 National Football League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The NFL is one of the major professional sports leagues of North America.
The NFL is able to utilise the possible relocation of a franchise to Los Angeles as a threat, eg when trying to persuade local governments to contribute to the cost of new stadiums for its other franchises.
The 1958 NFL championship in New York -- considered by many to be the most-important game in the rise of the NFL -- drew record TV viewership and made national celebrities out of Unitas and his Baltimore Colts teammates.

 ipedia.com: Ken Hitchcock Article
Hitchcock began his coaching career during the 1984-85 season where he was coach of the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League.

Patrick is the only player to win the Conn Smythe trophy as MVP of the playoffs three times (1985-86, 1992-93, and 2000-01).
This season Patrick broke Sawchuk's record of 971 GP and went on to pass 1,000 career regular-season games, but his 240 career playoff games is also a record—for any player, ever, in any North American sport.
His best season was 1988-89, when he got six assists (the record for goalies, if you're curious, is Tom Barrasso's 48, followed by Grant Fuhr's 46—so Patrick might yet own this record as well).

 Statistics and Standings
Each season has its own page, where you will find the league standings for the season, playoff results, individual player stats, uniform numbers, draft picks, and a listing of award winners and all-stars.
Some seasons are incomplete, especially in the areas of uniform numbers and playoff statistics.
This is due to one of two reasons - either I don't have the stats for them, or the player was traded during the season and the "official" stats do not differentiate between the two teams.

 Television Programming
Television must provide information and entertainment suited to the tastes and needs of a very large public.
The same fact helps to explain why this programming appears repetitive, even hackneyed, for familiarity breeds popularity; why it is expensive, since success requires stars and high production values; and why it commonly employs the format of storytelling, because no other mode of explanation or diversion is so universally accepted.
This cultural fact dictates that television programming will come in many different forms: newscasts and news magazines or documentaries, talk shows, sports broadcasts, games and quizzes, variety shows, and children's programs, as well as a range of dramatic entertainment.

At its inception, the NHL boasted five franchises- the Montreal Canadiens, the Montreal Wanderers, the Ottawa Senators, the Quebec Bulldogs, and the Toronto Arenas.
Eventually the PCL folded, and at the start of the 1926 season, the NHL, which at that point had ten teams, divided into two divisions and took control of the Stanley Cup.
The League passed a rule prior to the start of the 1979-80 season decreeing that anyone who came into the NHL from that point on had to wear a helmet.
