50 years ago today

[WilliamTheIrish]

“65 Toss Power Trap” became the most famous words in franchise history.

Otis Taylor broke Earsoll Macbee’s shoulder and high stepped into the end zone to clinch it.

Hank Stram being “Mic’ed Up” became some of the greatest audio in NFL history.


The journey for 2 starts tomorrow.

Let’s go get it, lads.

I want to be alive for the greatest run in Chiefs history.

We ALL need this.

Have fun storming the castle!


P.S. "Earsell Mackbee" is how his name was spelled, I believe.

You’re correct. From memory I thought for sure I was correct. Time seems to do that to a memory.

Either way, he was no match for Otis Taylor down the sideline.

Just not enough guys named "Earsell."

I want Hank Stram's laugh as my ringtone after we win the SB.

I remember when 50 years ago seemed like a long time...then I turned 49 in December of 2019...the Chiefs have never been to the SB in my lifetime...and damn, that means for me it has never happened.

THIS. MUST. BE. THE. YEAR...

I was eight years old for Super Bowl I and remember watching it with my dad. I clearly remember the day of Super Bowl IV. It was a real cold day like today with snow on the ground here in KC. I watched the game with my dad, and he was whooping and hollering afterwards because he was so happy. I went down to the lake at the end of our street and played hockey with some of the neighborhood kids, and we were all excited that the Chiefs won. Then came the playoff loss to Miami in 71 and it all went dark for a long long long time. My dad passed a week after the 2011 loss to Baltimore in the playoffs at Arrowhead. He never got to see them in the Super Bowl again.

We got close last year. Sure hope this year is our year. I'm 60 now. Don't have another 50 years to get this close again.

My dad also passed in 2011. He'd have been 73 this year. I'm 36 but I remember those 90s teams and man we thought KNEW it was going to be our year, every year. I wish he could be around for the Mahomes era

Watched it on a B/W TV with my Mom and Uncle.

Watched Super Bowl I in color because my dad loved Bonanza & had to watch it in color. Kinda funny to think of nowadays.

I remember watching Super Bowl I on the kitchen floor while the adults were all hanging out in the front room. My mom didn’t want us kids exposed to adult beverages & cuss words(like we couldn’t see or hear them anyway).
