Rasheed
Via Kansascity.com and Deadspin:Picture this: NBA player Rasheed Wallace, a Derrick Thomas jersey and a prosthetic leg. That was the scene in the lobby Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field. Wallace, wearing a No. 58 Chiefs jersey, tossed a man’s prosthetic leg back and forth. Odd. But at least it distracted Wallace from the loss, particularly considering the unlikely Chiefs fan has been following the team for 15 years. “That’s been my team since 1994,” Wallace said, “when we got Joe.”The Chiefs actually traded for quarterback Joe Montana a year earlier than that, and reached the AFC championship game after the 1993 season. Wallace, who now plays for the Boston Celtics, is a Philadelphia native.I can't wait to hear the explanation behind this one. I mean, a Chiefs fan? Really?
