An old friend of mine and I spent about an hour of the Super Bowl talking about the old AFL, sparked by an impromptu contest of could we name all the original AFL teams as well as a player on each.
Today he sent me this. Quincy Jones doesn’t like it:
I was a big Buffalo Bills fan. Cookie Gilchrist, Jack Kemp, and my fave Elbert “Golden Wheels” Dubenion. I could not name all the AFL teams but the Jets were the Titans which I guess was supposed to mean they were bigger than Giants.
Raiders, (Cotton Davidson), Texans (became Chiefs, Chris Burford), Oilers, (Billy Cannon), Bills, (Cookie Gilchrist), , Titans (became Jets, Matt Snell), Patriots (Babe Parilli), Chargers (LA, Keith Lincoln), but drawing a blank on the last team…(which should prove this was from memory, lol)…
Broncos – Lionel Taylor.
ach. thanks.
