50 years ago today
 

“65 Toss Power Trap” became the most famous words in franchise history.

Otis Taylor broke Earsoll Macbee’s shoulder and high stepped into the end zone to clinch it.

Hank Stram being “Mic’ed Up” became some of the greatest audio in NFL history.


The journey for 2 starts tomorrow.

Let’s go get it, lads.

I want to be alive for the greatest run in Chiefs history.

We ALL need this.

Have fun storming the castle!


P.S. "Earsell Mackbee" is how his name was spelled, I believe.

I want Hank Stram's laugh as my ringtone after we win the SB.

Thanks for making this thread. I was going to.

50 years ago today. 5 ****ing zero. I was still in mom's belly. I'm still considered the jinx.

LET'S ****ING GO!

It's time.

You’re correct. From memory I thought for sure I was correct. Time seems to do that to a memory.

Either way, he was no match for Otis Taylor down the sideline.

I wasn't even a tadpole in my dad's nutsack. I really feel for you older guys, not that I don't have my own "fond" memories..

Anyone have a GIF of that handy? Hard to find one that's decent quality

I remember when 50 years ago seemed like a long time...then I turned 49 in December of 2019...the Chiefs have never been to the SB in my lifetime...and damn, that means for me it has never happened.

THIS. MUST. BE. THE. YEAR...

Because, Chiefs. Mom moved us from Pleasant Hill, MO to Mountain Home, AR Halloween weekend ‘69. Thanks mom.

I loved the comedic little pepper pot!!!

As long as we're doing "Today in History"

Just not enough guys named "Earsell."

I was eight years old for Super Bowl I and remember watching it with my dad. I clearly remember the day of Super Bowl IV. It was a real cold day like today with snow on the ground here in KC. I watched the game with my dad, and he was whooping and hollering afterwards because he was so happy. I went down to the lake at the end of our street and played hockey with some of the neighborhood kids, and we were all excited that the Chiefs won. Then came the playoff loss to Miami in 71 and it all went dark for a long long long time. My dad passed a week after the 2011 loss to Baltimore in the playoffs at Arrowhead. He never got to see them in the Super Bowl again.

We got close last year. Sure hope this year is our year. I'm 60 now. Don't have another 50 years to get this close again.

One of the best days of my life. I still remember it like yesterday.

My dad also passed in 2011. He'd have been 73 this year. I'm 36 but I remember those 90s teams and man we thought KNEW it was going to be our year, every year. I wish he could be around for the Mahomes era :(

I was 3 months old. My dad has talked of that day in hushed and reverent tones, like speaking of a former military commander who led the country to victory over hated oppressors.

I’ve been in Arrowhead when Mike Fuller was QB and the stadium was empty. I’ve lived through Marty Ball and the kicker who shall not be named. I’ve watched us use re-tread QBs from SF and re-tread GMs from New England.

But now? We have our QB. We have our coach. We have our defense. This is our year. This is our time.

KC is back, bitches!

I was seven.

Watched it on a B/W TV with my Mom and Uncle.

Yeah, I'm 61 and remember 1 and 4. Lost my dad in 83 so he never got to see the revival of the Chiefs in the 90s. My best memory of 1 was my dad sitting on the couch with a tv tray in front of him with a big bowl of popcorn and a Budweiser. Something not good for the Chiefs happened, there were a lot of cuss words and popcorn and beer were flying everywhere as the tv tray took the brunt of his temper.

Watched Super Bowl I in color because my dad loved Bonanza & had to watch it in color. Kinda funny to think of nowadays.

I remember watching Super Bowl I on the kitchen floor while the adults were all hanging out in the front room. My mom didn’t want us kids exposed to adult beverages & cuss words(like we couldn’t see or hear them anyway).

I am 49 years and 3 months old. The last Chiefs Superbowl was literally just before I was conceived. I have literally waited my entire life (including in the womb) for the Chiefs to win the Superbowl.

Need more details on this Mike Fuller qb you speak of. Is he the love child of Mike Livingston and Steve Fuller?

i was 6 when they won, i remember it happening and i dam sure remember we started going to the games in 72, first year in arrowhead. we got to sit in the glassed in sections, was a whole lot o fun for a kid !

Ha ha! I was 6 or 7 and for years I had Mike Fuller in my mind. But you’re right. Shows how long I’ve been waiting.

Damn you guys are old!

I was in college at CMSU in 1979 hanging out at the Grainery when in walks Mike Bell & Steve Fuller. The girls went wild.

We really really do!

And very, VERY bitter...
