Victor Wishna
Victor Wishna only exists because his mother made the impossible decision to leave the 1971 double-overtime AFC divisional playoff between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins (still the longest game in NFL history) to go on a date with his father. As a result, he owes the Chiefs (and his parents) his lifelong love and support. A writer, editor, and author, among other things, Victor is glad to be back in his hometown after more than a decade living and working in New York. And he is proud to be writing for Arrowhead Addict, giving his take on Chiefs-related topics from a wider, occasionally tongue-in-cheek perspective. See more at thevitalword.com.
