Super Bowl / Instant Replay Kansas City

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A Super Bowl in an outdoor cold weather stadium!!!!!!!!!!! 18 years after I first proposed it to the NFL!!!!!!!!!!!!! And in my Giants new stadium, love it! Thank you NFL OWNERS!!!!!!!!! In 1992 and 1993 I proposed ideas to the NFL Owners, GM's and Coaches to bring back Instant Replay in a modified form and to allow cold weather NFL cities like Kansas City to host Super Bowls. In 1993 I also sent all my proposals the media in the NFl cities as well. I had the buttons I'm wearing made as part of the package I sent out. One button is for Instant Replay, one for Cold Weather Super Bowl sites. I received many great letters from Owners, GM's, Coaches, NFL Officials, Bob Costas, Chris Berman and even the mayor of San Francisco who was putting together support to host a Super Bowl at the time. I was on Sports Radio in NYC, Cleveland and Seattle and also on TV in this interview on March 7, 1993 on the Kansas City Sports Machine. This is part of the interview and it was a great experience and a lot of fun. It was a lot of hard work and time those two years but it was worth it. I am happy that Instant Replay came back and maybe one day, as the Chiefs have stated their desire to host a Super Bowl recently, maybe a Super Bowl will come to Kansas City. If I had a part in having the idea come to light, that would be great. The whole idea was to have these two ideas spoken about by the NFL and all the teams. From the letters I received I do believe I kept the Instant Replay discussion alive and I am happy that at this year's owner's meeting (2007) they made Instant Replay permanent. I believe I planted the seed for Cold Weather Super Bowl sites and if it ever happens I'm glad I brought the discussion to light.

How can so many professional sports still be slow in accepting Instant Replay? How about the 2010 World Cup and all the missed goals? Does the head of FIFA need to apologize to whole nations for the "human error" of it's officials? Instant Replay exists in every sport that is televised. We all see the replays on TV over and over again. It is ridiculous when technology can quickly give the right call that "human error" is still considered good enough. Getting the call right is the bottom line.

I didnt realalize the Chiefs havent won a Playoff game since 1993 OUCH

I am not a Chiefs fan BUT YOU Chiefs fans are some of the BEST in the whole NFL you deserve better

[Aerosmitherines]

yea kc deserves a playoff game! but we need to get our stadium downtown first instead of kinda being in the middle of no where

Lol he had hair at some point?????

And we were supposed to get that "rolling dome" thing or whatever just so we can have a Super Bowl. Whatever happened to that?

Thankz and you know at our stadium we cant stand anymore during a game fuckin bullshit right?

I am a Saints fan and lifelong Louisianian. That said, I can without bias tell you that we have won only TWO PLAYOFF GAMES in 41 YEARS yet have hosted 9 Super Bowls which is either tied for most all time or in the lead by itself so I'm not sure where your correlation between on-field success and viability as a host city candidate come from.

i'm sorry man.. what is the goal for the chiefs every year?? sweep the broncos?? win ten games?? i know it sure isn't winning the super bowl because the playoffs come first..

[YeahJoe50]
