And now, back to Sports...
Before I start gloating, I think we'll avoid touching on the fact that my home football team is also one of those considered to be politically incorrect in the naming department (although their name derives from former Kansas City Mayor H. Roe Bartle, who was affectionately called "Chief" because he was the founder of the Tribe of Mic-O-Say, a sort of honor society amongst our local Boy Scouts...an honor society which uses Native American traditions in their practices). We do the tomahawk chop here, and have a lot of Native American motifs (hell, our stadium is named "Arrowhead", for crying out loud), possibly to our dishonor.
However, that doesn't change the fact that we are 5-0 after today's squeaker defeat of the Denver Donkeys, again thanks to a circus performance runback of a punt by Dante Hall...the incredible, NFL record-setting, peforming a feat never before performed by an NFL player, Dante Hall.
Our offense sputtered a bit once again, but our D stood tall when it counted. The Donkeys had a lot of luck, recovering a lot of fumbles that could easily have been lost, and Jake the Snake had a good game, as did Shannon Sharpe, but in the end, KC wins the battle of the AFC West undefeateds, and stands alone atop our division!
Woo Hoo?! Can I get a Woo Hoo!???
