Thomas fulfilled his promises Other NFL greats will never forget Thomas' promises The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Joe Phillips will never forget the day Derrick Thomas promised a big hit on John hit on John Elway "We were playing the Broncos on the last day of the 1992 season, and we needed to win to get in the playoffs," said Phillips, who played with the nine-time Pro Bowl linebacker. Thomas: Participated in many civic projects "Derrick had what he called the big triple when he would sack the quarterback, knock the ball loose and recover it for a touchdown. That morning, he told me he was going to get a big triple on Elway. Then late in the game, we punted them deep and as we Springing past the blocker with his lightning-quick first step, Thomas tackled Elway, chopped the ball from his hand and fell on it in the end zone to seal a 42-20 victory. ran onto the field he said, "I'm going to get it now." "He virtually called his own shot," Phillips said. "It was an amazing thing." And he did. Thomas was paralyzed from the chest down in a car accident Jan. 23. He died yesterday in a Miami hospital at 33. Thomas personified the revival of the Chiefs during his 11-year career. He led the NFL in sacks during the '90s while the Chiefs became just one of three teams to win 100 games in the decade. But Thomas had interests broader than football He was fascinated by the killing of President Kennedy and certain there was more than one assassin. He made several visits to the assassination scene in Dallas and once became so engrossed while discussing the subject he forgot a team meeting and was fined $500. "I would pay 100 times that much if somebody could tell me "If nobody had ever invented football, I would probably be in prison right now. Football saved my life." Derrick Thomas what really happened down there that day," he said. Former Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Although he had matured the last couple of years, the former Alabama All-American with the dazzling smile was a tireless party animal in his early days. His late-model sports car with the license plate, "Isakqbs," became a familiar sight at Kansas City night spots. He enjoyed other celebrities. He would show up at concerts and hang out with the performers. He would go to a Chicago Bulls game and leave with Michael Jordan. He went to the NCAA Final Four and baseball's All-Star game. "I'm having a ball," he said. "I can hardly believe how lucky I am." His whirlwind, round-the-clock schedule prompted friends to dub him the "social director of the NFL." He was the personal favorite of Chiefs president Carl Peterson, who called him "son." He also was resented at times for appearing to occasionally loaf during training camp. "Derrick walks around here like he was the host at a party," one former assistant coach grumbled. But he also invested plenty of time and money in civic projects, almost all aimed at helping disadvantaged youngsters. He founded "Third and Long" to encourage kids to read. He appeared at libraries every week reading to young people. Thomas grew up fatherless in a tough part of Miami and realized he could easily have gone down another road. "If nobody had ever invented football, I would probably be in prison right now," he once said. "Football saved my life." His greatest game was probably on Veterans Day in 1990 when he set the single-game sack record by downing Seattle's Dave Krieg seven times.
