	Hank Stram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		He is best known for his 14-year tenure with the Kansas City Chiefs (formerly the Dallas Texans) of the American Football League (later the American Football Conference of the National Football League).
		The Texans played their first game in the new AFL in September 1960 and proved to be successful from the beginning.
		At the Hall of Fame ceremonies, Stram was so weakened by the effects of diabetes that Len Dawson had to push Stram onto the stage in a wheelchair and his induction speech was videotaped.

		I think it was not that they were "spying" on the AFL, but that the NFL was forced by the AFL threat to end its hide-bound complacency and actually expand its boundaries.
		AFL fans were confident that their favorites would continue to build toward major status.
		Although the first two Super Bowls may have forced some to doubt that the AFL was ready to compete with the NFL, the doubters overlooked the fact that the AFL was still the younger of the two leagues and hadn't yet peaked while the NFL may have gone past its best days.

		The AFL benefited from having been formed just at a time when professional football was beginning to catch up with (andeventually, in the 1960s, overtake) baseball as the most popular spectator team sport in the United States.
		Long passes ("bombs") were commonplace in AFL offenses, led by such talented quarterbacks as John Hadl, Daryle Lamonica, and Len Dawson.
		The NFL champions in both 1966 and 1967, the Green Bay Packers, decisively defeated the AFL champions in the first twoSuper Bowls, thus confirming the view of many NFL supporters that the NFL was the superior league.

		A 26-year-old Texan, frustrated by his unsuccessful attempts to gain a pro football franchise in the National Football League, embarked on an alternate course that was to drastically change the face of pro football forever.

		The Texans would struggle, with a midseason 5 game losing streak in their second season posting a disappointing record of 6-8 while finishing a distant second in the AFL West.

		On June 17, 1960, the AFL filed an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL, for, among other things, putting a team in Dallas after the AFL had placed one there and for interfering with the league's attempt to get TV contracts.
		Houston and Dallas were involved in an epic struggle that lasted two overtimes for a total of 77 minutes and 54 seconds.
		Haynes announced that Dallas would "kick to the clock", which meant that not only would the Texans kick off, but that they would also be going against the wind.

		The Texans and Oilers struggled through a fifth fifteen-minute period and were two minutes and fifty-four seconds into a record-breaking "sixth quarter" when rookie Tommy Brooker kicked a twenty-five-yard field goal to give the Texans a 20 to 17 victory in the longest football game ever played.
