This is a KC board so you certainly have the right to your narrow and homerish view but you should recognize it for what it is. The rest of the country is more balanced thus the media coverage when Mara took the dirt nap was much more extensive than when hunt cornered that Great Silver Market in the sky.

Huh I just gave you 3 articles pointing out that Lamar brought revenue sharing long before Mara did and the AFL had most of their league ideas implented into the new NFL. All because of one man...Lamar Hunt.
I am not dissing Mara but Lamar Hunt built the NFL into what it is today. Read Paul Tagilabues comment or Roger Goddell's or any other NFL guy and they will tell the same thing. If it wasn't for Lamar the NFL wouldn't be what it is today.
Mara/NFL didn't want a team in Denver but Lamar did. THat means no team in Denver so think about that before you spout off again.
