Thought you might want to update it. The columns offered by www.kcchiefs.com are among the most popular headings on the site. Bob Gretz, a former beat reporter who covered teams in two cities and is currently sports director of KCFX-FM, the flagship of the Chiefs radio network, has been offering his take on the Chiefs longer than any writer on the team's official web site. If you scroll down this page, you will have answered many of your questions about the writer and learn more about what he thinks. Hey Bob,

Age catches up with even the best...Al Davis was 'the best' at what he did, whether as a Coach or GM/Managing General Partner (MGP); now, winter's nigh on apprehended, as in discontent. But, when it was a game...Al was King! As a first year Head Coach in 1963 he turned the 1-13 ugly duckling Raiders from cellar dwellers, to a 10-4 team that vied for the AFL West Title. Then, in his 1st full season as Raiders MGP, he led them to the Superbowl in '67. All told, his teams won more games than any other in football as a measure over some three decades- as in the 'Team Of The Decades.' That's part of the allure & raison for a jealousy toward Davis...Rin can identify with Al in that. Let us see whether 'search' can duplicate Al's Superbowl in his first full season as GM or if 'check' can turn a 2-14 (compared to Davis 1-13 Raider) first year team into 10-4 one as Al. As such, water into wine be the legacy Al Davis; et tu search/check? We'll leave the light on for you...don't hold your collective breath. ;-) “The autumn wind is a Raider!”
