Bud Adams, Founding Owner of N.F.L.’s Titans, Dies at 90
Bud Adams, a pro
football presence for more than half a century as a founder of the American
Football League and the owner of the Houston Oilers and their successors, the
Tennessee Titans, died on Monday at his home in Houston. He was 90. The A.F.L.
began with two very rich Texans. Lamar Hunt, the Dallas-based son of the oil tycoon H. L. Hunt, conceived of a league
that would compete with the established National Football League. Mr. Adams, a
private man, was uncomfortable with public-relations gestures, and he could
display a rough edge.
