It was 1977 and I was 6, and the QB was Mike Livingston. I don't remember who we were playing, but I remember the father figure and male role model in my life, my brother-in-law, kept saying "he's no Dawson." I asked "what's a Dawson?" and he said "it's not a what, it's a who" and then I heard the history of how this mysterious Dawson led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl victory the year, 13 months really, before I was born.
I think you can probably guess my next question, but for those of you who can't, it was "What's a super bowl? Is it a special bowl?" I was six, watching the first NFL game of my life, and I didn't understand why teams would play for a bowl, like the one I used for cereal.
But I have been a Kansas City Chiefs fan since that day. I have waited nearly 42 years for my team to replace that mysterious Dawson guy, and they finally have.
