He came up with the term ``Super Bowl'' and his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, was involved in the first one played under that name. (The Chiefs began as the Dallas Texans in the AFL; Hunt opted to move them after several seasons of competing with NFL's local startup, the Cowboys.) His NFL legacy lives on through the Chiefs |

Kansas Citians are determined to honor the visionary NFL patriarch who died Wednesday and was responsible, in the words of Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson, ``for bringing the game to all parts of the United States.'' |
