Tales from the Kansas City Chiefs Sideline: A Collection of the Greatest Chiefs Stories Ever Told (Tales from the Team)

Beginning with their founding as the Dallas Texans of the American Football League in 1960, the Kansas City Chiefs have been one of professional footballâ€™s most storied franchises. In Tales from the Kansas City Chiefs Sideline, veteran sportswriter Bob Gretz brings the teamâ€™s rich history to life.

Gretz begins with the Chiefsâ€™ visionary, 27-year-old owner Lamar Hunt, who founded not only a team but an entire league. After the Texans won the AFL championship in 1962, Hunt moved the team out of his hometown to Kansas City. Two Super Bowl appearances as the representative of the AFL culminated in a Chiefsâ€™ championship in 1970, despite being a double-digit underdog to the Minnesota Vikings. It would be the final game featuring an AFL team, as the Chiefs and nine other teams merged with the NFL. Gretz covers the battles leading up to the merger along with the high and low points in team historyÂ—the lean years (1972Â–88); the Â“Carl and Martyâ€ era, when the team made the play-offs in six consecutive seasons; the Â“Joe and Marcusâ€ show of 1993; the dismal 2008 season; and the teamâ€™s 2013 renewal under Andy Reid and John Dorsey.

Tales from the Kansas City Chiefs Sideline is a must-have for any Chiefs fan!
