Alas Poor Herm, I Knew Him, Lamar

Herm Edwards has been punted by the Chiefs. What struck me in his announcement is that he spoke of how wonderful it had been to coach "Lamar's Team."

Lamar Hunt, first owner of the Chiefs and inventor of the American Football League (1960's edition), died in December 2006. Herm had been with the Chiefs when Lamar owned the team, but he was head coach of "Lamar's Team" for less than a year before Hunt died.

Nice dig at Lamar's son Clark who has taken over the managing partner role of the team. Herm worked for Carl Peterson (who was with the Chiefs for 20 years) and Clark for two, but it was still "Lamar's Team" that Herm was glad to be a part of.

I love a sly insult, and this one seems pretty darn sly to me.
