Robert Allen Stein is a former American football linebacker. He played collegiately for the University of Minnesota, and began his professional career in 1969 with the American Football League's Kansas City Chiefs, with whom he won the fourth and final AFL-NFL World Championship Game after the 1969 pro football season. In speaking of that game, he has said: "I will always remember guys like Jerry Mays, Johnny Robinson, Budde, Tyrer, Arbanas, Buck, Bobby Bell, etc. nearly crying in our Super Bowl locker room before Super Bowl IV when they were surprised by the AFL patch that Hank put on our jersey shoulders after all the years of being called an inferior league. Winning the game wasn't bad either."
Stein was the first president and CEO of the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves, a position he held until 1995.[1] Additionally, he was appointed to the Minnesota Boxing Commission in December 2007 by Governor Tim Pawlenty.[2]
Stein is a member of the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame,[3] the St. Louis Park (MN) Athletic Hall of Fame,[1] and Beta Theta Pi Fraternity.[4]
