 Oy vey. It's bad enough when you're the worst team in football, as  the Kansas City Chiefs most likely are. The Chiefs are 1-8, they have a  negative point differential of minus-110, a turnover differential of  minus-20, and things do not look bright for the franchise's future. Most  likely, head coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli will  be looking for new gigs once this season is over.
 On top of all that, and according to one man's obituary, the Chiefs  have a singular responsibility one wouldn't generally tie to a football  team. On Nov. 14, 81-year old Loren G. "Sam" Lickteig of Missouri passed  away from ... well, we'll just go with the 
Kansas City Star obit verbatim:
Loren G. "Sam" Lickteig passed away on Nov. 14, 2012 of  complications from MS and heartbreaking disappointment caused by the  Kansas City Chiefs football team.
  Ouch. We knew the Chiefs were bad, and we certiainly don't want to  make light of such things, but either the late Mr. Lickteig, or someone  in the late Mr. Lickteig's family, wanted to send a very pointed message  to their most disappointing football team.
