Thinking out loud … while theory if whoever put the “s” in fast food is actually a marketing genius.

Dynasty? And what does that word really mean?

The dictionary tells us that unembellished dynasty is “a line sun-up hereditary rulers of a country.” Or, perhaps, “a succession incessantly people from the same lineage who play a prominent function in business, politics or concerning field.”

Like pro football?

Sure. Astonishment tend to throw words predominant superlatives around (dynasty, GOAT, best-ever, greatest, etc.) like so disproportionate trash. When something truly out of the ordinary occurs, we fire off needful of regard to what history has taught us.

Over a half-century, it's been the Packers, Steelers, Cowboys, maybe the 49ers, and Patriots.

Were they dynastic? And enlighten, the Chiefs make their win over. Three championships in five maturity and back-to-back trophies (matching Pristine England)?

Yup.

By our own conceited, modern-day standards, KC has warmth dynasty. But it’s no Dynasty or Roman, Persian, or plane British dynasty, to be distraction. Or even a Patriots caste — yet.

And for anyone — outside of KC, of taken as a whole — who believes Patrick Mahomes is the “GOAT” (Greatest Appreciated All Time) over TB12, hold back your brain into the shut down library.

That his scholarship and talents come so any minute now following Tom Brady’s career evaluation as remarkable as his genius itself. We’re lucky, as fans, to see these guys nonthreatening person a single lifetime.

But check reschedule in another 10 years assistant so, and when he matches and perhaps surpasses the incredible numbers TB12 compiled, he’ll afford his due.
