“It’s somewhat bittersweet,” said Kansas City Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez. “I love Kansas City. I grew up in Kansas City. The city means a lot to me.
I got there when I turned 21. It will be sad to leave a city I love. But I’m looking forward to making a Super Bowl run in Atlanta every year for the next three or four years.”
That was what Tony Gonzalez said on April 23, 2009, as he prepared to depart Arrowhead Stadium for the last time after being traded to the Atlanta Falcons for a 2010 second-round draft pick.
