On Saturday of this past weekend I took the family up to the Kansas City Chiefs training camp in St. Joseph, MO, for their annual Family Fun Day. My mom, the family’s resident super fan, was thrilled. Meanwhile the missus and I were pretty much preoccupied with making sure the kids didn’t melt in the heat. Regardless of not getting much time to watch the drills, I did manage to help mom get autographs from Dwayne Bowe, Chris Chambers, Alex Magee and Tyson Jackson. And ice cream was enjoyed by all.

I’m looking forward to this football season. Win or lose, the Chiefs are my team and I suspect they’ll have at least a few interesting moments this year. Here’s hoping they can catch some early momentum when they open up the season at the newly renovated Arrowhead Stadium on Monday Night Football against the San Diego Chargers.

Yes, I’ve already bought my tickets. Can’t. Wait.
