— Before dawn on a fall Friday, Steve Spagnuolo enters the Kansas City Chiefs facility with a large aluminum pan.
“He was,” Spagnuolo says, “a man of character.”AdvertisementEgsegian and Spagnuolo had long talks on bleacher benches after practices.
Steve and Maria Spagnuolo make Chiefs defenders feel like family.
“Steve loves the fellas and likes to show them.”They bring Greek food to Chiefs defensive end George Karlaftis, a native of Athens.
Jones has called Spagnuolo a father figure, as have Reid, Sneed and others.
