For the Chiefs fan, Kansas City’s fountains may be of youth.

I grew up in Kansas City. My family huddled around the tv watching the Chiefs play. I was in grade school when they won the Super Bowl with quarterback Len Dawson. Something registers when that happens. It’s in the air you breathe. Like sauce on ribs. Fast forward to when the Chiefs brought in Joe Montana. Arrowhead was loud and fun to go to for those games and living there then was okay for keeping faith.

In the past few years it’s been a more of a creed to watch on tv what Patrick McHomes has brought to the Chiefs. He loves throwing a football to the point that something magical happens on the field.

The players later testify to it. The tv replays it. The Chiefs fan’s heart knows it. He brings a joy to football that anyone who has played even one game of backyard football has relived in their youth.

I think Kansas City may have finally bottled some magic and poured it over its fountains making the Chiefs red a true fountain of youth.

There are much bigger football fans than me. My husband for instance. He is a supply chain guy. He knows what it takes to move a product down the line. He also played football in junior high. So can you imagine watching the Chiefs with him? He positions, directs, calls the play, and yells when it’s not going in the right direction. “Get the ball down the field” on Sunday is his “Get the product to the customer” during the week talk to his team. I pray success in both instances.

Many of us have team credence. Whether you grew up in an area or adopted a team along the way, Super Bowl Sunday is upon us. I invite you to join in. “If you haven’t got on board…” like my husband says, “There’s plenty of room on our team.” I like that gospel. It makes Sunday morning church the message we take to Sunday afternoon and any team we watch and cheer for”.

Go Chiefs!

Our dog joined the Chiefs huddle in the Mahomes era and will be dearly missed.
