Will McDonough (July 6, 1935 - January 9, 2003) gave the American Football League honest exposure in his articles and columns in a nationally prominent newspaper, the Boston Globe. Up until his death, he had attended every AFL-NFL World Championship game and every Super Bowl. His knowledge of the game of professional football, his ability to get "the inside story", and his honesty and integrity lent credence to his articles on the Boston Patriots and the teams they competed against in the American Football League, which formed the genesis of modern professional football. As a Contributor, Will McDonough is a member of the American Football League Hall of Fame. Will McDonough's son, Sean has grown to become a successful sportscaster in his own right.
