I liked the Jets, because they were, ya know Jets. I was an airplane fanatic and my dad was USAF, so it seemed natural. I watched a lot of football that season and still liked the Jets until Super Bowl IV, when KC became my team. If it weren't for Hank Stram I might now be a Jets fan. God bless Hank. That's funny... I became a Chiefs fan in '68. Got one of those vibrating football boards for Christmas... came with the Chiefs and the Jets. My dad hated Namath's bigmouth boisterousness since his days at Bama... so of course I set up the Chiefs players... #16... #89 etc. Started following them at that time, and got to enjoy their SB win a few years later. Of course we didn't get them on TV... had to watch highlights on NFL Films with John Facenda narrating. Good times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed those as much as the games. I got one of those football games for Christmas one year and wore it out. If the RB was making progress somewhere in the general direction of the goal line you were having a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetlord 10,209 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Saw a post somewhere that pointed out that Burrows has won a number of away playoff games and Mahomes has never won even one. Thus, Burrows has a much better future ahead of him. The poster failed to point out that Mahomes has never had an away playoff game. Maybe if one counts SBs where he lost one, but it shows how stats can be twisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
