Can we sticky the induction speech once it comes out?
So I am watching the highlight film of DT and Minneapolis decides to drop a couple tornados for the first time in years and my satelite goes out. ....I missed the WHOLE speech. I was pissed! No damage done to my place. All damage was north of me, but FUK!

In Houston in the 1993 playoff game, we were down 10-0 and Willie Davis had just dropped a 50 yard TD pass. Marty that day went to the defense and said over and over: "Keep Grindin'... Just keep grindin'"!!!

Everything I thought it would be.
During the preceding commercial break, ran upstairs to grab my DT home authentic, and decided to lay it on my lap, back up, with that familiar THOMAS 58 facing me instead of putting it on. For whatever reason, it just felt right. For all Carl's failures, he knocked it out of the park. Just perfect. Not ashamed to say, many tears were shed, and I felt as if that light Carl mentioned really had finally come back on. I only wish that Derrick himself had been here in the flesh to enjoy this honor - even though I know he was watching and enjoying from where ever he may be now. RIP, Derrick. I hope you enjoyed this evening as much as every fan, teammate, coach, staff member and family member did. Congratulations. It's well overdue, but you're finally home. |

I also remember that clip from the same game where Marty kept saying to the team, "We've got it figured out. Let's focus now. We've got it figured out." |

I think the Lounge should be renamed for a TBD timeframe to honor Derrick's induction.
Anyone second? |

Derrick Thomas, you helped make Arrowhead Stadium what it is today. You aided in the revitalization of one of the greatest fan bases in all the NFL. You brought an energy to Kansas City autumns and winters I can't put into words. Lastly, you made me the Chiefs fan I am today. Without that loyalty, that passion for something so seemingly simple as a football team, my life would be emptier. I will never leave the Chiefs behind, and I will never forget you.
