The worst part of this, and I'm old enough to remember, is that the Chiefs really wanted Dan Marino and Makovic was given full reign in the draft and wanted that Penn State wonder...
The 80s... a great time for Royals baseball and a frustrating time for Chiefs football. Tickets were always easy to come by.
Glad I'm still around to see the Chiefs finally make a move and take a chance because you miss 100% of the shots that you don't take.
