  • BUFFALO BILLS Team History
    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2020-2021 EDITIOn QUARTERBACK JIM KELLY - hall of fame class of 2002 BUFFALO BILLS Team History The Buffalo Bills began their pro football life as the seventh team to be admitted into the new American Football League. The franchise was awarded to Ralph C. Wilson on October 28, 1959. Since that time, the Bills have experienced extended periods of both championship dominance and second-division frustration. The Bills’ first brush with success came in their fourth season in 1963 when they tied for the AFL Eastern division crown but lost to the Boston Patriots in a playoff. In 1964 and 1965 however, they not only won their division but defeated the San Diego Chargers each year for the AFL championship. Head Coach Lou Saban, who was named AFL Coach of the Year each year, departed after the 1965 season. Buffalo lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1966 AFL title game and, in doing so, just missed playing in the first Super Bowl. Then the Bills sank to the depths, winning only 13 games while losing 55 and tying two in the next five seasons. Saban returned in 1972, utilized the Bills’ superstar running back, O. J. Simpson, to the fullest extent and made the Bills competitive once again. That period was highlighted by the 2,003-yard rushing record set by Simpson in 1973. But Saban departed in mid-season 1976 and the Bills again sank into the second division until a new coach, Chuck Knox, brought them an AFC Eastern division title in 1980.

The synergistic relationship between the greed of the National Football League and the greed of the principal owner of the Raiders, made such a move an inevitability on the wheel of time. Such “loyalty” to the city of Oakland and its rabid football fans will not go unrewarded. Indeed, both the Raiders owner and the NFL will make out like bandits once again. There were actually some reports last week suggesting that were he alive today, Al Davis, would not have allowed this combined fleecing of Raider fans, the taxpayers of Oakland, and those of Las Vegas.

  • The Real Team Players: Legal Ethics, Public Interest, and Professional Sports Subsidies
    THE REAL TEAM PLAYERS: LEGAL ETHICS, PUBLIC..., 27 Geo. J. Legal... 27 Geo. J. Legal Ethics 451 Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics Summer, 2014 Current Development 2013-2014 Kukui Claydon a1 Copyright © 2014 by Kukui Claydon THE REAL TEAM PLAYERS: LEGAL ETHICS, PUBLIC INTEREST, AND PROFESSIONAL SPORTS SUBSIDIES INTRODUCTION: FOOTBALL, THE HEART OF AMERICA, AND THE UNDERBELLY OF SUBSIDIZED FINANCING “Football is not a game but a religion, a metaphysical island of fundamental truth in a highly verbalized, disguised society, a throwback of 30,000 generations of anthropological time.” 1 This Note will discuss public subsidies for professional sports stadiums, ethical issues that face attorneys involved in stadium deals, and the need for a more transparent bargaining table where millions of taxpayer dollars are involved. Whether you love it, hate it, or are indifferent, American football encompasses a huge part of modern American cultural identity and passion. 2 Particularly with the rise of television, American football became the country's biggest spectator sport, a cultural pinnacle, and the primary focus of both collegiate athletics and professional sports. Through football, Americans celebrate their local, school, emotional, regional, national, and other identities. Football is an American holiday tradition, a promoter of corporations and universities, a staple of towns, a grower of leaders and promoter of teamwork, a symbol of war, a topic of controversy denounced by some as promoting violence, sexism, and greed, and supported as promoting family values in a religious setting by others. Depending on one's point of view, football may symbolize everything that is right or wrong with American culture and society.
