The Chiefs defense from Super Bowl IV has Buchanan, Culp, Bell, Lanier, Thomas and Robinson in the HOF. 6 of the starting 11. Offense only has Dawson. Otis Taylor made Dawson who he was as a QB. He should have been in 20 years ago. Tyrer was every bit as good as Gene Upshaw. He had CTE before anybody knew what that was. There's a documentary coming out about his life. His son has forgiven him -the kids were in the house when this happened- and his wife's family has forgiven him too. His brain was scrambled and he did something unspeakable. OJ remains in Canton despite what he did. I think there's enough understanding of the injury Tyrer suffered to allow him in Canton. He played at Ohio State, so he's an Ohio guy, where the Hall is located. I hope he makes it.

He gave me and others Trophies for Pee Wee football in Raytown. Lamar was big on players giving back to the community.

Still have the signed program.
