SPORTS UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
'Montana mania' mounts in KC
Bv Doug Tucker
AP Sportswriter
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As the whole town falls deeper and deeper in love, you wonder when starry-eyed fans will decide to rename their team the Kansas City Montanas.
To a lot of people, it hardly seems right calling them the Kansas City Chiefs anymore. The Kansas City Chiefs scrimped and scraped and stumbled and fumbled for 20 years without ever getting past the wild-card round.
The Kansas City Montanas are just one game away from the Super Bowl.
The Kansas City Chiefs, for longer than they care to remember, were insignificant also-rans who went eight embarrassing years without getting invited to play on Monday nights.
The Kansas City Montanas are the toast of the league. And in Sunday's AFC title game, they're probably the sentimental favorite of fans nationwide who would rather see Joe Montana make a run at winning his fifth Super Bowl than watch the Buffalo Bills try not to lose their fourth.
"I've had a lot of calls from people wishing me luck," said Montana, who has padded his legend the past two weeks by leading the Chiefs to come-from-behind playoff victories against Pittsburgh and Houston.
Known in these parts as Montana Mania, the phenomenon took root last spring the minute the Chiefs pried Montana, his mystique and his four Super Bowl rings away from the reluctant San Francisco 49ers.
Even before training camp began, it became a potential problem. As the
Chiefs' bus rolled into River Falls, Wis., to pitch camp in July, a huge billboard greeted the players proclaiming, "Welcome Joe Montana," and then, in much smaller letters, almost as an afterthought, it continued, "and the Kansas City Chiefs."
Amazingly, however, there has not been any apparent breakdown in team morale. If anybody's jealous, they do not show it. Montana may have executed his niftiest plays this season far from the public's admiring eye, convincing his teammates he is just an ordinary Joe.
"I addressed that the first day of minicamp, and I touched on it on the opening day of training camp," coach Marty Schottenheimer said. "I have not mentioned it since.
"It hasn't been necessary. It was evident that he doesn't particularly care
to be in the limelight."
"Maybe initially there might have been (some resentment). But at this point, they all understand the way things take place," Montana said.
Maybe the players understand. But among Kansas Citians — about half of whom seem to be wearing bright red Chiefs' shirts, caps and sweaters — love knows no bounds. Just ask Robert Norton, the manager of a restaurant opened by an national chain near Arrowhead Stadium this year with the incredibly timely name of The Montana Steak Co.
The project was launched in February, long before Joe became a Kansas Citian and has nothing to do with the quarterback. Nevertheless, customers stream in hoping to glimpse the great one.
