An Ode to Chiefs Fan Fathers

Related Topics: Lin Elliott

When I was a child in the 90s I looked up to my dad as my hero. He was a Chiefs fan. So many times as a child I would watch Chiefs games with him, and I would ask so many questions. He taught me what a holding penalty was, he taught me what pass interference was. He taught me the phrase "Wrong team, right quarterback" while it seemed the Chiefs always came up short.

He was there with me, watching the 95 playoff game on our wooden box Zenith TV with knobs, where Lin Elliot missed three easy field goals to lose against the Colts.
