Hunt feeling upbeat
Chiefs owner might go home today after brief stay in Dallas hospital.
By ELIZABETH MERRILL

Lamar Hunt finally got to take in a football game on Friday, watching the Texas-Texas A&M game from his hospital bed in Dallas.
If things go as planned, he’ll be home today to catch the Chiefs’ big win over the Broncos on tape. Hunt, the Chiefs owner, missed his team’s Thanksgiving game because of a partially collapsed lung, but is upbeat and hopes to be released from the hospital today.
“He was sorry he had to miss it … but it really gave him a lift,” Jack Steadman, the club’s vice chairman of the board, said Friday night. “Tell people that he was very excited about the game and the fans and the city. It was just a major event for Kansas City, and that made him very happy.”
Hunt, 74, was one of the focal points of Thursday night’s NFL Network extravaganza. For 37 years, he lobbied for the league to rotate the holiday game. The Chiefs pulled out the win, gave the game ball to their owner, and got emotional over Hunt’s latest setback.
