Super Bowl LIV Reaction

Finally!!!!...Super Bowl Champs! Yes! I was born in July 1984, and as a student of history in general, I have an appreciation for that which came before me like I lived it. Followed football since I was 6. So being a sports fan, and growing up during the nineties and 1st decade of the 2000s. The Chiefs in the nineties were the winningest team of the decade under Marty Schottenheimer, but couldn’t do anything in the playoffs (all defense and no offense), after, Gunther Cunningham took over. That was abysmal, but I always liked him as the defensive coordinator. In the very early 2000s, Dick Vermeil took over (all offense, and seriously I think defense was outlawed). After that the Kansas City Chiefs were an insult to the sport of football as a whole. Oh my God! The Scott Pioli/Todd Haley/Matt Cassel years. I have no desire to drink, smoke, or do drugs of any kind, but those 3, had I been a lesser willed man, would’ve certainly drove me to it. Haha. Worst team in the league at one point. 1-15. Number 1 overall draft pick the next year (2012), which is our current left tackle’s draft year because we obtained Andy Reid as coach, and he drafted Eric Fisher as his 1st draft pick. 7 years later my rabid fandom, and watching football constantly because I treat it like a job, has finally paid off! #SBLIV

Happy Martin Luther King Day!

 

Today is the 3^rd Monday in January, and has since 1986 been observed as a federal holiday in the United States of America after the actual legislation passed in 1983. Under the Uniform Holidays Act, Martin Luther King’s birthday was finally recognized as a federal holiday. Even though, he was actually born on January 15, 1929. The day is a day used to honor, commemorate, and celebrate Dr. King’s legacy, and accomplishments. The famed Reverend, and Civil Rights leader, who led peaceful protests since the 1950s up until his assassination in 1968, for the equality and basic civil rights for Americans of brown skinned, and black skinned African descent, that are supposed to be guaranteed to all Americans of every race, creed, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, and physical stature under the Declaration of Independence, and United States Constitution. Some of his accomplishments of significance to name a few: organizing the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955, the marches beginning in Selma, Alabama, and ending in Montgomery, Alabama between March 7th-March 25th, 1965. And most significantly, the famous “I Have a Dream” speech in front of the Great Emancipator-and-Chief Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC on August 28th, 1963.
