I think the Lounge should be renamed for a TBD timeframe to honor Derrick's induction.
Anyone second? |

I was at work tonight and kept going to the lounge to see who was up next. EVERYONE at work knows what a KC fan I am, and especially of DT. My office is next to the lounge, and when he came up the bellman called me on the radio so I could come watch.
I was able to sit in the employee lounge for the entire DT segment, along with a couple other football fans. Needless to say I shed several tears. Even though I was at work, and the only manager there tonight, everyone went out of there way to make sure I was not bothered by some dumb ass guest during the ceremony. The other 2 guys in there watching with me, both said they to shed a few tears, even though they were not KC fans, and one was to young to remember him. After wards I went out, and all my employees were really cool about expressing congrats and and a kind word, as they knew how much seeing this meant to me. Damn I'm getting teary eyed just writing this. RIP Derrick, you were one of the good guys. THANK YOU for all the excitement and rekindling my love of the CHIEFS & the NFL. And THANK YOU for all you did for KC, and the rest of the NFL. And lastly THANK YOU for the kind words you spoke to me that night long ago in Westport, and sharing some of your time with a true fan and admirer. I MISS YOU, and will always remember you |

I've been away from teh internets for a few days, but I put the header back up that GoChiefs made back when it was announced. Suggestions on a specific "Lounge" name are welcome.

Derrick Thomas, you helped make Arrowhead Stadium what it is today. You aided in the revitalization of one of the greatest fan bases in all the NFL. You brought an energy to Kansas City autumns and winters I can't put into words. Lastly, you made me the Chiefs fan I am today. Without that loyalty, that passion for something so seemingly simple as a football team, my life would be emptier. I will never leave the Chiefs behind, and I will never forget you.

Note to several of you the term is bawling not balling. Sherron Collins can really ball but he rarely bawls.
