I just got done watching the inauguration and I have to say I am very proud of our country and the progress we have made. I want to pay homage to this proud moment in our nation’s history with an AADQ tribute. What is my proudest Chiefs moment? It actually has little to do with the Chiefs, and more to do with we the fans — people of all walks or life. I believe I’ve shared this before, but it’s been a long time. Here’s something I wrote while on FOX Sports Next Great Sportswriter II about two-and-a-half years ago:
Before my bro and I could even pick back up our beers, Chiefs Pro Bowl return specialist Dante Hall had broken the ankles of a few Eagles special teamers and was streaking down the field towards our endzone. When he hit the Eagles’ 30-yard line, we knew he was gone. We were already in the aisles going ballistic. Us, this Mexican dude and “Fred-Ex” (this Chiefs fan the Eagles fans were calling Freddie Mitchell) were celebrating with each other like we had been best friends for 20 years. We were running up and down the aisles slapping hands with other Chiefs fans. I saw a soccer mom high five a NASCAR fan. I saw a middle-aged yuppie embrace an iced-out teen. I saw a 60-year-old man crowd surfing. I ran down the aisle and saw Dante Hall in the endzone doing his patented “X-Factor” celebration while exclaiming “We’re Kansas City, baby!”
He was right, during that moment there were no colors, creeds, religions or sexes that separated the crowd from befriending one another. We were all the exact same thing — Kansas City red.
I’ll be flying back to Texas today, but feel free to use this as an open thread not just for your AADQ responses but all Chiefs-related thoughts.
