I have mentioned here before than before the merger KC was my favorite team in the old AFL.... by the time of the merger I didn't really care about KC anymore BUT... I disliked Green Bay... so in that first SB I was all in for Kansas City.
Also of note, (to me anyway)... and I only discovered this next information thru the internet.... I live in a very, VERY, rural area. Football, even during that first SB, was NOT supported by anyone near me... baseball was King. I swear to you.... when the first SB took places I did not know a single other person anywhere NEAR me that even knew it was taking place. I thought the whole USA was like that... the NFL was a 'side note'.
But then with the Internet I found fans that were as avid as me during that era, AND BEFORE. Waterfield's reports about those days stunned me... from my rural country abode I had NO IDEA football was a big deal to ANYONE other than me. I was wrong, obviously.
So... no reason to mention all that, I suppose... just fun for ME to remember back. Loved those days. - JamesJM
