Mellinger Minutes: Chiefs postmortum, Alex Smith, Royals’ offseason and frozen lasagna

This is probably too soon, and you might not want to hear this, but I’m going to remember the 2016 fondly.

This was the most entertaining Chiefs team of my lifetime. The greatest comeback in franchise history, Hungry Pig Right, Hungry Pig Flight, Marcus Peters’ strip-and-punt, Tyreek Hill turning into a cheat code, Eric Berry’s relentlessness, Chris Jones dancing during timeouts, the game in Denver, the game in Atlanta, on and on.

This team gave more terrific moments than most. The season ends in disappointment for everyone involved except one team, and if you can’t take some joy from the journey, then what’s the point?
