I got so bored after the first 4 or 5 years I stopped reading it. Nice stab at it though...............

And "How About Them Cowboys". Never seen a team find so many ways to give games away.

I never saw a team so talented lose so much. But they're on the right track it appears.

Certainly show more than their record indicates, just a few less stupid plays and they can compete.

What do I know, I'm a Bronco ticket holder...............

I like the Broncos OK. But don't tell people here in Mo that. Chiefs fans don't take kindly to that.

Yea, I lived in KC (Overland Park) for 5 years before moving back to SLC, had a tough time dealing with fans of the Chumps, fortunately we were good back then, KC was not.

If I had said I liked the Raiders I imagine he would tar and feather me!

The reason I grew a fondness for the Broncos was because of an old Cowboy named


Dan Reeves. He couldn't win the big one but he was a good coach and didn't get the credit he deserved.

Go Cowboys! 3/8

I've been to a few Chiefs/Raiders games in KC.
Actually there are quite a few Raiders fans in KC, and sometimes there is more "action" in the stands than on the field.

googled '73 corvette engines' and the first couple sites came back with 270hp.

He also left out the 1970 350/350 L46
