I remember watching Bill Kenney, but was really too young to absorb it fully.

The first game I actually watched was 49ers/Bengals Super Bowl when Montana hit Taylor for the win (John Candy game).

It wasnt long after that DeBerg became the Chiefs QB and we went to the playoffs, I remember being young enough that I thought the words "wild card" sounded cool. "The Chiefs are the WILD CARD. That's awesome!!" Maybe I even equated it with Uno. I remember losing to Marino in Miami, and feeling like I had been gypped. Didn't realize at the time I needed to get used to that feeling.

Kevin Harlan was THE voice of the Chiefs on 101.1 the Fox, and I liked the Chiefs well enough. I started playing Madden football on Super Nintendo, and Tecmo Bowl on the regular Nintendo...and then we got Joe. And Marcus.

And I got hit with that fevah. We went to the AFC Championship. And Joe got hit with a helmet-to-helmet that was so brutal it wouldn't just be a penalty, someone would've been ejected and fined. I figured we'd be back the next year, we had JOE!!!

And we didn't.

And so Bono became the starter...and we didn't.

Then came the Gannon/Grbac years...and we didn't.

Then Vermeil gave us real hope...but it was such a horrid putrid defense, and no real WRs on offense...so we didn't.

And Herm...no duh, we didn't.

The Pioli years...and we didn't...

So Alex Smith came, and I was conditioned not to get my hopes up for another 49er retread, because I had been seeing that same show my whole life.

And now?

It's MAHOMES.
