U.S. Soccer Legend Lamar Hunt Dies

Wow... talk about coming out of the blue. I heard about this today when I was reading my ESPN email newsletter and was totally taken aback. Lamar Hunt, for those of you who don't know, isn't just the founder of the AFL and the Super Bowl, he's also one of the biggest proponents of soccer in the US. He was an owner of a team in the old NASL, and of course he was the owner (at one time or another) of the Columbus Crew, the Dallas Burn, and the Kansas City Wizards of MLS.

He died of prostate cancer after a long fight. May he rest in peace.
