Extractions: a tribute SUIT column by Chris Jungle Ever since I understood the concept of football, I've been a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs. My parents lived in KC for a brief stint while I was a young child, and I've rooted for the NFL team practically all of my life. I endured the 1980's where the team regularly endured losing records. After a dismal 3-13 season in 1988, the Chiefs drafted with the fifth pick a linebacker from Alabama named Derrick Thomas, and the team changed instantly. In Thomas' first year, the team went 8-7-1 and narrowly missed the playoffs. The Chiefs would make the playoffs seven of the next eight years. Thomas went to nine pro bowls in eleven years, making a habit of sacking the quarterback. He patented the quarterback strip, slapping his hand at the ball instead of trying to drive through the quarterback' ribs. He caused the league to start recording the statisticForced Fumbles. He holds the record (with others) for most sacks in one game when he got to Dave Krieg of the Seattle Seahawks seven times. On the last play of the game, Thomas almost got Krieg an eighth time, but instead the quarter back shook him off and through a thirty yard touchdown pass to win the game. Tying the record was bittersweet. Number 58 had the ability to turn the tide of football game. His mere presence altered how teams played against the Chiefs. Fans packed the stadium like never before, and Arrowhead became one of the most feared places to play. Derrick Thomas' only professional team was the Chiefs, so I never had to root against him. Simply put, he is my favorite football player of all time.

Extractions: Tuesday, Feb. 8, 2000 By Ron Pollack, Editor-in-chief There is fast, too fast and way too fast. Derrick Thomas the football player was fast. He ran fast. He got to the quarterback fast. "He’s a very talented athlete who can move very fast, very quick," said John Bunting in 1995, when he was the Chiefs’ LB coach. In 1992, when he was Thomas’ teammate, DE Neil Smith said, "The dude’s got closer speed. But the thing about Derrick is he’s got this great ability to get low to the ground and not lose a step. "He has the ability to turn the corner on a dime. It’s something you have to have strong ankles to do. The guy’s quick upfield, but when he turns the corner, he really turns the corner. He can just wheel his body around. It’s something you just can’t teach." Derrick Thomas the driver was too fast. Thomas was at the wheel of his 1999 Chevrolet Suburban headed for Kansas City International Airport when it veered into the median and rolled several times. An icy snow was falling at the time, and Clay County prosecutor Don Norris said he viewed the accident as weather-related.

Extractions: KANSAS CITY, Mo. If you had to block Derrick Thomas, you feared that quick first step that led straight to your quarterbacks blind side. As an assistant with the Raiders and Chargers, Gunther Cunningham would lie sleepless at night trying to think of a way to stop Thomas. But the stunning news of Thomas death Tuesday left the Chiefs head coach thinking not of sacks or forced fumbles but only of that infectious smile. That will stay with anyone who ever saw Thomas from the fans who called in tears to sports talk radio and made requests for such songs as Van Morrisons Into the Mystic to Cunningham to Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson, who frequently referred to Thomas as his son and meant it. I never looked at Derrick Thomas as a football player, Cunningham said. I looked at Derrick Thomas as one of the finer people Id ever been around and a friend. The thing Ill always remember about Derrick is his smile. Thats the one thing Ill never get out of my mind.

Extractions: A bright light goes dark too soon, a shooting star burns across the sky for only an instant, and like these Derrick Thomas' Life was much to short among us. The man known as "DT" to football fans everywhere will be remembered not only as a football player but also for the many lives he touched. It was not an uncommon sight to see this large gentle man walk into the hospital with teddy bears in both arms and then cry when the parents would call later and tell him their child had died clutching his football card to their chest. When there was a need this one man would go from locker to locker, demanding at least $100 from each of his rich teammates because he had decided he wanted to raise $14,000 to feed 750 families. When there was no other way for them to go this one individual would pay for 18 strangers to go college, just because. When it was discovered that inner city kids were unable to use the public library one person would write a single check to cover the $61,500 in library fines accrued by Kansas City kids.
