Who and why?

I have a sports and coaching background. I don’t want to see ANY players get hurt. That said, I’d like to see Rivers have a Joe Theisman-like incredibly grotesque injury. Something where both knees get hyperextended so badly that the tips of his toes are touching his waist.

Lenny " The Cool " Dawson was on the ground . Davidson ran across the field & speared Dawson in the back with his Raiders helmet ! Otis Taylor tackled Davidson , then other Chiefs players showed Davidson how much the Chiefs didnot like this behavior .

That was easy. He never shuts his yapper…

Ben Davidson … DLine with Raiders wayyyyyyyyyyyyy back when … one time he got to Dawson and kind of grabbed Lenny The Cool by the shoulder pads or something, swung him around like a toy doll and deposited our poor QB about 8 yds back down the field … Dawson shrugged it off (and to be honest, I’ve seen a lot more punishing hits over the years) but that one stood out, certainly the melee it caused between all those pad-wearing players pushing each other like it was All Star Wrestling (come on, pads and helmets, they ain’t hurtin’ anyone) but the rivalry, already intense, was secure as a “blood battle” for years afterwards

Because most of the fans today that witnessed the Chiefs-Raiders playoff game which led to the Chiefs appearance in Super Bowl IV, are now gone (and yes, by that I mean dead) I think this should be quantified, into two groups:

All Time…..and Modern Era.

When posed this question, the first that pops into my mind is undoubtedly Ben Davidson, and the second for me is undoubtedly, John Elway.

But I just can’t see a guy of 30 or 35 or so, having the sames picks. I think you have to have lived and witnessed something for it’s recall to inspire emotion.

In short, there is no one over the age of 45, who claims to be a Chiefs fan, who would pick any other player, than Ben Davidson.

It was the seed that he planted, his random act of evil, that planted the kindred spirit of hatred for the Raiders which has been nurtured and watered for the climactic harvest for an entire generation of fans since that infamous day.

If any one on AP hasn’t seen the game referenced above in it’s entirety, I highly recommend that if you get an opportunity to get your hands on a copy, to do so. You’ll never look at the Raiders the same way again, I promise you.

My third pick? The greatest receiver in hated Raiders history. Fred Biletnikoff.

His greatness inspired fear in the masses.

Great post JR. Rec’d.

Can I go coach here? Coached when the biggest Chief rival developed.

Plus, Listen to his MNF games he covered! I find myself saying ‘No Sh**’ over and over and over for every play.

Screw Shannon Sharpe and the inbred horse he rode in on.

During his actual playing days I probably hated Romanowski more. But the Sharpe hate just lingers. He needs to develop some weird affliction where callouses grow on his vocal chords so he can’t talk anymore, thereby removing any chance of him continuing to do Sundays on fox sports.

With my luck, that would happen, then he’d just go get a Stephen Hawking-like mechanical voice relay thing, and I’d have to hear that thing blathering on about the Broncos, still somehow managing to effect that smarmy “please kick my ass”smugness that he does.

I hate Elway. Wish that guy would get a disease or something.

There’s very few players I can’t stand or root against. Rivers is one. Just a weak armed punk. I give him credit for bcoming better than I ever thought he could, but in the playoffs, if you just play his receivers tight and dare him to go long, he doesn’t have the arm for it, and that’s why, along with the Norvelous stiff coaching them, they always disappoint in January.

I had to vote for Romanowski because he has Raider and Bronco in him

I hate that basturd .

I hate that guy. His douche bag attitude combined with his douche bag face is enough to make my blood boil. I cannot wait for Berry to start a long career of terrorizing this douchey primadonna. I had a dream a couple of weeks ago that Berry picked Rivers off twice on MNF. And on the 2rd pick Berry knocked the piss out of Rivers when he tried to tackle him. Put his douche bag body on a stretcher.

Here’s to hoping dreams come true.

The pain from Elway has passed. But I still see Sharpe and have to put up with his diarrhea of the mouth regularly regularly, so he was a close 2nd. Romanowski was 3rd. That dude is just plain insane. ’Roided up maniac is all he was.

I hate John Buck just because he looks like John Elway

Not only was he a Raider AND a Bronco, the guy was flat out the dirtiest player in the game. They took a guy who was easy to hate in the first place and sent him to the two teams we all hate the most! That should equal twice as many votes.

What an absolute horror of a human being. Roid warrior, Bronco and Raider, spitter, cheap shot artist. Didn’t he even seriously injure one of his own teammates? It was good to hear some of the ahem, more mature fans remember Dick head Davidson as my old man called him. I tell you this though, I’d rather have Davidson sleeping with my sister than have Romanowski in a Chief’s uniform.

Guess it’s hard to hate Atwater. That’s understandable. I can’t think of anything he ever did to be dirty to the Chiefs. From what I remember he deserved a lot of respect. He was a smash mouth player and one hell of a safety. From what I remember he was a decent man and a leader for his team. It’s hard to hate the rival players that do nothing but play good against you, and not be ass holes. That hit on Okoye was awesome. I can admit that.

It was a tough choice, but I went with Romanowski because while all the others are “HATED” by Chiefs Fans everywere…they are hated because of their outstanding play against the Chiefs and they did it in a “classy” way.

Romanowski on the other hand was about as dirty of a SoB that I have ever seen play the game. Dude had tallent, but NO class!

ended homes’ career pretty much. thats enough for me

Lin Elliot! I swear he was paid by other teams to suck!

the player that I had utmost respect for that sparked his team to victories over the Chiefs in the last game ever at old Municipal Stadium and in the very first regular season game at Arrowhead stadium — and that was WR Paul Warfield playing with Miami at that time. Poor Emmitt Thomas had a miserable time in both games as Warfield was nightmare for any DB to try and cover one on one.

Warren Wells, the great Raider deep threat mentioned earlier, also had my utmost respect.

at the 1:58 mark.

It was Junior Seau when he was still in Charger-land. It all started during the pregame interview clips before the 92 WC game @ SD where he said " we will win and rejoice" (unfortunately he backed it up), then his fist pump during the 94 AFC Championship game after stopping Pittsburgh after 1-2 yd gain (all my friends just looked at each other thinking, huh?; I know this wasnt against the Chiefs, but helps illustrate my point), and then his cheap shot on Elvis Grbac after he was down for about 2 seconds during a Thursday night game in 97 @ Arrowhead (Grbac took it in on a keeper on that same drive). I mellowed my hate after he left the division, but when he was there….ugh.

They ain’t Chiefs :)

shannon shape he is a real team player one of my all time favs

he did but his teammates loved him on a side note i might had something to do with shape coming back in 2002 on my make a wish trip i wore a 84 jersey with my name on it i gave shanny a hint to bring shrape i met romo too he was great to me but he is a very dirty player

considering what he did to Derrick Thomas.

I loved Elway’s comebacks, but if I recall correctly – he didn’t win many games in Arrowhead Stadium….

but he usually backed it up with his play on the field. In a few cases (Marino comes to mind), he actually apologized for letting his mouth get away from him. But on the field… well, if he got into his opponent’s head, that was on them, imo. He also gave his first SB ring to his brother Sterling, who never had one. So yes, we Bronco fans loved 84 even though his personality was pretty much diametrically opposed to a guy like Tony G or even Rod Smith.

Not so high on his post-career punditry, though, I have to admit.

And I’d take a John Lynch over a Bill Romanowski any day of the week. Liked Romo’s hits, but he’s more than a little bizarre. He was destined to wear silver and black, no question.
