I just checked, and it probably was Hayes he was talking about -- Hayes played longer than I thought with KC, starting in the early 80s; Beckman's career ended after 84. Still, it's weird that I'd think of Beckman and not Hayes.

And Fred Jones.

I remember seeing "highlights" of a game on tv where there were 11,000 people. I remember the sportscaster saying "there's the 11 people who came to the game...actually it was about 11,000." I felt slightly ashamed for some reason. I was very young and just coming into being a fan. I actually thought Gary Spani and Gary Barbaro were great players who could take us to the Super-Bowl.

:spock:

Yeah it was Jonathan Hayes.

Wasn't Saxson the RB?

jj was the shit....

wow....there's a blast from......somewhere.......

I believe so. We were quite the offensive juggernaut.

Tim Barnett was black you were thinking of Robb Thomas.

You're right.....my bad.

Yeah, I may have worked that game, too. In 1982, there was a NFL strike. The late-season games that year were not well attended at Arrowhead. I missed the Jets game that year because of car trouble, but that sparsely attended game could have been against the 49ers or the Raiders. If I recall correctly, there weren't many fans at that Raiders game and the Raiders won late in the 4th-quarter, but my memory might be wrong. Here's the 1982 entry in the Chiefs War Room:

your "bad"?

just a little bad, or really naughty?

Carlos Carson was one of Bill Kenney's favorite receivers in the 1980's. He played during he same era with Henry Marshall (from Mizzou) and Stephone Paige. He was on the smallish size, kind of like Santana Moss is now for the NY Jets. Good speed, deep threat. Played for a lot of mediocre teams. Chiefs usually went 6-10 up to around 8-8 during those years. He had a better than average NFL career. I don't think he played anywhere else (and if so not for long) after he left the Chiefs, so he was pretty much a career Chiefs player. I also believe he was a number one draft pick out of LSU, but I'd have to go back to the record book and check that.

I think he played in Minneesoota with Jaycie Pearson for a year or two.
