Some interesting notes about Mr. Hunt...
He is in no fewer than 8 Halls of Fame
Huge figure in the soccer world as well as the tennis world.
Is part owner of the Chicago Bulls
Has trophies named after him in Football and Tennis.
Took him only twelve years from the creation of the AFL (the NFL's rival keep in mind) til his induction into the Pro Football HOF (the NFL's HOF).
Called Herm Edwards after every game to talk football and always asked Herm "Am I botherin' you?" to start the conversation.
Eddie Kennison says that Hunt would periodically have hand written letters delivered to his locker telling him how much he appreciated Kennison's play and how glad he was the he was a Chief.
Named the Super Bowl. Came up with the name because his son was playing with a 'super ball' at the time. We've all had one of those I think.
Great, great man and a huge loss to the NFL and the entire sports world.
