    Loved the AFL as a kid. Always liked watching the AFL games better than the NFL games back then. The Buffalo Bills were and still are my team. The 1963-66 Bills were very good football teams...particularly the 1964-65 AFL Championship teams. They were the first AFL team that really resembled a traditional NFL team with their great power running game featuring RB Cookie Gilchrist and their excellent defense. That Bills defense still holds the pro football record for most consecutive games without allowing a rushing TD. I'll never forget that hit by Bills LB Mike Stratton on San Diego Chargers RB Keith Lincoln in the 64 AFL Championship Game that knocked Lincoln out of the game. The Bills ended up winning that game 20-7 and then beat the Chargers again in the 65 AFL Championship...this time a 23-0 shutout in San Diego. They also came within one game of facing Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl I but lost the 66 AFL Championship to the Kansas City Chiefs. That's one game I look back on and don't really mind that the Bills lost because they likely would've lost to the Packers anyway in the Super Bowl. The 66 AFL Championship ended up being the last Bills home playoff game until they played the Houston Oilers in the 1988 AFC Divisional Playoff game

      Jack Tate The ghost of Pete Rozelle. Davis didn’t like playing by the NFL’s rules, and there was a huge lawsuit over the Raiders relocating to Los Angeles in the early 1980’s. That was the territory of the LA Rams. Rozelle had his work cut out for him just trying to manage the owners. It was like herding cats. You should read about the protracted negotiations among the owners over the new alignment when the two leagues merged. To balance the two new “Conferences” meant three NFL teams had to switch Conferences to the AFL/AFC.

      Isn't that amazing that the ref didn't do anything? I understand it was a massive effort to get the fans off the field from the play before, as they thought the game was over. Actually, being Boston, I'd have to say that fans stormed the field KNOWING that maybe a second or two was left on the clock, and as such, there was one more offensive play for the Texans, from the Patriots one yard line, but figured simply that 'strength in numbers' would prevail, and the refs would consider the task of trying to clear the field to 'tall', and call the game. Well, as one can see, before the snapped the ball on the last play, the left side of the end zone is covered by fans, and of course the one clown, who by the way, came on the field needless to say before, but never left. He instead, stayed on the field (ten yard line), and even joined the refs who were huddled up discussing the situation. A friggin' cop had to come and escort him to the back of the end zone. Evidently the cop didn't keep a hold on him, as the SAME fan, is the one who runs back out in the middle of the defense, and deflects the pass attempt. If it's any consolation to the Texans, you can see that the ball had no chance of being caught by the Texan receiver, as the ball was thrown way behind him. Without the fan there, the ball hits the ground and the game is over-same result.

      The crazy thing is that the NFL didn't realize, apparently, that there was a huge demand for pro football that was being unmet in the early 1960s. The stupidity of not expanding until forced to do so is sort of mind boggling. You had two other networks that wanted pro football. Why wouldn't they have realized that adding teams would simply expand the pie for everyone. It always struck me as stupid. All the AFL owners really wanted were NFL franchises. They had no real desire to compete with the NFL, as they proved when they merged.

    I was 13 and growing up in suburban Dallas. My Dad took me to all the Texans games. He said after the NFL told Lamar Hunt to "go to the devil," that we were going to support the Texans all the way. He wouldn't even let me watch the Cowboys on TV or listen on the radio. Of course, he changed his allegiance to the Cowboys when Hunt moved the Texans to Kansas City.

    This documentary probably got it's title ("Full Color Football") from the fact that when TV coverage of the American Football League moved to NBC in 1965, the network televised nearly all of it's 1965 AFL schedule in color.
    By contrast, only one regular-season NFL game on CBS that year (the Thanksgiving game in Detroit) and that year's playoff games were shown in color. It wouldn't be until 1966 that most of CBS's NFL games were seen in color.
    Additionally, the NFL television "blackout" rules in the early 1960's stipulated that if an NFL team was playing at home, not only was that game blacked-out from local TV in the city the game was being played in, but no NFL game could be televised in that city that week.
    These facts cannot be overlooked; in NFL cities during the early 1960's, the AFL game was the only pro football game on television on seven of the fourteen Sundays of the regular season.

      The NFL probably wishes they had handled that whole era differently. It was old guard thinking, at a time when they could have been using out of the box approaches. Old NFL 1950’s voice: “Expand our league with the injection of huge new money, and add the new cities of Houston, Denver, Buffalo, Boston, Dallas, Twin Cities to the NFL? Second teams in NY and LA? No way… !!… Wait, what, they are forming their OWN league?! Quick, about face, we have to put our own teams in Dallas and the Twin Cities so that that Minnesota team has to go to Oakland!!! Total reactionary thinking and a gross misjudgment of the number of talented players and coaches that were available.

      Wilson was a horrible owner. He was much more interested in the bottom line than he was in winning. The Pegula's aren't the greatest owners but they're definitely more committed to winning than Wilson was. I was actually hoping Donald Trump was the winning bidder to buy the team. Donald Trump would not tolerate losing the way Ralph Wilson did

    I'm really enjoying this. I'm a sucker for old time documentaries and stuff like this. I grew up in the 70's and I was a huge sports nut probably up to the mid 2000's when my fanaticism started to wane. Now, I couldn't care less if I catch a game when before I never missed one. I haven't watched an entire NBA game in probably 20 years and I might watch a football game to it's conclusion maybe 4 or 5 times a year. Why? Not entirely sure but the politicization has a lot to do with it. Also, back then, players were no different than any other blue collar guy. I remember when the Flyers were winning Stanley Cups and in the summer, they would tour the area playing softball against local teams like the police department or fire department and afterward they would go to someone's house and have a barbecue. Nowadays, players wouldn't piss on fans if they were on ffire.
