Like I mentioned, it's a good thing Len Dawson didn't try to squeeze onto the dais after our Super Bowls. That wouldda sucked.
Is this serious?

That was one of the most hilarious moments in KC history, and every Chiefs fan views it as such. Watching a disgruntled Elway (who accepted the gig because he thought he'd be handing the trophy to SF) force a smile while presenting a Lombardi to his most hated franchise was priceless.

A lot of us haven't lived 5 decades, much less have detailed memories of games from that long ago.

You realize that Denver fans went through 4 decades of angst before breaking through, right? They sucked majorly for their first two decades, and then spent a couple decades rotating between being the AFC's sacrificial lamb in the SB, losing in excruciating fashion like '96, or missing the playoffs altogether. Then you experience glory for two years and Horseface rides off into the sunset. Back you went to mediocrity until a short window of success with HGH guy.

9 playoff appearances in the last 25 years. Average score in your playoff losses in that span: 37-15, including a 43-8 gut punch in Super Bowl 48. And now 8 years without a postseason appearance and 7 straight losing seasons.

Seems to me there have been a lot of moments of angst throughout your history.

I think the key takeaway from our histories is this: KC started out great and has returned to greatness. Denver, the opposite. Order restored!
