1st: Many thanks OPLookn for the article. I took the time to read it all. I like how Jenkins has come to terms with his life. Good for him.
I'm 47 & I also recall when they drafted Trezelle & thought...WTF? He was a reach in the 3rd round. John Alt was a "Mountain Man" as was Dave Lutz. Guys...Do you remember just how good our O/L was back then? We were loaded with Alt, Szott, Grunhard, Lutz & Baldinger!!! NOBODY & I mean nobody had a better OL for so damn long! Hence, why we had such an outstanding rushing attack. Can anyone say "Martyball" Granted...We didn't win a SB, but they were really some good times!
For you young guys that missed the early 90's...It was a wonderful time to be a Chiefs fan!
My worst heartbreak game was in 1990 in the playoffs vs. Miami. We were up 16-3 with like 6+ minutes to go in the 4th. We lost 17-16! I can still see that Nick Lowery 45+ yard (dead-on) kick, only to miss the upright by 6 inches! Dave Szott got called for holding, after Christian Okoye ran it to the 3 yard line (game over @ that point) Thought the Chiefs had it wrapped-up! Geez...Steve DeBerg had the season of this career! 23 TD w/ 4 INT w/ a broken thumb! I'll go to my grave thinking about that 1990 season!
