Rest In Peace Len Dawson.

[imanamerican63]

Dawson was a HOF QB for the Kansas City Chiefs in the 60’s. He was 87. He had some knowledge with politics too! A few years back, in an interview on a local KC radio station, he called out Josh Hawley for Hawley’s position on political issues! And if I’m not mistaking, Claire McClaskill and Dawson knew each other pretty well?

No, I have recording of the interview, sorry. The interview was 3 1/2 years before Dawson’s health started to really get bad. He was an awesome person too. Never heard any negative comments about him.

1. RIP. He was a Super Bowl winner too in the early days...

of the merger of the NFL and AFL. I can't remember if he and the Chiefs beat the NFC first or if Joe Namath and the Jets did.

2. Joe Namath and the Jets did - January '69.

RIP Len Dawson.

6. And then Dawson and the Chiefs beat my Vikings in 1970,

the last of the NFL-AFL Super Bowls.

“65 Toss Power Trap. It just might pop wide open Rats.”

I still fucking hate Hank Stram.

3. As a kid that's a name I remember, along with George Blanda and Jack Kemp. The old AFL would

come on late Sunday afternoon.

4. They showed a photo of him on news tonight

sitting on the sideline bench at Super Bowl One smoking a cigarette

It wasn’t out of place back then.

5. Lenny was a handsome cat when he was young.

I watched him do local sports for years. Damn decent guy.
