The Chiefs announced Tuesday that the team will retire Derrick Thomas' jersey number, 58, this season in a ceremony that honors the legendary linebacker the same year he enters the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Thomas' hall of fame ring will be presented to the late player's family during halftime of the Dec. 6 home game against Denver. Thomas' number will be the 10th to be retired by the Chiefs.

I'm surprised it took this long to retire DT's number...

Word. Why wait until he was voted in to the HOF? Should've been done within 3 years after his death.

I wouldn't doubt that Carl had something to do with this.

Incompetent fuck.

I miss you Derek.

Sorry about the misspelling Fez.

I was actually talking to a guy named Derek that spells his name that way at work.

I also called myself Carl to the next person I talked to on the phone.
