My wife is getting her master’s degree in nursing and she chose Purdue University. When i heard, I said, “Awesome! You’ll be a BoilerMaker just like Lenny Dawson!” She got a look on her face and started to say something (undoubtedly “who?”) and I just said, “The 2nd best KC QB ever. Lenny the cool. Just nod and say, ‘cool’.” She did. And so now she and Lenny the Cool have something in common, although I don’t think she puts as much weight on it as I do.

She take any engineering or physics there as part of her science curriculum?

One of the 3-5 smartest people I've known in my life . . . He was the son of our HS chemistry teacher.

It breaks my heart to hear about Len Dawson going into hospice. We spent a lot of time together traveling with and covering the Chiefs. He's one of the nicest guys ever. No pretensions and was never without that smile.
He was always, "Lenny the cool!!" pic.twitter.com/Ji17ZAwzwq

I've listened to most Chief games on the radio for decades. I really wish I could have listened to Lenny during Pat's SB winning year.

I’m with you. Used to rig up an online audio feed from radio through my home stereo and pause the satellite feed to sync the audio with TV and listen to Lenny and Mitch. It was awesome.

This reminds me of , and wondering how the real Steve Deburg is doing now. I became a fan with him and the Nigerian nightmare.

Sad news, indeed.

Each year, more and more of the AFL legends depart this mortal coil to suit up on the heavenly gridiron. The depth chart up there is deep.

God bless Dawson and his family.

He had a good long, cool life.

Got to be on top of the world and see them do it again in his lifetime and was a living legend in the area.
