Goodbye Lamar. . . Texas will miss you!
December 14, 2006
Lamar Hunt died yesterday a the age of 74. Texas won’t be the same without his influence. Many people call him the founder of the NFL as we know it today (such as Jerry Jones of the Cowboys). When he was just 26 he was the “energy and catalyst” behind the AFL and coined the term “Super Bowl”. He was also the man behind professional tennis and soccer, eventually being inducted into the football, tennis and soccer hall of fame.
The Dallas Morning News has a great obit here, the Dallas Observer writes about him here.
