The Wrap – Super Bowl Sunday

With the Super Bowl over it is time for depression, sadness, and loneliness to creep in because football officially ended. The NBA doesn’t take football’s place. NASCAR? Nope. Baseball? Heck no. They are just placeholders until the next football season.

I guess now is a good time to do those chores around the house that I have been putting off.

Super Bowl XLVII was a good game with the Baltimore Ravens winning 34-31 over the San Francisco 49ers. In a few years it will be remembered as the Super Bowl where the lights went out. The Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, left a lasting impression. It was like someone forgot to pay the power bill.

The pre-game show from CBS was pretty good. It was a little awkward when Dan Marino was on camera since he was found to have kept a “love child” he fathered with a fellow CBS employee from his bosses at CBS for several years. Why wasn’t he fired?

K.C. Chiefs: Dawson to Taylor…Touchdown!

“Quarterback Len Dawson hits Otis Taylor on a short pass, and Taylor turns it up field and scores from 46 yards out.”

That play sealed the victory for the Kansas City Chiefs who beat the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IV, 23-7, and that was the last touchdown scored in a Super Bowl for the Kansas City Chiefs. That game was played on January 11, 1970.

Today, Len Dawson is 77 years-old. Otis Taylor is 70.

As a kid growing up in rural Missouri not far from Kansas City, I completed that pass several times in my backyard (with my homemade Lenny Dawson jersey on). I have never ever strayed from the Chiefs being my favorite team, although it’s been tough lately.

This year the Chiefs are struggling with a 1-9 record. Their head coach (Romeo Crennel) had a losing record before he arrived in KC, and the General Manager (Scott Pioli) seems like he is in over his head. The owner (Clark Hunt) seems disinterested.

Chiefs’ fans are angry, so much so that a “Save Our Chiefs” group was created with a Facebook page that has 14,730 “Likes” and they say they are “dedicated to changing the culture at Arrowhead and returning a winning team to Kansas City.” Their Twitter account has an astonishing 80,697 followers. Oh, and planes fly over Arrowhead on game day with banners saying, “Restore Hope – Fire Pioli – SaveOurChiefs.com.”   Continue reading →

In today’s column I break down all of Super Bowl Sunday from the pre-game shows to the commercials. Enjoy! Continue reading →
