Absolutely. This is where the last piece of the old puzzle had to fall. I find it very fitting that we have a GM and a Head Coach who are as full-on about the tradition of Arrowhead, and the tradition of great football as ourselves.

There's more than just careers at play here. These are guys who despite their own success outside of KC, saw something very exciting to them when they came to play against us.

We're a special place that people who love football love to come to.

Shit, I missed DT's induction. I'm sure they'll be a replay though on NFL Network.

Marty rarely showed any emotion while coaching but everyone could see tonight he had plenty. I'm reminded of his favorite phrase. "You gotta just keep choppin' wood. He was a great motivator.

In Houston in the 1993 playoff game, we were down 10-0 and Willie Davis had just dropped a 50 yard TD pass. Marty that day went to the defense and said over and over: "Keep Grindin'... Just keep grindin'"!!!

I also remember that clip from the same game where Marty kept saying to the team, "We've got it figured out. Let's focus now. We've got it figured out."

Even though they never won a championship we really were lucky to have those guys.

A great night and some football finally tomorrow

Wow, I can't believe I'm seeing all the loving comments for CP, Marty, Neil Smith, etc on this board! Could the ravages of time also bring similar love to Herm?? :-)

I'll praise Herm when he becomes Arrowhead's first male cheerleader. Not before.

Can't be the first...the Chiefs used to have male cheerleaders...dumbest idea ever

Can we sticky the induction speech once it comes out?

So I am watching the highlight film of DT and Minneapolis decides to drop a couple tornados for the first time in years and my satelite goes out.

....I missed the WHOLE speech. I was pissed!

No damage done to my place. All damage was north of me, but FUK! :-)
[Reply]

It's a great speech. A tear jerker.

Gonna start capping the DT parts now. I'll have em up for viewing tomorrow.

Everything I thought it would be.

During the preceding commercial break, ran upstairs to grab my DT home authentic, and decided to lay it on my lap, back up, with that familiar THOMAS 58 facing me instead of putting it on. For whatever reason, it just felt right.

For all Carl's failures, he knocked it out of the park. Just perfect.

Not ashamed to say, many tears were shed, and I felt as if that light Carl mentioned really had finally come back on. I only wish that Derrick himself had been here in the flesh to enjoy this honor - even though I know he was watching and enjoying from where ever he may be now.

RIP, Derrick. I hope you enjoyed this evening as much as every fan, teammate, coach, staff member and family member did.

Congratulations. It's well overdue, but you're finally home.
