Indianapolis colts
Super bowls, 1970 (V), 2006 (XLI), the team has become the first in league history to win 12 games or more in five consecutive seasons - extending this record to six after the 2008 season. The Colts are also the first NFL team to beat all of the other 31 NFL teams.
It’s an event were the best team of the AFL (American football league) plays against the best team of the NFL (national football league), every year in February since 1966.
This is the most watched event in the USA, with more than 93 viewers in 2007 super bowl were the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS played against the NEW YORK GIANTS, a great match, because the patriots had win the last year super bowl, and the giants were like the “small team” in this match, and at the end the giants came up and wined the match, a great match.
It’s also a big festivity, and it’s, after thanksgiving the most important day in the year.
The days before the match, the big stores rebate the TVs and start like a super bowl fever and the theme of the store its all super bowl.
This can be a two side match, the sport side, and the economic side, because, in the sports side, it isn’t a good game, its very tied and the score is less than 14 points by team. a playoff game its usually better than a super bowl game, the teams are more “relaxed” and they’re more concentrated in the match.
In the other side, the economic side, it’s a business, were the adds can be priced in one million dollars, the tickets are the most expensive in the season and the tourist agents builds a packet.

SOME RULES
The field measures 100 yards long and 53 yards wide.
Games are divided into four 15-minute quarters, separated by a 12-minute break at halftime.
One 11-man team has possession of the football. It is called the offense and it tries to advance the ball down the field-by running with the ball or throwing it - and score points by crossing the goal line and getting into an area called the end zone.
The other team (also with 11 players) is called the defense. It tries to stop the offensive team and make it give up possession of the ball. If the team with the ball does score or is forced to give up possession, the offensive and defensive teams switch roles (the offensive team goes on defense and the defensive team goes on offense). And so on, back and forth, until all four quarters of the game have been played.
In order to make it easier to coordinate the information in this digest, the topics discussed generally follow the order of the rule book.
All progress in a football game is measured in yards. The offensive team tries to get as much "yardage" as it can to try and move closer to the opponent's end zone. Each time the offense gets the ball, it has four downs, or chances, in which to gain 10 yards. If the offensive team successfully moves the ball 10 or more yards, it earns a first down, and another set of four downs. If the offense fails to gain 10 yards, it loses possession of the ball. The defense tries to prevent the offense not only from scoring, but also from gaining the 10 yards needed for a first down. If the offense reaches fourth down, it usually punts the ball (kicks it away). This forces the other team to begin its drive further down the field.
A touchdown is the biggest single score in a football game. It is worth six points, and it allows the scoring team an opportunity to attempt to get an extra point. To score a touchdown, the ball must be carried across the goal line into the end zone, caught in the end zone, or a fumble recovered in the end zone, or an untouched kickoff recovered in the end zone by the kicking team.

NFL'S History
The National Football League was the idea of legendary athlete Jim Thorpe he was player-coach of the Canton Bulldogs, and Leo Lyons, owner of the Rochester Jeffersons, a sandlot football team.
After Lyons's Jeffersons played, and lost badly to, Thorpe's Bulldogs in a 1917 match...
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqLtkvOG_wZ4tC8oS3KAoxIofEiBKd8-99J_uKPW2y972so4ZuYewzngwXwqZjw9y-K_SEy9TopVQBxdlqIJEJIa-nOldLTOdvt2xDMG1ERW4ma_X-WW5C5NM1OWlSX379wYxhp0dpYex2/s400/saaaaaaaa3.jpg)
Lyons suggested to Thorpe that a league be formed.
Plans could not be initiated immediately in 1918, due to the Spanish flu quarantines and the loss of players to the Great War, which led to the Bulldogs suspending operations and most other teams either suspending operations or reducing their schedules to local teams.
A new league is born
It was not until August 1920, at a Hupmobile dealership in Canton, Ohio, that the league was formalized, originally as the American Professional Football Conference, initially consisting only of the Ohio League teams (though some of the teams declined participation). One month later, the league was renamed the American Professional Football Association, adding Buffalo and Rochester from the New York league, Detroit, Hammond, and several other teams from nearby circuits. The eleven founding teams initially struck an agreement over player poaching and the declaration of an end-of-season champion. Thorpe, while still playing for the Bulldogs, was elected president. Only four of the founding teams finished the 1920 schedule and the undefeated Akron Pros claimed the first championship. Membership of the league increased to 22 teams (including more of the New York teams) in 1921, but throughout the 1920s the membership was unstable and the league was not a major national sport. On June 24, 1922, the organization changed its title a final time to the National Football League.

- All existing teams would be retained, and none of them would be moved outside of their metropolitan areas.
- AFL "indemnities" would be paid to NFL teams which shared markets with AFL teams. Specifically, the New York Giants would receive payments from the New York Jets, and the San Francisco 49ers would get money from the Oakland Raiders.
- Both leagues would now hold a "common draft" of college players, effectively ending the bidding war between the two leagues over the top college prospects.
- While maintaining separate schedules through 1969, the leagues agreed to play an annual AFL-NFL World Championship Game, matching the championship teams of each league, beginning in January 1967, a game that would eventually become known as the Super Bowl.
-The two leagues would officially merge in 1970 to form one league with two conferences. The merged league would be known as the National Football League. The history and records of the AFL would be incorporated into the older league, but its name and logo would be retired.
MY OPINION IS
This is favorite sport for many people
in the united states and the womans that likes it
are very beautiful, for example:
