	Remember the AFL
		The AFL also adopted the first-ever cooperative television plan for professional football, in which the league office negotiated an ABC-TV contract, the proceeds of which were divided equally among member clubs.
		AFL scouts, including fls like Tom Williams and the first full-time fl scout, Lloyd Wells, recruited and opened the gates for the hundreds of talented fls who subsequently contributed immeasurably to the sport, following in the footsteps of Abner Haynes, Buck Buchanan, Lionel Taylor and the like.
		Further, the league championships were evenly divided: five were won by Western Division teams, five by the Eastern Division; and of the original eight teams, all but two (Denver and Boston) won at least one AFL title, and only one did not make the playoffs at some time during the league's ten-year existence.

	Buffalo Bills
		Dubenion ranks seventh all-time in the AFL in receptions and reception yardage.
		He was an AFL All-Star in 1962, 1963, 1964, and while with the Denver Broncos in 1965, when he rushed for 954 yards.
		He was a guiding force in AFL policies that insured success, such as gate and television revenue sharing; his heavy financial backing of the rival Oakland Raiders and loans to Billy Sullivan of the Patriots helped keep those franchises afloat, likely saving the entire league from folding.

	Definition of American Football League Championship
		The AFL benefited from having been formed just at a time when professional football was beginning to catch up with (and eventually, in the 1960s, overtake) baseball as the most popular spectator team sport in the United States.
		The AFL stocked its teams in two ways: signing "draftees" from the previous year's college graduates (the college draft); and signing "free agents" (players whose contracts in other professional football leagues had expired, or who had no professional experience).
		Further, the league championships were evenly divided: five were won by Western Division teams, five by the Eastern Division; and of the original eight teams, all but two won at least one AFL title, and only one did not make the playoffs at some time during the league's ten-year existence.
