In 1966, the then rival leagues often called the Nationwide Football League and the American Football League decided the champion of each league would play each other in what was coined as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game. The aim of this game was a precursor to the eventual merger of the 2 rival leagues. This merger was to happen previous to the opening of the 1970 soccer season. The first AFL-NFL World Championship Game pitted the Inexperienced Bay Packers of the NFL in opposition to the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs of the AFL. Green Bay won that recreation 35-10 in entrance of 61,956 individuals on the Los Angeles Coliseum on January fifteenth 1967, as expected. The AFL at the moment was considered an inferior league to the NFL and these championship games have been expected to be dominated by the NFL champions who performed in them. The 2nd AFL-NFL World Championship Game played on January 14th 1968 in the Orange Bowl in Miami Florida, in entrance of 75,546 fans between the Green Bay Packers of the NFL and the Oakland Raiders of the AFL, proved this inferiority concept to be correct. Nevertheless in 1969, what also simply so happened to be the primary 12 months of the new "Super Bowl" the tables would flip and the AFL would gain the respect they deserved, and the legitimacy to play a championship recreation versus the Oh So dominant NFL. This recreation was received by the AFL's NY Jets, lead by a young and brash quarterback by the identify of Joe Namath 16-7 over the vaunted, and perceived extremely dominant Baltimore Colts. This was the first time the soccer loving public heard the time period Tremendous Bowl. The owner at the time of the Kansas City Chiefs Lamar Hunt was the inventor of the name Super Bowl. Lamar was an NFL visionary in many ways but this term Super Bowl was most likely not one thing he figured to go down in history for. Though it's been mentioned he didn't think the AFL-NFL World Championship Game was a catchy sufficient title for this clash of the titans assembly between the 2 leagues. I don't think anybody aside from Lamar actually is aware of exactly why he came up the time period, however I believe it was a slight collaboration from two of soccer's most well-known stadiums, the Orange Bowl and the Rose Bowl. Which between them by the way have hosted 13 Tremendous Bowls over the years. But the story goes, in the future while Lamar was watching a baby play with a toy aptly named a Tremendous Ball, the time period Tremendous Bowl was born. I still say he had to be enthusiastic about a brand new identify previous to this simple incident, and the ball itself was the simply catalyst for such grand inspiration. Lamar Hunt was the unique proprietor of the AFL's Dallas Texans crew earlier than he moved them to Kansas Metropolis where they turned the Chiefs. He and the Normal Manager of the Cowboys, Tex Schramm are the two males accredited with the AFL and NFL merger, which in turn created the necessity for a championship game. Therefore it is just fitting one among them, Lamar Hunt needs to be the one to create the title Super Bowl. Nicely folks, that is history and so is the rest of this story as the two separate leagues did complete the merger in 1970, and we at the moment are about to play our forty third consecutive Super Bowl. Yes this is Tremendous Bowl forty five to be played in February 2011 but bear in mind, the primary championship video games did not carry the coveted titles of Tremendous Bowl I & Tremendous Bowl II. These had been AFL-NFL World Championship Games. We should all elevate a toast to Pete Rozzelle, Tex Schramm, and particularly to Lamar Hunt on this upcoming Sunday in February celebrating the fact that slightly than attending or throwing, an AFL-NFL World Championship Occasion, we're instead enjoying "The Super Bowl Occasion".
