Who says the new Kansas City Chiefs regime doesn't want former players around? This Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys will be a continuation of the club's 40th anniversary of Super Bowl IV and the 50th anniversary of the AFL. Bob Gretz has the scoop on all the events planned.

The coolest one? Len Dawson will carry the Super Bowl trophy out to mid-field. He'll be joined by Chief greats:

Bobby Bell, Willie Lanier, Jan Stenerud, Fred Arbanas, Ceasar Belser, Ed Budde, Chuck Hurston, Jim Kearney, Ed Lothamer, Curtis McClinton, Ed Podolak and Noland Smith.

That's not all. Other special events include:

Priest Holmes' retirement celebration
A fly-over
Roger Goodell and former Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil will be in attendance
Nick Lowery will be inducted into the Chiefs Hall of Fame

Other folks that will be in attendance:

Tony Adams, Derrick Alexander, Kimble Anders, Gary Barbaro, Bryan Barker, Mike Bell, Chris Burford, Keith Cash, Deron Cherry, Walt Corey, Jerry Cornelison, Anthony Davis, Charlie Diamond, Kendall Gammon, Charlie Getty, Kelly Goodburn, Tim Grunhard, Abner Haynes, Danan Hughes, Eddie Kennison, Ken Kremer, Bill Krisher, Pete Koch, Dave Lindstrom, Larry Marshall, Chris Martin, Ted McKnight, Christian Okoye, Bobby Ply, Scott Radecic, Kerry Reardon, Al Reynolds, Dan Saleaumua, Neil Smith, Gary Spani, Marcus Spears, Art Still, Smokey Stover and Walter White.

Thanks to Bob Gretz for the information. Click the link for more.

So, yeah, if you were going to attend one game this season, make it this one. You're definitely getting the most bang for your buck.

WOW!!!!!

They BETTER win this fucking game!!!! Seriously, if having all those people watching and seeing Lenny the cool carrying out the Lombardi trophy doesnt make these guys play with reckless abandon, nothing will.

Prepare to die Cowbitches!!!!

Damn, I wish I was going!

I Actually Think There's A Chance They Could

It’s a small chance, though, because Dallas has a pretty good o-line (and we don’t have a very good defense). But they’re reeling right now and the Chiefs have a chance to capitalize and steal a win.

On the other hand, I could also see this being a huge blowout.

Predictions for 2009

1. Todd Haley's going to struggle with managing his staff in his rookie year as head coach.
6. The Chiefs will go 7-9 in 2009, good for 2nd in the AFC West. Revision: We go 5-11 and finish behind Oakland.
7. Ryan Succop will not perform better in 2009 than Connor Barth did in 2008.
8. The Chiefs will have a bottom 10 defense this year.
9. RB will be a problem area this season on offense.

Yep.

But Dallas looks like a mediocre team (12 ‘n’ 12 in their last 24 games, if Kirwan got it right), masquerading as a dynasty. Romo could still beat the Chiefs team that faced Flacco, because he can buy time with his feet and has a pretty good arm. He’s just been pretty erratic of late, and out of synch with his receivers.

Chiefs have a definite shot at this one. If the highly touted ball skills of our DBs will FINALLY manifest in a regular season game, there will be opportunities for turnovers off of Romo miscues. And who knows what the KC offense will bring. There’s a lot happening there that looks within a whisker of actually working, and when (OK, IF) it starts clicking, it will be less fettered than the offense of the last few years.

No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.

Thanks Joel

For a season ticket holder stuck in the Middle East (who had this game marked as the one to come to when the schedule released) this one stung

So, yeah, if you were going to attend one game this season, make it this one. You’re definitely getting the most bang for your buck.

Predictions for 2009:

LJ runs for 1800 yards
Bowe in the pro bowl
Chiefs D finishes in the top 10 in points allowed
Chiefs 10-6

Off topic but...

Does anyone have a map of where the game will be shown? I remember reading 40% of the country will see the game, so I hope Florida is in that group.

M.Cassel, L. Johnson and company should

be ready to get after it for this game to show that Kansas City is still a great football city to the rest of the nation. Chiefs greats of the past and fans are all looking at this game as a hopeful turning point. Winning can be a very powerful thing for a team like our Kansas City Chiefs.
