You played a terrific game. Congratulations!!

Chiefs just won the AFC Championship and will face the Eagles in the Super Bowl two weeks from today.  It is the first time -- ever -- a team has tone to the Super Bowl five times in six years. The Chiefs are amazing. In fact, the Chiefs will be the first team in position to even try for a three-peat. 

Chiefs fans are still basking in the memory of  Sunday's thrilling overtime win.    Perhaps that is why the NFL, which to my recollection has never before emailed me, sent an invitation to make a deposit  on tickets for next year's Super Bowl LIX (59) just hours after the Super Bowl 58 concluded, There reasons to be sentimental about a New Orleans Super Bowl for Chiefs fans. It was the site of our first world championship after losing to Green Bay in Super Bowl I. My parents attended Super Bowl IV while my then-girlfriend came over the house to watch because I had to babysit my younger sisters 🙃.    Keep Matriculating the Ball Down the Field Boys! That was the game where Chiefs Coach Hank Stram was wired for sound by NFL Films. If you like football and have never seen the above clip, I urge you to watch.  In homage to Hank, current Chiefs Coach Andy Reid wore the same style sport coat on his way into the stadium Sunday.  Instead of "65 Toss Pow...

It is a good thing the four members of the Mahomes family are being treated to Disneyland by virtue of winning the Super Bowl! Given that it costs $1,000/day , Otherwise, I don't know if they would be able to afford it!!😉😀

Whew! Between the Chiefs and tornado coverage, what a day!! As I write this, there is still a tornado warning in Louisiana but I didn't want to wait any longer to write about the amazing Chiefs. Congratulations to Chiefs Kingdom!! Nice guys finish first! Between the Chiefs victory and covering storms on Twitter (do you follow me @usweatherexpert  ?), I may be up all night! P.S. Hardman didn't realize he had won the game until Mahomes told him . 

Jan Stenerud, the Chiefs' legendary kicker -- who played in the 1971  Christmas Day game --presents the Lamar Hunt Trophy after the Chiefs won the AFC Championship last Sunday Photo: CBS Sports Today is a day Chiefs fans never thought would  never occur.  The Kansas City Star  has a touching article about the generations of utter frustration of being a Chiefs fan in the years from Christmas Day 1971, when we lost the longest game in NFL history to the Dolphins, to the Patrick Mahomes era.  What the location of Kansas City's old Municipal Stadium  looks like today. Famous Arthur Bryant's bar-b-que is five blocks  north on Brooklyn. Six years ago, when we saw Mahomes start against Denver in place of then-starting QB Alex Smith (a great man, who never got enough credit), we knew something special was about to occur. But, we would never have dreamed we would make the Super Bowl four out of the next five years.  Chiefs fans do not take this lightly....

While preliminary, it might be snowy in parts of the central and/or southern Great Plains Sunday. I'll have much more on that tomorrow.
