In September 1997, a young Sports Illustrated writer got banned from the Oakland Raiders’ training facility by owner Al Davis, then hopped a plane to Kansas City and went on a 72-hour bender with Chiefs star Derrick Thomas. Among Mike’s adventures was attending a memorable (wait for it) house party hosted by the late, great pass rusher the night before he led the Chiefs to a victory over the Raiders, during which they watched Mike Tyson defend his heavyweight title and enjoyed the uproarious commentary provided by another guest: hip-hop star Christopher (Kid) Reid, he of the unmistakable hi-top fade. Part 2 of our expansive conversation covers the early days of Kid N’ Play, their star turn in “House Party” (and the dubious decision that cost them a shot at sitcom success), Kid’s relentless clowning of Martin Lawrence, his defense of close friend Bill Maher after the “Real Time” host dropped an N-bomb and why he thinks Mike and Aaron Rodgers are an iconic NFL duo.
