I was fortunate enough to grow up in Kansas City during the 1960's and had the GREAT fortune of being able to attend many Chiefs games during this time. As a member of the Huddle Club (a special club for kids under the age of 14 who could attend Chiefs games for $1.50) I saw many of the games where highlights were pulled from in order to build these videos and for the 5-part series called Full Color Football. The AFL was a tremendous league to follow and be a fan of. Chiefs games at old Municipal Stadium (the stadium they played in prior to Arrowhead) were a ton of fun. AFL teams had identities too. Not only were they creative, but more often than not they were spontaneous in the way they improvised plays. The Chiefs offense under Hank Stram was imaginative and entertaining. My 1st sports hero was #89 Otis Taylor. I could go on and on here, but I think you all get the idea. I loved AFL football. Long Live the AFL!

George Blanda washed up? He's a Hall of Famer and one of the greatest players in NFL history.
What is the Oakland Raider Music at 15:23 Mad Bomber Music
That's NFL Films music. You'll hear it on various NFL highlight films, especially when John Facenda is narrating.
Living in Canada loved the AFL and NFL both great the afl was just a breath of fresh air
