Ha! Don Ameche? I have not heard that name in years!! I think(?) Bob Hope held a small interest in the L.A. Rams back in the day. Maybe it was another NFL team, I’m not sure. I do know that he was involved with the ownership of the Cleveland Indians MLB team for a few years. I have an old ‘Sport Magazine’, (I have a very extensive, but not a complete collection, of those mags, from it’s first issue in 1946 to about 1972, when I quit collecting. More than a few SI’s also), with Hope on the cover. Bob Hope was one heck of a great American in my opinion. The amount of time he gave entertaining our troops, home and abroad, was flat incredible!
When the AAFC broke up, the best players on the LA Dons went to the LA Rams. Some other teams stayed intact when they merged with the NFL, notably the San Francisco 49ers and the Cleveland Browns. The other teams folded.
