But you couldn't say Bud Adams was too cheap to build a championship team. That club was just stacked at so many positions and yet, again and again, they choked in the post-season. In Denver, they choked. In Buffalo, they choked. At home against Kansas City, they choked. You can't really blame those on Bud (and I'm no fan of Bud Adams). As an owner, he spent to have all the pieces for a championship team put together and he did that.
As for going into the Hall of Fame, I'll bet it eventually happens. He owned a franchise for 50 years. Probably easier to put him in now that he, himself, isn't around to screw it up.
