Record Breaker...

This season when you think Kansas City Chiefs, you probably think "bad football team". Ok, so I'm from Denver and I had to throw that one in there.

But the Chiefs are a dismal 1-4 and on Sunday had one of their worst loses in franchise history, loosing to the Carolina Panthers 34-0. However, not everything was a loss for the Chiefs on Sunday.

Tight End Tony Gonzalez passed another milestone. Gonzalez now has 10,075 career receiving yards which is the most ever by a tight end in the NFL.

The Mexican-American, Huntington Beach, Calif. bread player already owns the record for receptions by a tight end (841) and career touchdowns by a tight end (68). All this and passing the great Denver Bronco, Shannon Sharpe.

Check out this video of him inviting everyone over for Thanksgiving dinner, even my Broncos.



All of this could not have happened to a better person. Gonzalez is considered one of the players with great character in the league and this summer even saved someones life.

In July of this year while eating at a restaurant in his hometown of Huntington Beach a man at the next table began to choke. Gonzalez waisted no time and administered the Heimlich Maneuver and saved the man's life.

Turns out that the man was a San Diego Chargers fan.
