Acknowledgments
As with any creative work, there are many people to thank in the process of taking an idea and turning it into the book you now hold in your hands.
And it must start with the folks at Sagamore Publishing, especially Joe Bannon, Sr. and Joe Bannon, Jr., for their help and willingness to go forward on this project before the Chiefs won a single football game in 1993. Thanks to Susan McKinney for shepherding the book through the publication process. And thanks to Hank Young and Young Company for the great photos.
Over 13 years of hanging around the Chiefs franchise, many people have been especially helpful and ajoy to work with, folks like Marv Levy, Dorothy Levy, Walt and Jane Corey, John and Arlene Mackovic, Les and Joyce Miller, and Kansas City true sporting superstars, George and Chip Toma. They deserve a share of the good stuff that seldom came their way with the Chiefs.
This book would not have been possible without the candor and cooperation of Carl Peterson, Marty Schottenheimer, Tim Connolly, Denny Thum, Lynn Stiles, Terry Bradway, the coaching staff, Mike Davidson, and so many others at Arrowhead Stadium.
As a member of the media, I spend most of my time bothering the folks in the Chiefs public relations department, and a finer group cannot be found in the National Football League. Special thanks to Bob Moore, Jim Carr, Brenda Sniezek, Eileen Normile, Julie Garney, Candy Knabe, and Joel Badzinski. And gratitude towards a host of public relations folks of seasons past whose help is remembered: Bob Sprenger, Doug Kelly, Gary

"Thank you" to all the folks at KCFX-FM and the Chiefs Radio Network, especially the boys in the booth Kevin Harlan, Len Dawson, Bill Grigsby, Jay Copeland, and Dan Israel who make game day so much fun each week. Special thanks to Dan Israel for helping me find the entrance ramp on the "Information Highway."
