This is not a ? but lets hear comments on the passing of Lamar Hunt. After reading his bio that was post tonight on the chiefs website this could be posted in several different areas of answers. He was inducted into 8 different hall of fames and has 13 championship rings in 5 different sports including football, soccer, tennis, and basketball. If you want to know more about this great man you should check out www.kcchiefs.com they have a bio on there and it is amazing everything he was involved in. The world has lost a great man.

Lamar Hunt will live on, through tales of his legacy that will be told for years to come, such as how he named the Super Bowl by watching his daughter playing with a "super ball". Also, the AFC champion receives the "Lamar Hunt Trophy", a further reminder of the great man and a nod to the AFL, a brainchild of his and the only real challenger to the NFL over the years (well, except for the successful CFL (canadian league), but who cares about that unless you live in canada?).
RIP, Lamar Hunt, and thanks for your contributions to the best sport in the world.

Its always sad to see a great man of sports pass but if he was living with cancer its probably for the best. He accomplished alot of things in his life and probably died a content man

He was great for the world of sports and he left indelible marks wherever he went. He will be missed but not forgotten.
