I look back and offer a toast to ....
...my eight year-old self pretending to be a Chief on the playground
...my 17 year old self going to get my traditional pre-game meal at the restaurant near my house
...my 25 year old self subscribing to the KC newspaper because I no longer lived in the Chiefs viewing area.
...my 31 year old self wearing my jersey to see Joe Montana in the playoffs
...my 40 year old self watching the Chiefs balance shift from defense to offense
...my 49 year old self wondering if the Chiefs would ever be competitive
...my 55 year old self watching Mahomes play and suddenly realizing that the football world has changed.
This one's for you, past Rain Men.
