I remember them in superbowl in '85 too. As a avid chiefs fan I just can't imagine rooting for a team that goes on to become one of the greatest dynasty in history. Lucky bastard.

Yeah, good times for us.
And yes, I've been a fan since the late 70s. I don't remember the Ben Dreith incident, or '78 really, but I do remember Ron Ehrhardt (sp?) and Ron Meyer. 1-15 and 2-14 seasons. Dick MacPherson and Zeke Mowatt and Victor Kiam and Hugh Millen / Chuck Sullivan and hosting the Michael Jackson tour. I remember going to the Super Bowl in '85 after Squishing the Fish only to be blown out by the Bears in the most lopsided SB ever, and then having three key defensive players hurt in the SAME f'n preseason game the next year, guaranteeing that the team would be mediocre.
Kenneth Sims and Irving Fryar's finger. Orthwein and the move to St. Louis, and Kraft saving the team. Parcells' trying to get the HC of the NYJ (as BB would say) job BEFORE THE F'N SUPERBOWL with the Packers. Parcells stealing Curtis Martin.
Sam Bam and Mosi's Mooses. Nelson and Tippett and Hannah and Don Hasselback (father of Matt), and Hayes and Haynes. Grogs and brokedick Tony Eason.
Sitting on frozen crappy aluminum benches in December.
Yeah, I've been through it all for 30 years.
These are good times. They won't last forever. The 80s Celtics taught me that. Enjoy them while they last. It's just so freaking great to KNOW that your HC/front office knows WTF they are doing.
