Right! I found the stuff about the playoff losses riveting. We always wonder if the players care as much as the fans and...wow.

Hasty sounds like he is still pissed about that loss in 95. Not exactly happy about the Grbac debacle either (Damn it, Carl!!!).

And it is totally wrong that the Chiefs would not provide a ticket for a retired previous player to attend a game at Arrowhead. Yes, it could be a slippery slope but how cool would it be if they set aside a box for those guys to use whenever they may want? Sure, only former players get in free; spouses, etc have to pay like the rest of us. But that would be cool to see our former greats still coming around and being part of the Kingdom!

I do not know as fact, but I would almost guarantee that any Chief coming back for Alumni Weekend has either a free ticket in or a very steep discount.

In the past the alumni for alumni day sat in the owners box or another box set aside at no charge. They may have to buy any tickets above the two "comps" As for other games...when it comes to the douche bag that is Mark Donovan nothing would surprise me.

Now this would be awesome to have them set a box aside. These guys layed it on the line for this organization and need to be treated better. Oh btw this interview gave me goosebumps... tbose stories and his still raw emotion about it some 25 years later was amazing. Thanks for posting!

Absolutely, couldn't agree more.
