Have you ever wondered who invented the NFL? Well, i have, Jim Thorpe one of the many inventors of the NFL.The NFL was first known as the American Professional Football Association(APFA) It was later named the (NFL) National Football League,invented in Canton,Ohio 1920.But little did they know that pittsburgh had already made a pro football league in 1892.There is 32 total NFL teams, they are divided into conferences AFC( American football conference ) and the NFC ( National football conference )Both conferences are divided into East, South, West and North. Each conference has 16 teams, each conference plays in the super bowl and the playoffs.Personally my favorite team is the Dallas Cowboys. They have won 5 super bowls.The last super bowl they one was in 1996. My favorite dallas cowboys player has to be Emmitt Smith, he was the cowboys running back for 12 seasons.
