I respect your compassion for Larry Fitzgerald, but honestly, I really don't want anyone not wearing a Chiefs uniform hoisting the Lombardi.
It has been too long, this team has sat on the sidelines waiting to be dancing for an eternity. **** everyone else. If a players wants a Lombardi, follow the lead of Terrell Owens and lobby the Chiefs to put you on the roster. |

More importantly, I'm not talking about someone anyone would root for over the Chiefs. That's a no-brainer. I'm talking about someone where, even if it came out our expense, you would find room in your heart to be happy for were to it happen. If no one can think of someone in the present arena, maybe talk about people in the past where you put aside your personal preference because their story was personally compelling enough for you [say, if Barry Sanders had walked off the field an NFL champion, or if Steve Largent had ever won one, Marino, Cris Carter, etc., or I suppose if there were people who were happy for Bettis' bullshit victory lap].

Barry Sanders would have been the most perfect example for me now that you mention him. He went to HS with my eldest daughter. He was humble and a very good person even though his Dad was a dirt bag. I did catch myself rooting for the hopeless Lions during his tenure. Another would have been Fran Tarkenton, loved the guy and he was a blast to watch. That would have been a "two for" as Bud Grant would have received his as well. |

We've had this argument over and over. Usually I'm the one on the other side. Aikman is a game manager, but he's also a champion undefeated in the SB. My point was more about the draft year anyway. Tell me you wouldn't any and/or all of those four over just about anything we've drafted in the nearly 30 years since.

I agree that I would take Aikman over just about any draft pick the Chiefs have had in the 30 years since that draft (Mahomes excluded), but that is more of a commentary on the Chiefs lack of QB success in those years than it is Aikman’s place among the great QBs. |

But Fran and Bud deserved a title. They just had the incredible misfortune to play some of the best AFC teams in the 1970s. Any other era, they win, at least, two titles. |

Not really. Every player who enters the league would love to win a super bowl but being able to retire with millions in the bank and relatively good health is doing pretty ****ing sweet. Look at someone like Joe Thomas from the Browns. One of the best to ever play his position yet never sniffed the playoffs. Guy got paid while he was in the league and got to walk away on his own terms.
In baseball one of the unsung guys I was super stoked to see win a ring with the Royals was Luke Hochevar. Luke never lived up to expectations and ran hot and cold in his starts. Luke played on some horrendous Royals teams and took a bunch of shit from us fans. I thought he was pretty solid in his role in the World Series. Couldn’t have been happier for him for sticking it out.

It would have to be an ex-Chief. One of my all time favorite players still playing is DJ. But seeing where he went **** that.
I do think it would be hysterical if it happened to AS. The board would go into meltdown and it would be awesome to watch. |

I was thinking the same about DJ. Had he gone to, say, the 49ers, I would have been happy for him. But no way do I want to see the Fade win it. Same goes for Charles and the Donks. Smith, I would be okay with. I bear no I'll will for the Redskins. And you're right, the meltdown on CP would be hilarious. The Alexsexuals would return to drag their nutsacks across the face of SDH and his cohorts. SDH's head might actually explode.

Plus, it would mean the Redskins won so PC heads would explore.
