Green: 'The Other League' brought us the Super Bowl

Miami — It was the perfect hideout.

A car in a spot between two yellow lines at an airport parking lot. Folks rushing for planes would never have noticed the occupants conducting important business.

That’s where this Super Bowl fuss all started. On a hot June day in 1966. In a parked vehicle at Dallas Love Field. Two men negotiating a merger.

Perfectly inconspicuous.
