But it is a long and treacherous road to glory, but also one that is beneficial in the most righteous ways to anyway who has the heart and competence to travel such a path.

Season tickets are passed
Ever wonder how one of the most famous sporting events began? Well, I am going to tell you how the First World Championship began.

“It's a tough one," Goodell said. "And the reason I say that is it works so well right now. We have 12 teams that qualify for the playoffs and what it does is it's not just the number of teams in the playoffs, it's what it does to our regular season.

Professional football had originated in the towns of western Pennsylvania and taken root in the smaller cities of Ohio. In 1920, a group of midwestern teams met to form the American Professional Football Association, changed the next year to the National Football League.

The Denver Broncos won the very first AFL game against the Boston Patriots, 13-10. These are 2 of the original 8 AFL teams. The others include the Buffalo Bills, the San Diego Chargers, the Oakland Raiders, the Dallas Texans, the Houston Oilers, and the New York Titans. So Bob Howsam has saved all those teams, all because of his baseball team, the Denver Bears. So, in a way, baseball saved football.
