I’ll make the background short … and get to the point of my post.
I was nine years old when the Chiefs came to Kansas City. Yup … I’m right up there with gblowfish in age and experience. Both my father and I were HUGE football fans and wanted to be a part of this exciting new league.
My dad got us tickets to the very first preseason game played in Municipal Stadium in August of 1963. He and my Mom sat in regular seats … and I was in the end zone as a new member of the Huddle Club in my brand new T-shirt. I remember we played the Buffalo Bills and we won the game … but there was hardly anybody there. There were literally hundreds, if not thousands of empty seats. The Chiefs were just a novelty starting out.
The cool part was as a member of the Huddle Club sitting in the end zone …. They did not use nets at that time for field goals or extra points. You guys should have seen some of the scraps for the football! I got bloodied more than once trying … but sadly never caught one.
My dad purchased season tickets for he and my mom for the regular season in 1963 (and he had them at both Municipal Stadium and later Arrowhead until he passed away in 1991) ... and I had my yearly Huddle Club Membership. Due to school functions and other things … I only averaged 4-5 games a year … but lived and breathed for every game on the radio or TV when I couldn’t go … but I was in attendance for the Longest Game in NFL History on Christmas Day in 1971. (That game HURT REALLY BAD GUYS)
When The Chiefs moved to Arrowhead 1972 … my family shifted their 2 season tickets … but by then I was too old for the Huddle Club … so I only got to go when mom stayed home. In the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s as an adult … I purchased my own season tickets at Arrowhead … but gave them up when they took away smoking in the seating sections. By then, almost all home games were televised so I could party my ass off on game day and not have to worry about getting stopped on the way home anymore.
Like many of you … I LIVE AND BREATHE CHIEFS FOOTBALL! Game days are an EVENT for me … I KNOW every one of you know what I mean!
Over the years I have had occasion to personally know many of the Chiefs players personally … and socialized with some of them on a regular basis. That trend continues today. I could bore you with the “how” and “why” I knew them …. But that’s a follow up story for another day. Rest assured, I am still well connected within the confines of Arrowhead, and I’m proud to call many people who work there my friend.
All that said … I want to get to my point of this post. So buckle up … here we go!
I BELIEVE CLAY IS TELLING US ACCURATE INFORMATION HERE!
I will admit that there is some of it reported out of context … and I will further admit that errors in one detail … can cause doubts about the whole story. This is where you guys weigh in.
I UNDERSTAND your feelings and doubts … and you all want VERIFICATION that people can’t give you to protect their sources … But in this case … I can confirm that the “gist” of Clay’s story is 100% spot on based on people I’ve spoken with and like Clay … I can’t name them for obvious reasons.
In further defense of Clay … This guy is one of the truest Chiefs fans on here. From his game day threads … to his OUTSTANDING videos with Red Tribe Cinema … He lives and breathes the Chiefs just like the rest of us!
Being in radio and television all my life … I can’t begin to describe the time and effort it takes to produce ONE of those videos that we all enjoy. And he does them for us for free!
Is he a bit egotistical … yes … does he like attention … yes … but I think we ALL do the same a little bit in our everyday lives. Has he gone nuts … NO!!! …. We all just have to be patient to see where this story bottoms out.
I should also probably admit here that I HAVE NEVER MET Clay! He is a total stranger to me and could walk up to me to say Hi and I wouldn’t know who the Hell he was
But I thought it was time to weigh in and ask everybody to give this guy a break. He has given many hours of info and entertainment to us … maybe it’s time somebody gave him a break
Once again … I can tell you that MOST OF the story is TRUE! Not all of it! But MOST of it … And this will all come to light very soon from what I’ve been told.
I’ve also read all 1400 posts in this thread … and many of you have hit upon the truth in your own ways and your own means. I wish I could link all the posts that I’m talking about because some of you are pretty good detectives.
But the doubters and haters need to chill and watch what happens next.

Clay is NOT so dumb after all ….
GO CHIEFS!
OK ... I’m ready now … FLAME AWAY!
Are you Clay's PR agent ? Because this is pretty good damage control.:-)
All kidding aside as some have said(and my position as well) the truth lies somewhere in the middle and maybe Clay will be either 2/3rds or even 3/4 quarters right when all said and done.
All I know is that Pat was a totally different player we have never seen before for that long of a stretch in a game which was the whole 2nd half. And I surmised it might have been that debacle right before half that mentally and emotionally he could not let go but then again, Pat has mastered the art of short term memory when it comes to mistakes in a game and it has never really effected him up until this game(granted it was ACCG but Pat has always embraced the BIG STAGE) which is why I had to believe that something else happened in the locker room at halftime. This is why I gave Clay's article some credibility. It made some sense as to Pat's sh****** the bed in the 2nd half. [Reply]
