One of the biggest visionaries in sports, and a well deserving member of the NFL HOF. He will be greatly missed as Wellington Mara is.

this is one heck of a busy, fruitful life (though, i guess, being the son of an oil tycoon does grease the bearings and get the ball rolling):

While I handed Andre Rison an ass whooping in Madden, he was telling me stories of Hunt. He said that he was the most hands on owner he played for (7 NFL, 2 CFL FWIW) Hunt would chill at practices often brining family with him. And as a sign of how times are changing.... his dad bought him the Texans for 30K.... And now Jerry Jones is building a 1 billion dollar venue... wow.
