machine gun kelly Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Some great memories of Insode the NFL in the 80’s. I’m not old enough to ever see him play. I hope he passed peacefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) I remember for Super Bowl 50 (if I am remembering correctly) all 50 SB MVPs were there...and they are starting to slip away. Times passes and things change. We say good-bye to these childhood heroes and as much as we morn them we morn the passing of our youth, as well. RIP, Lenny.

Back in the AFL days, I remember a black & white photo of the Chiefs lockeroom at half time with Lenny standing there smoking a cigarrett listening to Hank Stram. Might as well be casual about things, I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was a huge part of my sports viewing life growing up on Inside the NFL. Sad day news. Thoughts for him and his family When he won the AFL vs. NFL 4th SB he was a hero. Great team leader.

That photo is actually from halftime of SB IV. (or 1...not sure, but it's one of them) I grew up watching him on inside the NFL....I could NOT miss that show. Notable, that in Todays NFL...it would be hard to produce another Len Dawson...great athlete, but got stuck behind at the back end of the depth chart in Pittsburg and Clevleland before getting a shot in KC. Todays CAP and rookie scale make it so much less likely. Makes me wonder a bit how many guys might be out there...maybe stuck on a bench or discarded too early because the scenario is just not the same now. Anyhow. RIP to Kansas City's first football hero. He'll be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Video tribute to Dawson in last nights Chiefs game. Do recall they always had the unique huddle, thought that was more Hank Stramm driven thing though?? https://www.si.com/nfl/2022/08/26/patrick-mahomes-chiefs-penalty-pay-tribute-len-dawson-during-game-video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
