The loss of Kansas City owner Lamar Hunt is being felt around the NFL, including in Denver.
Hunt died late Wednesday night after a three-week illness. Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen released a statement regarding the death of his friend and colleague.
“Lamar Hunt was one of the finest owners in the history of professional football and one of America’s greatest sportsmen. It has been my privilege to work with and compete against Lamar. It was an honor for me to have a close relationship with Lamar and with his family, and that came out of 23 years of working together and competing against each other. In my early years Lamar had a significant influence on me as a new owner in the league. My condolences go to Norma and to his entire family, as well as to the Kansas City Chiefs organization.”
