It's a given, the Chiefs will win the Super Bowl this year...

In 1970, there were 211 of us that were Seniors in the Liberty High School graduating class. Well.... we're Seniors again. So, it's a given.

Nixon was President. And now? Ha. A given.

They had Dave Hill, we have Tyreek.

Emmitt Thomas was a cornerback then. Emmitt Thomas is our cornerback coach now.

Curly Culp, Buck Buchanan, Bobby Bell, Willie Lanier, Jim Lynch, Johnny Robinson - were buttkickers. We have Harrison Butt-kicker.

Willie Mitchell was the punt returner, Mitchell Schwartz blocks on punts now.

Those Chiefs beat the hated rival the Oakland Raiders in the final AFL Championship game. These Chiefs beat the hated rival the Oakland Raiders in their final Regular Season game.

We're in the Hunt. Then was Lamar, now there's Clark.

The season then was marred a bit by Len Dawson's injury and also controversy surrounding purported involvement in a sports gambling ring. Kareem Hunt, seeya later.

Their defense allowed the fewest yards rushing and passing. This offense had the most total yards in the NFL (and points too.)

Dawson had a cig at halftime. At half, Mahomes will put ketchup on the cheeseburger he hadn't quite finished before the game.

Those Hall of Famers: Dawson, Lanier, Bell, Buchanan, Culp, Thomas, Stenerud, Stram (and probably Robinson to be inducted this year.) These?  Houston? Reid? Mahomes? Hill? Kelce? Berry? Schwartz?

First round draft pick defensive back Jim Marsalis. First move this team, Alex Smith for defensive back Kendall Fuller.

18th and Vine was jivin'. 18th and Vine is revivin'.

Arrowhead on helmet. Arrowhead on helmet, check. (Also, on Stadium)

That team was the first Super Bowl era team to hold post season opponents to 10 or fewer points. This team, *I think, is the first NFL team to ever score 25 (or more) points per game, ever. (The *I think part is because I heard that, I ain't paid or professional, I'm a blogger for behogety sakes, but I think you can take that to the bank...or maybe a Savings and Loan, I dunno fer sure fer sure)

That team beat the Chargers, Broncos, Bengals.
This team beat the Chargers, Broncos, Bengals.

The 1969 KC Royals finished in last place.
The 2018 KC Royals finished in last place.

The Vikings were favored to win the Super Bowl.
The Saints are favored to win the Super Bowl.

Coach Stram had a local tailor custom fit each member of the team a suit jacket and pants to be worn on all road trips. This year, there's some dude in the stands that has a custom made outfit exactly matching that of Andy Reid's duds.

Coach Stram was the very first NFL coach to be 'miked up' for a game. Tyreek Hill became the very first player/camera operator in an NFL game.

Warpaint then, up/down the field after a score. Warpaint now, up/down field after a score. Then, Bob Johnson rode Warpaint, bareback and with headdress. Long, long ago, KC beat Oakland 42-10. John Madden, Oakland Coach, said after the game "We couldn't beat the Chiefs, but we damn near killed their horse." This team, Susie, KC Chiefs Cheerleader (in cheerleader outfit) rides the horse. Great game with the Rams. We couldn't beat 'em (54-51) but we damn near killed the horse.

OK, I'm 'history'ed out'.

I/we, those of us old enough to remember - know what a great time that was. Please please please please, allow history to repeat itself. Beat the drum. Do the tomahawk chop. Wear red (Friday). Hell, eat lots of ketchup. Drink a Guinness, yell loud, break a Guinness record. Sew your oats. Or, hell, give 'em to Warpaint. Not a big fan of Mitch Holthus's "Put the Hammer Down" but whatthehell, Put the Hammer Down. (Hey, wasn't Freddie "The Hammer" Williamson on that old Chiefs team? Nope, he put his hammer down in '67, started acting, all the more reason for us to put the hammer down.)

Lenny Dawson was named the MVP of Super Bowl IV. He was awarded a new Mercedes-Benz. Coincidentally, this years Super Bowl will be played in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Far out.

Hey, have a Super day....

Love, Victurd
(While Dawson was the MVP, I made up the Mercedes car crap, but it made for a nice ending, sorry.)
