We need to remind ourselves who Lamar Hunt was. He was not only the founder of the American Football League, the predecessor of the AFC, but hunt also founded the Kansas City Chiefs.  To see Mike Brown accept the Lamar Hunt Trophy in Arrowhead Stadium for beating Lamar Hunt’s team in his own stadium was a big moment for me.

I freely confess I may have been too hard on Mike Brown at times and now all I want is for him to hold the Lombardi Trophy and bring it back to Cincinnati.

I cried when Ickey Woods handed the AFC Trophy to Mike Brown, his first one since his dad Paul Brown died 30 some years ago. 

Now to see them hand him THE LOMBARDI TROPHY for SUPER BOWL NFL CHAMPIONSHIP WIN, and then to Coach Taylor and then to Joe Cool Burrow and the entire Team. Then bring that trophy to Cincinnati for everybody who works for Bengals from Katey to Tobin to the guy that washes the uniforms to share in The Glory.
