Yep!!! You are so right. I was at the last playoff game in Memorial Stadium on I believe Christmas Day? ... was it in '71? Man was it cold, but the cold was easy to endure coz we thought we would win. That was the beginning of the rise of the Dolphins and the downfall of the Chiefs.

Let me change the thought a little ... I don't mind following a team that is building towards becoming a champion. i.e. even the early days of the Royals. They lost a lot of games but we could see the progress and delighted in watching "our" team. I think I see a slight ray of hope, again, with Moore as GM???

If Kingless/Herm would give us a blueprint for rebuilding the team ... I could go watch in freezing weather. But, with this mess it's hard to watch it even in my comfortable living room. But, with CP pretending we will win the SB this year and forcing Herm to play Huard to start the season so the team could win enough games to keep the $$$ rolling in ... one gets a hopeless feeling that things will never get better, coz he is only concerned about this year's bank account.

Um, sorry to mess with your memory, but that Christmas Day game in 1971 was unusually warm, it was around 63 degrees that day, which helped the Dolphins a bunch, because they were a warm weather climate team. A 20 degree day would have probably been an advantage for the Chiefs.

Yesterday's loss may have been worse in warmer weather, since San Diego is also a warm weather team.

You are correct ...

I did a search and finally found the temps ... man, I sure don't remember it that way ... maybe I just glamorized the cold weather over time or maybe it just turned that cold after watching Garo Yepremian make the field goal.

The lady sitting next to me was there with her husband and two small children. Whenever that happened, she asked who he was and why he was being booed. We told her who he was. I asked her if she noticed all of the empty seats. When she said yes, I simply said we basically had him to thank for that. I don't think she understood, but that was the best way I could think of to explain it.
