I've seen that piece many times over the years and always really love it. Joe Delaney was such a breath of fresh air while he graced our team with his presence. I wear his jersey proudly every Sunday and continue to be amazed that the Chiefs still refuse to put a real hero in the ring of fame. It really makes me sick. Even if he wasn't a rookie of the year and a Pro Bowl running back anyone who gives his life while helping save children, should be on the wall.
At least someone has the common sense not to reissue his number despite no "official" recognition.
In closing, my favorite part of that segment is when they show the family picture on the mantle and Joe's wearing a Chiefs T-shirt standing between his children.
Some of us will never forget our first KC hero. It must've been my age at the time (10-11) but he really made an impression on me... on and off the field.
