to a syndicate headed by Remington Products owner Victor Kiam for $83 million. Sullivan remained as the team's president until 1992, when he and Kiam sold the team to James Orthwein. However, the stadium lapsed into bankruptcy and was purchased by Boston paper magnate Robert Kraft. Kraft used the stadium's lease as leverage to buy the Patriots from Orthwein in 1994. During Sullivan's 28 seasons owning the team, the Patriots tallied 14 winning records, made six playoff appearances, played in the 1963 AFL Championship Game and represented the AFC in Super Bowl XX. In 1991, Sullivan filed a $116 million antitrust lawsuit against the NFL and accepted an $11.5 million settlement of the case in 1996. Death After an 8-year battle with prostate cancer, Sullivan died in his Atlantis, Florida retirement home in 1998.
