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 faces 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 famers in the draft.  The common draft began in 1967 the first AFL teams were the Pittsburg 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 were 16 games after every year the football games either stayed the same or go lower or higher, in 1990 bye week’s game into some of the football team’s schedule.

 In October 26, 2007 the NY giants and the Miami dolphins played in London for the first game.  Now these days the NFL season is usually just 16 games and also the playoffs so the players still play a lot of games, also they made NFL more complicated because of all the rules they have now. The NFL this year almost only played 13 games this season because the NFL went on a lockout and also the Super Bowl almost got postponed.
