February 28, 200620 yr I dunno exactly where to put this so i'll put it here for now. I've been looking for a while of a specific picture of Derrick Thomas i'm sure most of you will be able to recall. In a game against Seattle, in KC, 6 or 7 years ago, there was a torrential downpour. And when i say it was a downpour i mean it in every sense of the word. Water accumulated on the field. Anyways, there is an image that often got played afterwards and again after his death in tributes to him. It's of him, sitting on the ground having just removed his helmt, and there is rain pouring down his face. I dunno why, but that image has always stuck in my head when i am reminded of him and i've searched for that pic for a while without luck. So, if anyone knows what i'm talking about and has a pic or could help i would really appreciate it. Thanks

February 28, 200620 yr I remember this very well, Kansas City ended up losing I believe but it doesn't matter. I still have a hard time believing he's gone......

He was an absolute beast, I'm glad I actually got to see him in person. Who else here can claim they actually have a Derrick Thomas authentic jersey?

Yeah he was my idol for most of my childhood, especially since football was my favorite sport then. He I also remember him getting 6 sacks on opening Sunday Night against Oakland, I think it was Sunday night anyways. And I don't remember this but on November 11th, 1990, which was my 5th birthday, he had 7 sacks in one game against Seattle, but Seattle ended up winning that game on the last play I believe. Anyways I saw him in person when I was in 2nd grade, I was too shy to go up and get his autograph when I could've easy at training camp in River Falls, Wisconsin. I really regret not doing that. I also have a jersey of him, not authentic though. I never really was the same in regards to football after that. Baseball became my favorite sport then. There has been no Chief that has worn #58 since then but have they even retired it? I think I checked a while back and they still hadn't had it retired, according to the website.

I'm pretty sure it's not retired as well. It was a Sunday night game against the Raiders in which he punished the QB. I'm going to preface my next statement by saying that I am a Bears fan above all, but second to the Bears I'm a Chiefs fan. Arrowhead is the best place I have ever been to watch a football game. The set up of the stadium, the fans, the atmosphere, the weather, they are all amazing. I like Soldier Field, Lambeau is even good (Screw the packers but still cool place), but Arrowhead is the closest to a college environment that you get at a professional level, for any sport not just football. If you ever have the oppurtunity I highly recommend going.
