I've been watching and recording the game. That was a classic. Watching Montana was like watching a brilliant surgeon at work. I always thought that we might have gone all the way if he stuck it out one more year with that great defense in 95. tm 1946, I feel your sentiment but I don't know, I kind of enjoyed owning the hated Raiders for all those years. The rivalry was special though, wasn't it? It may take a while but don't stop believing. Double A,

Al Davis and h8s team are gone and it kills us raiderhaters. Now we may be losing Bowlen and Denver. Not much left, is there? It is time for the younger folks to step forward with new challenges and teams to hate.

Yes C.P. did a lot for the Chiefs & the community great things Yes . It was his arrogance & his refusal to admit wrong when clearly he was. That has cost C.P. a lot of the credit he deserve for our Chiefs . We on the outside well never know how much C. P. input was in the draft failures. The alienating of players would have to be his failure . In life we all well be weighted by our past not the future . We would all like to write our own legacy but that’s not how it works .

KC "Elway v. Montana" It's a great game. DT's impact is obvious...measured, in that, Marty sat him out the first half of the game for disciplinary reasons. MUST SEE TV!! Fair warning though-- will make you cry watching how great KC's defense used to be, but is no more. FYI:

This is the first thing I thought of when Nieswanger became the Starting Center, knowing he has desires to be a surgeon someday. Better tape em up good Rudy!

I may be off on a word or two, but this portion goes as follows: These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and sunshine patriot, will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country. But he who stands now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily conquered. But we have with us the consolation that, the harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph. I just love that.

Peterson's time was up at KC...actually several years past "up", in my opinion. But the man was not Satan, as a lot of people would like you to believe. Agreed.

I don't think there would be very many people who could deny that Peterson did many good things for the community. But personel wise, he sucked, especialy the last 10 years. Gump,

My fathers house was removed at ground level. It had been ten years since I left, but, I Knew some of the people that died. All things aside football, what Carl did for the High school and the football team was wonderful. I went to that High School and played on that field. His efforts to help rebuild were wonderful for that community. This was about more than just football. I think it was time for him to go, but, as a person, he deserves credit for trying to help a situation that he was able to in some small way. I grew up in Greensburg.

It's almost as if Bowlen wants to kill his franchise softly with his actions and non-actions. What's the deeper story developing here? We may never know.
