You are spot on! And when they said BIG Chief, they were not kidding. He was HUGE, @ 350-400 Lbs. Used to see him when I was with Macy's and would go out for lunch and he would hold court. Really had nothing to do with Indians but one would never know it.
When I had tickets, we were on N F L Films twice. One time had a two table silver service set up with chilled wine and imported beer in the big bowls and champagne buckets. Our bunch was The K C Ski Club, LOL!
