Post subject: To Derrick Thomas and/or KC Chiefs fans...

First of all, congratulations. It's about time. I am very happy that he made it. My main hope and goal for today was for Derrick Thomas to get voted in. And it happened.

Also, you should be appreciative of Bob Gretz and the job he did today in the presentation.

It was Bob's best presentation. Like any good QB who has to adjust, he changed some things around, and came up big.

I know that Gretz has taken some criticism in KC and I never thought he deserved it -- but I also recognize that this can be a very frustrating process, so I understans the need to release some anger. But Bob got it done. And this was a very tough class.

After Bob spoke, I followed up by presenting some of my research that gave a more enlightened look at DT's raw stats. Peter King was definitely in DT's corner, and spoke up for him. So did John Clayton and some others.

Great day for the Chiefs and their fans and the Hunt family and DT's mom, and Gretz.
