Former Marine from Branson, MO now living amongst Donkey fans in Colorado (since 1995). I grew up going to Cardinals baseball and football games (before they left St. Louis and headed for the desert). Played pop warner football in Illinios and Hart and Dierdorf presented our third place state trophey to us when I was in eighth grade. Was moderately interested in the Chiefs until I moved to Branson in ninth grade and started following them more closely. The deal was sealed when the Cardinals left St. Louis, the Chiefs became my favorite team that year (1986?). I have been a die-hard Chiefs fan ever since.
