How the mighty have fallen

The first NFL game i watched (entirely by accident) was Kansas City second game in 1999-2000 season (i have no idea who they played against). Elvis Grbac was Chiefs' QB and he threw this amazing 50+ yards pass down the side that was caught by some WR just over the fingertips of the defending cornerback. That was the moment I fell in love with football (the Americal version) and abandoned football (the worldwide version). That season was also the season that the "Greatest show on turf" inched the Titans out of going to SuperBowl OT, and Kurt Warner was obviously at his best.

Although this is a subject to an entirely separate entry, i'm not a fan of one team (perhaps because i started watching football at 25). I like good high-scoring offensive teams, and although i'll always remember Elvis and Kurt in their best days (although Elvis threw a mind-boggling number of interceptions), i enjoyed Buccaneers two-three years later and Colts last year. That's why i was saddened to see Elvis go and that's why i'm saddened to see Kurt struggle at this stage against Eli at first and Matt now. Sure, they are the future, but Kurt's career was so spectacular and so short... It's a real pity that he hurt his thumb back then and never recovered.
