KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Midway through the funeral of Otis Taylor on Wednesday, a highlight video of his superb career with the Chiefs evoked oohs and cheers and surely some tears among the several hundred in attendance at the Friendship Baptist Church.
When it was over, Pastor Michael C. Phillips of Paradise Missionary Baptist Church epitomized a recurring theme of the day when he suggested the content of the work by Red Tribe Cinema made for compelling evidence of the place Taylor deserves in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
“Amen, that was awesome …” he said. “We need to do what we need to do to get him in the Hall of Fame. Amen.”
