This. My bad.

Keeping the Dawson family in my prayers.

Sad to read about this, hopefully he’s not in too much discomfort. I was reading about his early life and learned that he was a seventh son from a seventh son, that can’t happen too often. Also read that he was All State in both football and basketball.

I remember he came a couple times to our grade school and would eat a school lunch at the front table in the cafeteria. Always in a good mood whenever I saw him in public.

I love how he credits being the seventh son of a seventh son as a reason for his success in life.

NFL Network should have a tribute slate of games and shows ready when he does pass.

I will save the 1962 AFL Championship Game on the DVR if they show that. I heard a lot about that game, but have not watched.

I enjoyed listening to him when he was commentator for Chiefs football games on the radio. "You have to protect the quarterback" he would always say.

The original Chiefs legend.

Very sad. Growing up in KC, he was football royalty. The only other player in KC history at the time that could hold a candle to him was George Brett. I’m glad he got to see KC win another ring. He was good to this organization for many, many years.

My wife is getting her master’s degree in nursing and she chose Purdue University. When i heard, I said, “Awesome! You’ll be a BoilerMaker just like Lenny Dawson!” She got a look on her face and started to say something (undoubtedly “who?”) and I just said, “The 2nd best KC QB ever. Lenny the cool. Just nod and say, ‘cool’.” She did. And so now she and Lenny the Cool have something in common, although I don’t think she puts as much weight on it as I do.

This should be sticky’d

Sad to hear :(

All my best to Mr. Chief.

My childhood hero.
Heartbreaking news for me. [emoji22]

Absolutely this! I hope and pray for him but, I have to say, I am so very glad he got to see Mahomes, Kelce and Hill get that Super Bowl win 50 years later! That is really, really special! God bless Lenny the Cool!

Agreed. This is very sad news indeed. Prayers for a quick, painless and peaceful passing.
