Once, when I was a very small boy, my grandfather took me to the circus and I got to see Emmett Kelly wipe grandpa's shiny bald head with a shiny purple handkerchief. At the time I didn't realize I was watching greatness. I also didn't realize that handkerchiefs would no longer be used by the time I became an adult. But hey, I was maybe four, what did I know?

That is extremely cool, Mr. RJ. I've heard about EK all my life. He was a very famous clown and, apparently, had a tremendous sociological impact during the depression era by turning a downtrodden hobo into a comic figure to the delight of all. That's a great memory you have there.

Ouch that hurt.

But the Charger offense was almost as good and there is no question the Chargers defense was 100 times better, the only area the Chiefs were clearly superior was the 2003 special teams.

[Brock]

They were equally pathetic.

FAX, I never thought of that before, about his impact on depression era people. My grandparents were both of that time, I guess that explains why a circus clown was a familiar figure to them. Interesting.

I've always believed that a great deal of his popularity stemmed in large measure from the hobo routine, Mr. RJ. Of course he was very talented, but he was able to connect with all the folks who were standing in the bread lines and looking for day labor jobs. He had the ability to translate their difficulties into laughter. No easy task. A little like Chaplin's "little tramp" character, perhaps. You were very fortunate to see him perform.

I honestly dont know much about the 03 Chiefs, other than that all of the Chargers Base Are Belong To Priest Holmes that season.

I can't help you, I've successfully repressed the '03 season from my memory and I don't care much for you trying to undo all of my hard work.

06 Chargers. That team should have won a super bowl.

The 03 Chiefs were just pretenders...

[HolmeZz]

'06 Chargers.

I have to agree. I really thought that the Chargers would finally earn Marty the ring I thought he always deserved. Especially when he had a better team than the Broncos in the '86 and '87 seasons.

It's strange to me that we can say that Barry Sanders was great, but he never got the ring. Dan Marino was great but he never got the ring.

Know what? Marty was a great coach, but he never got the ring.
