Kansas City king

Sporting News, The, Feb 12, 2001 by Joe Posnanski

Peterson was an assistant coach for Vermeil at UCLA some 25 years ago. They went to Philadelphia together. They both know this is their last hurrah--like Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau in the Grumpy Old Men years--and they both want to go out with a Super Bowl victory.

Kansas City expects nothing less.

"I'm a positive guy," Vermeil says. "But when someone asks me something, I try to tell them the truth. So when people ask me, `Are you going to the Super Bowl?' I tell them, `How should I know?' I'm no soothsayer. I'm a football coach."

Joe Posnanski is a sports columnist for the Kansas City Star.
