I grew up in Kansas City and as a young kid my family had season tickets to the KC Chiefs.  They had an annual exhibition game the first week before the NFL merger against the Denver Broncos.  It was called the Milgram Grocery Bowl after one of the largest Chiefs' sponsors, the Milgram Grocery Store owned by Les Milgram.  Les was a huge KC fan.  The Grocery Bowl was always fun because you saw players you probably wouldn't see the rest of the preseason.  One of the first games I remember, maybe I was 4 or 5 years old, was watching former University of Minnesota QB Sandy Stephens play.  He did what was called the "jump pass".  It was exactly what the name says.  Stephens was probably 5-10 at best and to get the ball out to receivers, many times he had to jump up to toss it, usually on a roll-out.  One thing that was quite interesting at that time in history was Stephens was black.  At that time, if I remember correctly, there were no black QB's in the league.  I remember Marlin Briscoe (sp?) of Denver, but I thought he was after Stephens.  I loved watching to see what rookies would make the squad.  I had read George Plimpton's book, "Paper Lion", about when he tried out for the Lions with Alex Karras and Night Train Lane. 

Those were fun times at the old Municipal Stadium watching the Chiefs.  Childhood memories, they can be hard to beat.
