Prayers for a peaceful and quick ending to this situation.

Well, I guess we'll just have to win the whole damned thing for Lenny the Cool, then.

Only the best

After all the years doing the radio broadcasting for the team, I’m glad he was there to see us finally win it all again.

Stay cool, Lenny. Give Hank a big high five when God calls the final 65 Toss Power Trap.

Prayers

God speed Lenny the cool

Lenny is the man. Sorry to see him go.

Lenny the Cool enters Hospice and appreciation thread
 

Lenny the cool to Otis Taylor hooked me then. Sorry to hear of his health state. You were the man back in the day. You’ll be remembered.

Legendary quarterback Len Dawson, who led the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl triumph and was with the organization for six decades as a player and broadcaster, has entered hospice care in Kansas City, a friend of the family confirmed to The Star. Dawson, 87, became the starting quarterback in 1962, the franchise’s final year in Dallas, and he was the Chiefs’ primary quarterback until his retirement in 1975.

With the Chiefs he was reunited with Hank Stram, who had been his assistant coach at Purdue. Along the way, the Chiefs won three AFL championships, played in Super Bowl I and captured Super Bowl IV. Dawson was named the MVP in the victory over the Minnesota Vikings. He’s the franchise leader in touchdown passes and passing yards.

He's been going there a lot today.

Lenny and Marty were very much the reason many of us found our love for this team. Mr Hunt was icing on that cake. Makes me very sad to think its Lenny's time. Had multiple opportunities to talk to him over the years and will always remember such a gentleman and fine person.

Heaven gains a great new member

Prayers for the Dawson family.

The "Len Dawson Lounge" what's the hold up?

My boyhood hero.

That 37 yard toss to Otis in the final AFL game. In Oakland. From his own end zone. Under incredible pressure from the Raiders DL. On 3rd down. The biggest pass play in Chiefs history prior to WASP.

It led to the game leading TD.


Dammit this makes me sad.

It took a special man to lead a special team. When I was a kid playing pickup games on any piece of grass field or even on neighborhood streets I was Otis Taylor receiving passes from Lenny the cool.

Then one by one the greatest team I felt was ever assembled retired or moved on. Lenny didn't leave he became the voice of the KC Chiefs. He never wavered in his belief in the team and promoted players of past and present and was a supporter of the city. When your voice became silent I knew it had to be bad.

I pray for an easy passage to your eternal rest. When it is your time it will be like a family member has passed. I will never forget as long as I am breathing the memories you made.

Lenny The Cool the legend and Hall or Fame man, you will be missed.
