CHIEFS

Well, aren't we all glad that the Chiefs won? Honestly, the way San Francisco is going, it would have been too dangerous (or dirty) to hold a victory parade.

Someone will be complaining about the name, "Chiefs." It isn't as simple as they think.

From CNN (of all places to find a fact!): "It all started with, of all things, the Boy Scouts. The Tribe of Mic-O-Say is part of the Boy Scouts of America program in Missouri and was created by Harold Roe Bartle in 1925. ...Bartle went by the name of "Chief Lone Bear" in his Mic-O-Say organization..." although he was not Native American.

"Almost 40 years after the founding of Mic-O-Say, Bartle became the mayor of Kansas City...colloquially known as "Chief." Bartle helped convince Lamar Hunt... to bring the Dallas Texans to Kansas City."

There was a name competition and "Chiefs" won, apparently in connection with Bartle. I was unaware of this history, but one of the identifiable components of the Kansas City skyline is the building with the "hair curlers," Bartle Hall Convention Center.

Now you have it.
