This week’s edition of Chiefs Chatter looks at the story of how I became of a Chiefs fan, and is complete with reader input, trivia and great facts!

It seems so appropriate to write this so close to Father’s Day. I’ve just spent my 10th Father’s Day without my dad (who passed away in 2010) and my 8th as a father myself. I’m proud to be passing down my dad’s fandom to my daughter, and I know that she understands why the team means so much to me.
