leader in the ’90s, he was the face of...

“In my over 35-year association with professional football, I have witnessed many memorable performances. But I have not witnessed a more dominating defensive performer than Derrick Thomas. It is on rare occasion when a defensive player dictates that his opponent know where he is aligned on every snap of every game. During the 10 years that I coached Derrick, he was everything a coach or teammate could ask for. He was a fiercely competitive player who gave his team the opportunity to win by his individual performance down after down.”

- Former Chiefs head coach Marty Schottenheimer

With his blinding first step, legendary speed

off the edge and a patented sack-and-strip

maneuver that led to many of his

franchise-record 45 forced fumbles, LB

Derrick Thomas wasn’t merely the NFL sack

leader in the ’90s, he was the face of a

revived Chiefs franchise that awoke from its

dormancy to a new era of hope and

prosperity. “Derrick was a player who could

dominate a game,” said Broncos Hall of

Fame QB John Elway. “His explosive talents

were so great that he could dictate to an

offense pass and run-blocking schemes, as

well as the plays that were called.” Thomas

compiled a franchise-high 126.5 career

sacks, earned a spot on the NFL’s

All-Decade Team of the ’90s and set the NFL

single-game sack record with 7.0 QB

takedowns vs. Seattle (11/11/90). The

highest praise for Thomas may have come

from his hero, legendary N.Y. Giants LB

Lawrence Taylor. “Derrick is a great

linebacker,” said Taylor. “He is a game

breaker, the guy an opposing quarterback

always has to be aware of. He’s going to be

considered one of the best when his playing

days are over.” Those days ended too soon.

Thomas was severely injured in a car

accident on January 23, 2000. Thomas died

in his hometown of Miami, Florida on

February 8, 2000.

- After the AFL-NFL merger was announced in June of 1966, Commissioner Pete Rozelle appointed a committee consisting of himself, Lamar Hunt (Kansas City), Tex Schramm (Dallas) and two other owners from each league (AFL & NFL) to firm up the details of the merger agreement.

- At one of those initial merger meetings, there was a discussion about the date of the game. As the committee discussed the championship game (which ultimately became referenced as the Super Bowl), there was some confusion on whether the parties were discussing the respective AFL and NFL title games or the game between the two leagues. It was then that Hunt first recalled saying, “You know, the last game, the final game . . . the Super Bowl.”

- The “inspiration” for Hunt’s whimsical suggestion was the high-bouncing “Super Ball” produced by the Wham-O company. Lamar’s wife, Norma, had previously purchased one for each of the Hunt children (Lamar, Jr., Clark and Sharron) and the toy had become somewhat of a craze in the Hunt household and many other homes across the country.

- Hunt was later quoted as saying, “Nobody ever said let’s make that the name of the game. Far from it, we all agreed it was far too corny to be the name of the new title game.”

- In a letter from Hunt to Rozelle on July 25, 1966, Hunt urged the commissioner to “coin a phrase” for the title game between the two leagues. In the letter, Hunt said, “I have kiddingly called it the Super Bowl, which can obviously be improved upon.”

- Rozelle agreed with Hunt’s suggestion since he had a particular disdain for the term “super.” According to longtime NFL executive Don Weiss, Rozelle was a former PR man who had a keen appreciation of grammar. In Rozelle’s

book, “super” was the equivalent of “gee whiz” or “neat.” He believed that the term “Super Bowl” had no sophistication whatsoever.

- Rozelle was initially inclined to call the game the “Pro Bowl,” but that moniker was already assigned to the NFL’s annual all-star contest.

- In the years leading up to the merger, many members of the media had billed a possible championship match-up between the two rival leagues as a “World Series of Football,” but Rozelle clearly did not want to have his game associated with baseball.

- After much consternation and debate, Rozelle eventually dubbed the title contest between the two leagues as “The AFL-NFL World Championship Game.” However, Hunt’s whimsical, off-the-cuff comment had taken root. In the weeks leading up to the game, headline writers had already adapted Hunt’s two-word title over the much more verbose official moniker for the game. The TV networks billed the game as “Super Sunday” and even NFL Films tagged their film reels as being designated for the “Super Bowl.”

- After the first two “AFL-NFL World Championship Games,” the term “Super Bowl” was officially adopted by Commissioner Rozelle and the NFL. The first game to officially be designated as the Super Bowl at the time it was played was Super Bowl III between the AFL’s Jets and the NFL’s Colts. The first two championship games were retroactively named Super Bowls I & II.

