Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
54 years ago, Bud Adams and Lamar Hunt held a joint press conference to announce the formation of the new American Football League. Adams, the co-founder of the AFL, pursued his passion for football every day until his passing on Monday. Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson is now the last remaining owner/founder of that group, having been with the Bills since their inception in 1960. No current NFL owner presided over more wins with his organization than Adams. Most of those wins came in Houston where Adams' Houston Oilers won the first two AFL titles in 1960 and 1961 before losing the '62 title to Hunt's Dallas Texans team. The Oilers played in Houston until 1997, when Adams moved the organization to Tennessee amidst great controversy.
