Well, u don't need George. I am old enough to remember. When I was 5 years old Jim Tyrer used to live across the street, and Fred Arbanas lived one block away. Jan Stenerud was a patient of my Dad's as well as Vince Costellio, who was the MLB for the Browns during the Jim Brown Era and was the Chiefs d-coordinator in the late 70s.

My father's medical office was also in the same building as Chiefs team doctor Jon Browne in the late 80s and through the 90s.

I've been a Chiefs fan forever.

The biggest reason the Chiefs failed in the 80s can be summed up in two words: Jim Schaaf.

He was the GM after Jack Steadman and kept the job until Carl Petersrn came in 1989. Schaaf was terrible. Just look at the drafts.

Not only did they blow the Blackledge pick (over Jim Kelly and Dan Marino, Marv Levy wanted a mobile qb and Schaaf took Steve Fuller over Joe Montana (who was quite mobile when young and had just won a national title at Notre Dame). Teams passed on Montana bc he didn't have ideal size and had a mediocre arm.
