Chances are some Chiefs fans didn’t even know what it was. That distinction would be depressing enough for any AFC competitor. But it stood as particularly mocking to the Chiefs, founded in Dallas and moved to Kansas City by the brilliant and revolutionary Hunt, but since 1970 unable to replicate their essential place in the NFL’s early Super Bowl history.

An ‘island of misfit toys’: Reich and original Panthers had unforgettable year in 1995

About 28 years before he became the Carolina Panthers’ head coach, Frank Reich was part of a rambunctious Panthers team that was doing everything for the first time. That 1995 Panthers team — the first in Carolina history — was loaded with characters, commoners and cast-offs. Everyone was from somewhere else. Most had been told “No” by at least one NFL team. “When that 1995 team first got together, we were kind of like the island of misfit toys,” said Dwight Stone, a special teams ace for that squad. “You know those toys that you used to have and no one wants to play with them anymore, but the...
