Billy Martin would get drunk and kill himself when he flipped his car in his front yard the next day. (NBC News actually scrolled that while airing the Sound of Music.)
Also, on that Christmas Day, Romanian Citizens revolted (eastern European governments were all falling at that time) finding the country's leader and his wife and killing them both. Pictures of both of them lying dead were on all the newscasts. Like this year, the Chiefs needed 3 or 4 things to happen for them to make the playoffs. All of them did except Tampa Bay beating Pittsburgh. Those are my memories of Christmas Eve\Day 1989. |

Ah, December of 1989. 1989 was a rough year for me on a number of fronts, probably one of the two toughest years of my life. Toward the end of the year I practiced the time-honored art of fleeing my problems and went to India. I wandered around India and Nepal for a few weeks, saw some amazing things, and tried to find newspapers to give me the results of the Chiefs games and Christian Okoye's running exploits. I got back sometime in mid-December and saw him lead the league in rushing, and I had a good feeling about that rookie linebacker. The Chiefs finished above .500, which was not common in those days, and life started looking up again.

He could have thrown an interception what an idiot.

If John Alt/David Szott hadn't held on that 3rd Down run Lowry would have made the field goal . If memory serves me.correctly that GW FG was about a nut hair shy of hitting the crossbar. 10 yards would have made all the difference in the world.

Had Nick the Dick not missed two easy field goals, the Chiefs would have made the playoffs in 1989. |

Joe Namath should come back as a color guy. He was so great I wanted to kiss him.

With the holding call, it was a 42 yard field goal. Lowery missed it. If Santos missed a 42 yard, FTW kick, that would advance the Chiefs in the playoffs, he'd be run out of town in a rail. Yet Lowery, for whatever reason, got a pass. To this day, I don't understand why. |
