This huge game is upon again and I’ve heard from a number of your contemporaries from the glory days. However, we (I) miss your hearing your thoughts on this game and hope you’re able to enjoy it.
Since exiting the booth, I’m glad you’ve been able to reap the benefits of a private life. Kansas City affords that luxury to former superstars.
We met at the first Chiefs Huddle Club that took place in my town. You and Bobby Bell were there. Giants among regular men and boys. Still wish I had the T-shirt. It was worn until it was nothing but a rag. They gave out the “WolfPack” license plates also. Somebody in family probably has that hidden away somewhere.
You signed those little plastic footballs for us all. I played with it until our dog chewed it to pieces. I’ll always remember that day. It was bigger to me than the Super Bowl as I look back on it. Oh, the heroes us little boys have.
Pat Mahomes is a different kind of QB than you were. But damn if he isn’t in sync with this town. When he paid homage to you by wearing that jacket with your image from SBI I couldn’t help but think how fortunate the Chiefs are to have a guy like him leading your team.
I’m hoping we have the chance to see just one “Choir Huddle” when we take the field.
I've been wondering the same thing. We haven't seen or heard from Lenny in some time. I hope he's in good health and just prefers to enjoy his privacy. [Reply]
Len Dawson is perhaps the most underrated Quartback of all time. The guy had THREE seasons with a QB rating over 96.....in the 60s. Simply amazing. [Reply]

I am unaware of any official health issues with Lenny. But not seeing him on the news or seeing him interviewed has made a touch leery. He’s 84 now. [Reply]
