AFL Memorabilia piece of the day...
Since the footbal season is among us a friend of mine, Todd Tobias, a football historian, started posting the AFL piece of the day to his friends. So with his help I pass this great information on...
The Los Angeles Chargers were one of the original eight teams in the old American Football League. The original coaching staff was made up of Sid Gillman, Al Davis, Chuck Noll, Joe Madro and Jack Faulkner. Future congressman, Jack Kemp, was the sta...rting quarterback. From the original team in 1960, Ron Mix was the only player still with the Chargers when the AFL ceased to exist with the merge with the NFL.
The Chargers won the AFL Western Division championship in 1960, but lost to the Houston Oilers in the league championship game by a score of 24-16.
