Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez spent 12 seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, but unfortunately, he wasn't able to win a Super Bowl with them.
In a recent appearance on Mike Tyson's “Hotboxin” podcast, Gonzalez revealed how he felt watching Kansas City win their first Super Bowl in 50 years this past season.
“I was happy as s—t,” Tony Gonzalez told Tyson and co-host Eben Britton of the Chiefs' championship win (h/t Heavy.com). “I was there. Obviously we worked it for FOX. I was on the sideline. I didn't move the whole time. Remember… it's been 50 years since they won it. I played there 12 years — and we couldn't get it done. So I was there — and they won and the confetti dropped.
“I had this feeling of like — so happy! Obviously, it wasn't me; I know I didn't win the Super Bowl. But it's like watching one of your kids win, I guess; that's the only way I can compare. Like, you're really happy for them. Even though I didn't win it, part of me won it. So I guess I'll take 75% feeling like it. But it was good to see them win.”
It's no secret that Gonzalez was happy for the Chiefs' Super Bowl victory because right after they won, he tweeted a video of their celebration.

Despite not winning a Super Bowl with the Chiefs, at least Gonzalez had a good career with them. In his 12 seasons with the team, he broke numerous records and set a new production precedent among tight ends.
