In memorandum
It brought tears to so many's eyes, including my own. NFL Commisioner Paul Tagliabue says of Mr. Hunt "He was one of the most considerate, one of the most thoutghful, and one of the most visionary people you could ever deal with" I personally thank him for the contributions he made to the sport. It is sad to see someone who really wanted to make fans happy gone. It makes me wonder when we will see the next Lamar Hunt and makes me hope that it is not too far away. My last couple of blogs have praised to him for his accomlpishments and now I give praise for him. For what he accomplished and for those he leaves behind. May some of his spirit live on in each of us, it would make the world a better place. He listened from the Dallas hospital to the first Thanksgiving Game, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs against the Denver Broncos, to not be played in only Dallas or Detroit but right from his hometurf in more than 3 decades. He listened as the Big 12 game matching the Oklahoma Sooners against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. We listen for him now. Lamar Hunt, 1932-2006.
