  1. Charlie and Merlin. Two dearly departed legends who make me happy and grateful that I was alive as a football fan when they were here.

  2. Im 54 years old and ive seen and watched alot of football in my time here on earth and alot of hall of fame inductions and when i see players go into the hall that go in and aren't near as good as #37 LESTER HAYES i get sick at my stomach what a sick joke.

  3. 32:19 talking about 4th downs and going for it….that has just caught on in the last few years, but they were saying it was starting to change even here. Crazy. Before, it was automatically a fg try or punt …now, its wide open gambling.

  4. Chiefs turned Franchise around 1989, never has looked back.

    Kansas City Chiefs own 4th most wins in NFL since 1989-Prsnt.

  5. People? KC fans?

    THIS^^^ is the game that set the Chiefs to where they r today.

    Its the Fans…KC fans are second to none

  6. Thank you for posting this. Marty's Arrowhead debut, the beginning of his absolute hatred for the Raiders. Derrick Thomas' coming out party with his first 2.5 sacks. Chris Martin and Dan Saleaumua showing they would soon be stalwarts of that defense, and of course, Kevin "The Rock" Ross. Okoye being the workhorse that got him the rushing title that year, and Steve DeBerg being the field general we loved in KC. Many great Marcus Allen Memories as a Chiefs fan, so it felt weird that I once rooted against him. Carl Peterson getting the area businesses to buy up the last tickets to sell out the stadium to avoid the local blackout early on in his tenure, and seeing OJ Simpson saying that Howie Long didn't play as well as he use to because he went for the cut look were also hidden gems of this broadcast.