Lamar Hunt left an indelible mark on professional football. While Hunt made many lasting contributions to the game, part of his legacy will be his “accidental” naming of pro football’s most important contest, the Super Bowl. As the story has been told and retold over the years, some of the facts have gotten lost along the way. Here are some of the most important elements of the tale in how the Super Bowl got its name...

ORIGIN OF The TeRM “SuPeR BOWL”


The Chiefs have been featured prominently on the cover of Sports Illustrated on 10 different occasions in franchise history. Three of those SI cover appearances came courtesy of Hall of Fame QB Joe Montana, who was acquired in a trade with San Francisco in ’93 and eventually guided the Chiefs to an AFC Championship Game appearance that season. Here are some of the highlights of Kansas City’s Sports Illustrated cover appearances . . .

Chiefs Paint New York Red (November 24, 1969): Kansas City’s initial Sports Illustrated cover shot came during the club’s Super Bowl IV season in ’69 following a 34-16 win at the N.Y. Jets (11/16/69). While the Jets were defending Super Bowl III champions, New York could not overcome three TD passes from QB Len Dawson to WR Otis Taylor in that contest. The Chiefs later defeated QB Joe Namath and company in the ’69 AFL Playoffs in a game that featured a storied goal-line stand by Kansas City’s defense.

Len Dawson Engineers Superchief Upset (January 19, 1970): After claiming their third American Football League title, the Chiefs made one final stand for the AFL with a 23-7 victory over the

heavily-favored Vikings in Super Bowl IV. Minnesota’s “Purple People Eaters” had lost just two games all season, but Chiefs head coach Hank Stram devised the perfect plan to “matriculate the ball down the field.” QB Len Dawson – who was named the game’s MVP – led an offense which executed the famed “64 Toss Power Trap” to perfection, while the Chiefs defense limited the Vikings to just one score as Kansas City claimed the Lombardi Trophy.

Cool, Joe – Montana Magic Strikes Again (January 24, 1994): QB Joe Montana made his third appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a member of the Chiefs following the club’s 28-20 upset win in an AFC Divisional Playoff Game at Houston (1/16/94). Fresh off of a 27-24 OT victory in an AFC Wild Card Game vs. Pittsburgh (1/8/94), the Chiefs earned a berth in their first-ever AFC Championship Game thanks to Montana, who rallied the Chiefs from an early 10-0 deficit against the Oilers. While the Chiefs offense posted 21 points in the fourth quarter, Kansas City’s defense registered 7.0 sacks.

Super Bowl XXXI – It’s Going to be Kansas City vs. Green Bay (September 2, 1996): The prognosticators at Sports Illustrated were half right

when they picked the Chiefs to meet the Packers in Super Bowl XXXI in the publication’s ’96 preseason issue that featured a fold-out cover. One side featured Chiefs QB Steve Bono, DE Neil Smith and RB Marcus Allen, while the other side depicted Packers WR Robert Brooks, DE Reggie White and QB Brett Favre. Although the Chiefs were coming off a 13-3 campaign in ’95, they couldn’t replicate that success in ’96, finishing the year with a 9-7 record. One of those victories was a 27-20 win vs. Green Bay (11/10/96), but it would be the Packers who would go on to claim the Lombardi Trophy with a triumph in Super Bowl XXXI over New England.

The Chiefs Perfect (So Far) (November 17, 2003): QB Trent Green became the fourth Chiefs signal caller to earn a spot on the cover of Sports Illustrated thanks to Kansas City’s 9-0 start to open the 2003 campaign. That nine-game winning streak featured a remarkable run by WR Dante Hall, who produced a kickoff return or punt return for a touchdown in four consecutive games. That victory stretch also was highlighted by Green’s performance in a 40-34 OT win at Green Bay (10/12/03). Green led the Chiefs back from a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter and found WR Eddie Kennison on a 51-yard TD pass in the extra period to provide the game-winning points.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Construction is continuing on the New Arrowhead, which is slated for completion in 2010. Major excavation work began all around the stadium in 2008 that will dramatically increase the footprint of the facility. On the South side of Arrowhead at Gate E, tons of earth were moved to create room for the massive elevator shafts and reinforced concrete supports that will be one of the most noticable exterior additions to “The Home of the Chiefs.” By June of 2009, the rising elevator columns, as well as structural elements for the new press box and Horizon Level can be seen taking shape. While work will continue throughout the 2009 season, by 2010, Chiefs fans will be able to enjoy the fully-enclosed and climate-controlled concourse on the club level, as well as a host of other amenities and new spaces throughout the stadium.
