Overview
Beginning with their founding as the Dallas Texans of the American Football League in 1960, the Kansas City Chiefs have been one of professional footballās most storied franchises. In Tales from the Kansas City Chiefs Sideline, veteran sportswriter Bob Gretz brings the teamās rich history to life.
Gretz begins with the Chiefsā visionary, 27-year-old owner Lamar Hunt, who founded not only a team but an entire league. After the Texans won the AFL championship in 1962, Hunt moved the team out of his hometown to Kansas City. Two Super Bowl appearances as the representative of the AFL culminated in a Chiefsā championship in 1970, despite being a double-digit underdog to the Minnesota Vikings. It would be the final game featuring an AFL team, as the Chiefs and nine other teams merged with the NFL. Gretz covers the battles leading up to the merger along with the high and low points in team historyāthe lean years (1972ā88); the āCarl and Martyā era, when the team made the play-offs in six consecutive seasons; the āJoe and Marcusā show of 1993; the dismal 2008 season; and the teamās 2013 renewal under Andy Reid and John Dorsey.
