****ing BRAVO! A wonderfully produced piece.

Yeah, I cried, just like I did when I heard the news as a teenager. Just a tragic story.

I am not even going to try to blame dust for the water coming out of my eyes.

Very well done!

Nothing really new or groundbreaking for anyone who knows the story, but a good way to spend 19 minutes.

Yep, it was just re-living a little slice of hell. I can still remember Frank Boal completely choking up as he was reporting this news. Still gets to me when I think about it.

All this hoopla, yet Joe Delaney Memorial Park is, 30+ years later a weed farm with maybe a dangerous, rusty swingset thrown in somewhere.

Looking forward to this doc, though.

To be honest, I had never heard of Joe Delaney before watching this documentary. Remarkable stuff. I know the jersey he wore on Sundays had nothing to do with his character or what he did for those boys. Still, I am proud to say he played for the Chiefs.

Great stuff. Very well made. I only wished it was a little longer.

Finally found time to watch it. Though I obviously knew the story, it was cool to see it really brought to life. As someone who was 1 year old at the time, I don't think I'd really appreciated how good he could have been. Crazy to wonder how different things might have been.

Anyway, good stuff.

As someone who lived the shit years of the Chiefs in both the 70's and 80's, it's hard to describe the sort of hope that Joe brought back to a once proud franchise. To have that feeling of hope vanish in what seemed like a blink of an eye, well, it was demoralizing. And then, the guilt sets in. It's the guilt that you feel for being so selfish that the loss you feel is for the hope you had for your team, and not the person behind the jersey. Joe's story is important, because it helps tell the story of the real loss in all of this - Joe Delaney the Father, the Husband, the Brother, the Teammate, the Friend, and the Selfless human being. That's a tragic loss.
