Smitty,
I figured you'd have some kind of Red Monday post, being the highest scoring team in the league and all!
I have a wager for you. Week 3 your Chiefs play my Colts. Let me know if you're a gambling man.
Cards were too banged up to compete. Colts were KCs killer-of-dreams for years (still not over the no-punt bowl) but, with Lefty Mahomes at the reins and 10 days rest I say, "horse burgers for everyone!" I swore off gambling in jr. high but I'll make you a no-bet (bragging rights, that sort of thing)

….the Bob Irsays on the other hand..:I haven’t bet on since they stole out of a certain hometown, under cover of darkness, ruining this young boy’s winter, lo those many moons ago….

I was at the No Punt Game. I was also at the Lin Elliot game. I've missed 1 Colts game at Arrowhead since 1984.
I am well aware that the well-oiled Chiefs will maul the finding-their-footing Colts. My co-workers will rain boos down upon me all week long for my horseshoe and blue attire, I'm sure. But I still like a gentleman's No Prize bet. May the best team of platic-glad gladiators owned by the billionaire sons of billionaires win!
You have mentioned the name of he-who-must-not-be-mentioned. THIS MEANS WAR! I knit my brow at thee in a manner most strenuous... knit, knit... and wag my finger, too.

I assume the 99 yard pick-six to take the lead unknit your brow, Smitty. No more mentions of the Lovecraftian Horror who haunts 1996 for you and many other fans.
But the worst remains the horrible terrible no good very bad Christmas Day of 71 against the Miami fish heads... not that I would ever hold a grudge... grumble,grumble
