description: On the 40th anniversary of the American Football League, a sports historian tells the story of the renegade league. Ten years before Joe Namath and his Jets earned a place in New York's heart, a ragged team called the Titans played in the Polo Grounds. Owned by the controversial Harry Wismer, the team succeeded on the field but languished at the box office, surviving only from 1959 to 1963.
