inevitably ends. Will he be able to suffer the slings and arrows of being a fan of a shitty team?
Hopefully it's gonna be many years before I have to find out...
Many of us survived it post 1970. It can be done and the glory is worth it. [Reply]

He was handing out autograph footballs. I wished I still had that football. [Reply]
