The absolute worst day of my childhood was December 25, 1971. Instead of being excited about Christmas and the massive number of gifts that I received that day I was CRUSHED when the Chiefs lost to the Dolphins in double overtime in the longest game in NFL history. I cursed like a sailor, began to break things, and acted a total ass. Although I was only 11 years old I still remember this all very clearly.
I got the ass whipping of my life from my parents and they took away my presents for over a week!
Without question the Chiefs were the best team in the NFL that year. They would have beat the shit out of the Cowboys in the Super Bowl had they gone on to play them (and they should have!) It took YEARS to get that game out of my mind. I'm much better now but I'm sure that I'd say something nasty to Jan Stenerud if I ever meet him.
