Chiefs Chiefs christened the new “America’s Team”

It is time for the Dallas Cowboys to lose the nickname "America's Team", as there's a new team that has that throne.

Before we go forward, let's go back as the nickname began back in 1978 as the team released their annual highlight film.

The narrator of the film, John Facendal started the film by saying "They appear on television so often that their faces are as familiar to the public as presidents and movie stars. They are the Dallas Cowboys, "America's Team".

Ever since then along with the success came more and more fans who wanted to cheer for America's team and the franchise value boomed to the best by far in the NFL.

The success though has dried up and when teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, Arizona Cardinals and others are making Championship games while the Cowboys are in a two decade drought, the nickname has to go.

America is full of winners, not losers and the name "America's Team" needs to be attached to some winners.

There's a new "America's Team" and they reside right in the heart of America as the Kansas Chiefs are the new era darlings of the NFL.

I was born in 1985 so my memories of the dominance of the Dallas Cowboys of course comes from the 1990's which I see so many comparisons to this current Chiefs roster and future.

You start with the head coaches and both Jimmy Johnson and Andy Reid had the resume coming into the position and both landed the Lombardi Trophy.

Johnson did it twice before his unceremonious departure from Big D and Reid landed his first a season ago with more on the horizon in the years to come.

Both had superstar QB's that were drafted by the team and in the case of the Chiefs, they actual have the better of the two and that is saying something considering Troy Aikman's Hall of Fame jacket.

The Cowboys had the edge with individual talent at WR and RB with two Hall of Famers in Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith but the Kansas Chiefs have more offensive weapons overall and they have the perfect individuals for their scheme.

The defenses are so similar from having studs on the defensive line to athletes all over the field and some big names in the secondary.

Overall there are clearly many similarities between the two and the dynasty run of the Kansas City Chiefs is just beginning with a mega star in Patrick Mahomes signing a long term deal and being what many consider the perfect player to be a franchise quarterback.

Players will want to come play for this team for years to come, Mahomes is only going to get better and the experience their young players are getting is going to make them a prohibitive favorite year in and year out.

I mention all that to say this... They are all so likable as well!

This a group you want to cheer for, it is a city right in the heart of America that has all the makings of a football mecca over the next decade and as the great Denny Green once said, "If you wanna crown em, then crown their ass!".

Well Denny, I'm going to crown the Kansas City Chiefs as the new "America's Team".

Let's go!

**DaFace** · 10-23-2020, 10:15 AM

I'd rather the moniker just die and go away.

Love It!

The author appears to be a fan of the Kansas Chiefs, not the Kansas City Chiefs. I presume that's a different team.

Gotta admit, I always thought Cowboys fans were arrogant as hell to call themselves that.

Even so, I do think we're now a better candidate for that title than they are. The Cowboys have been dysfunctional for decades at this point.

This. No thank you.

**Lzen** · 10-23-2020, 10:28 AM

2-decade drought? More like 2.5 decades.

And I agree America's Team is stupid. Each American city has its own team. That moniker should never have become a thing.

This.

**** anything associated with those asshat Cowboys.

AdolfOliverBush · 10-23-2020, 10:47 AM

I wouldn't take prime Michael Irvin over Tyreek Hill OR Kelce.

Aikman had arguably the best O-line in history. Mahomes' is subpar at best.

Absolutely.

**** NAW!

The Denver Broncos can be Haiti's team.

Then again, that's probably not a good idea. Haiti already has enough problems as it is. It doesn't need the Broncos on top of all that.
