Longread #148 -- The Chiefs and the Mafia -- 9/10/12

The blog is back after a week-long hiatus. Since last weekend was the start of the NFL season, I felt an NFL-related longread was appropriate to start the week off right. While it's been a long time since my hometown Kansas City Chiefs won a playoff game, there was a time when they were among the league's best teams. While winning Super Bowl IV is a high point for the franchise, this story describes how it went even further in altering the powerful role of the mafia in KC.
