Arrowhead Field is heated, and Mahomes beat the Colts with 6 inches of snow on the ground last week. Chiefs all the way. This should be their year.
The Chiefs were founded by Lamar Hunt, who moved his Dallas Texans to Kansas City in 1963, after the NFL gave a Dallas franchise to Clint Murchinson instead of him. That franchise became the Dallas Cowboys. The Dallas Texans subsequently became the KC Chiefs.
Lamar Hunt was the son of H. L. Hunt, at one time considered the wealthiest man in America, and an inspiration for “J. R. Ewing” of “Dallas” television fame. When informed that Lamar’s Dallas Texans had lost $1 million in their first year, H. L. commented, “At that rate, they’ll only last another 100 years.”
