NFL football


NFL football is the best sports I the world because it has a lot of action and really cool plays. Football is also one of the best sports in the world because its fun to play and a lot of people enjoy it because of the good teams that play each other and all the good players. The super bowl is the biggest thing of all the games the two best teams in the NFL face each other for the Lombardi trophy the Lombardi  trophy is a trophy that the winning team gets the trophy. The super bowl is held at a stadium  that is picked but none of the teams are home there usually away, the Super bowl is at different stadiums ever year next year the super bowl is going to be held at the Indianapolis stadium. The reason I like football because u get to try out different position  and its fun playing against other teams and u get to be in the action instead of watching the action. My favorite football team is the Atlanta falcons the worst team I like is the green bay packers, I like the falcons because they have really good players and also they have one of my favorite players. I also like the Philadelphia  Eagles because of Michael Vick and Desean Jackson those are my favorite players on the Eagles. On the falcons my two favorite players are Roddy White and Julio Jones. NFL football has been going on for a long time. It use to be just American Football League until 1969 it changed into National Football League( NFL)  The first NFL draft was 1960 including hall a farmers in the draft.  The common draft began in 1967 the first AFL teams were the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland  browns, Baltimore Colts, The AFL logo was changed some times one of those times the A was changed from blue to white to red. The NFL retained its logo and its colors, over the years the NFL has became one of the most popular professional sports league in the United States . When there was only a 12 team league the Chicago Bears was one of the most popular teams, on August 14,1959 was one of the first team meetings held in Chicago, Illinois. The Dallas Cowboys started play football in 1960 and the Minnesota Vikings started playing football in 1961. Later in the year another team was made from Buffalo, New York was names AFL's eighth team.  The AFL first draft  took place the same day that Boston got a Franchise. Every different season there was different number of games in 1982 there was only 9 games in the season. In 2001 there was 16 games after every year the football games either stayed the same or go lower or higher, in 1990 bye weeks game into some of the football teams schedule.  In October 26,2007  the NY giants and the Miami dolphins played in London for the first game.
