The Chiefs played the Dolphins in the Divisional playoffs losing 27-24 in double overtime. The game is the longest ever played in NFL history at 82 minutes and 40 seconds. The Dolphins went on to lose the Super Bowl to the Cowboys. Coincidentally enough the first regular season game played at Arrowhead Stadium the following September was also against the Dolphins. It was win number one of the Dolphins 17-0 1972 season.

The two MLB teams that played at Municipal Stadium were the Kansas City Athletics who moved to Kansas City from Philadelphia and now reside in Oakland. The Royals Played in Municipal Stadium after the Athletics left and before the Harry S. Truman sports complex was completed in 1972.

I was undrafted.
I changed positions from college to the NFL.
I was voted to Pro Bowl, but a injury kept me out.
I have scored 2 TD's in my career.
Who am I?

Any idea what part of KC that stadium was in burn? I don't think it's still standing though I could be wrong. Looks like the Prospect area a bit....not a nice place!

22nd Street & Brooklyn Ave. Not far from Arthur Bryants. It was demolished in 1976. I have never been to that spot. But from what I understand it is a poor neighborhood. The site was a community garden for years. I think it is now the site of a housing project.

I have driven through the hood in KC on Sunday morninings on the way to Arrowhead. Shortcut from Lenexa according to my cousin. I tell you, up here in Canada we have no idea what poverty is. It is actually surprising how run down and poor some neighborhoods are.

Yep, 4 blocks west of Prospect.

I work in the hood in Wichita. It's bad enough, but there is NOTHING like that here. That Prospect neighborhood is as bad as it gets in this country.

Which is interesting. I have never seen a worse neighborhood in my life then the one on the opposite side of the interstate from Arrowhead. Crawling along in traffic after a game you get a good look at it. On the flip side I have never seen nicer neighborhoods than Overland Park.

Yeah, not sure if it's still the case, but at one time Johnson County, KS was the most affluent in the nation.

Well since Flames in 07 seems to be MIA. I'll get the ball rolling again.

The picture below is of the uniform we wore in our inaugural season.
Who am I?

I'm pretty sure that's the 1960 Denver Broncos in their "seal brown and light gold" togs. I think the brown wristbands really tie the whole thing together.

Wow! I thought that would be a tougher one. You are correct sir.

Here goes...

I tried to double check this for accuracy and couldn't find a clear answer...

I'm the only player to make the Pro Bowl at all three Offensive Line positions (C, G, T) during my career
