All Alone At Christmas (Circa 1971)

Note - this is the third consecutive and final year of my original post. Being this is an anniversary, I thought I would put it up one last time. But my holiday wish my friends will endure forever. Thanks for understanding. S
Municipal Stadium, Kansas City, Christmas Day 1971. Forty Years ago today.
It will be remembered by NFL historians as the longest playoff game ever played. It will be remembered by Chief's fans as the day Ed Podolak gained a record 350 all-purpose yards. Me, I will always remember watching Bob Griese and the Dolphins beat the Chiefs all alone in my aunt's basement and completely missed opening presents. That might sound trivial to some but please understand, I was only 9 years old at the time. And my mom was frustrated because I kept telling her that I would be upstairs to join everyone "as soon as the game was over."
Of course, it felt like it would never end. And that was perfectly fine by me.

Hey AP (and j-man), I need to make a trade with the enemy

So here's the specifics of the deal. My youngest daughter, a die-hard Chief's Fan, dates a Donkey fan. I know, I know but his dad grew up in Colorado so at least he's true to his roots (which I can somewhat respect plus he's good to her and doesn't is not allowed to wear orange when he goes to Arrowhead with us). The target is that his grandparents just went to a nursing home and while cleaning out their basement, they came across a football. But not just any football. A 1973 Kansas City Chief's team autographed football. With five hall-of-famer's that signed it in addtion to about 35 other guys and Coach Stram. Seems that his grandfather was ill in a KC Hospital and someone got him the ball signed as a get well wish.
Now the trade after the jump

All Alone at Christmas (redux)
I only post this again because its pertinent to know where we have been to fully appreciate where we are going and why we are here. And for all the many new members of AP who have joined us in the last year. Welcome to something very special.
Where are the Chiefs vs the League?
From creanium over at Bolts from the Blue (so please excuse the homer attitude). A very good analysis of where the Chiefs are in relation to the league
Chiefs rank 17th in rush offense in 2010. Huh?
Come on Mr. Cole. you can't say that we made one of the best moves in FA this year in T. Jones, that Jamaal Charles ran against some weak run defenses (at 5.9 ypc?), we added do-everything speedster Dexter McCluster, strengthened our own OL, not to mention that 2.7 is gone AND use the argument that numbers 5-16 are going to be better because of "back from injury" and "look what they did for the last four years".
Kinda surprised he didn't rank Washington's running attack ahead of ours with all that BS thinking. I would never put Denver's that high and think that Oakland's will be better than 20.
