	National Football League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The NFL's greatest spurt in popularity came in the 1960s and 1970s, after the 1958 NFL championship game which went into overtime, and with the merger of the rival American Football League (1960-1969) which introduced major on- and off-the-field innovations that were eventually adopted by the NFL.
		In 1999, the NFL moved the first week of the season one week later due to the conflict with January 1, 2000.
		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.

	Pottsville Maroons: NFL owners refuse to reconsider 1925 ruling
		NFL owners voted 30-2 Thursday against reinstating the 1925 NFL championship, thwarting a push by the city of Pottsville, Gov. Edward G. Rendell and a legion of supporters across Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania and the nation.
		The NFL owners voted, 30-2, yesterday against reopening the league's files from 1925 and perhaps awarding the NFL title that year to the Pottsville Maroons.
		The NFL and the Hall of Fame did give Pottsville some recognition, naming the city the winner of the Daniel Reeves Pioneer Award, which will be presented to community representatives in August at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

		It would be the birth of the best rivalry in NFL history, as the Packers, and soon to be named Bears became a driving force in the development of pro football.
		This was a pattern that had been used for the Packers, almost form the start as the NFL was afraid of extremely cold Green Bay winters, and spilt the Packers season in half with the first half all being played at home and the second half all being played on the road.
		The Packers had driven the ball 67 yards and sat on the 1-yard line, when Bart Starr dove across the goal line with 13 seconds left to give the Packers their 3rd straight NFL Championship with a 21-17 win in what would forever be known as the "Ice Bowl".

		The 1990 NFC Championship did not have the legendary game conditions that encompassed the Ice Bowl ('67 NFL Championship) and it did not have the surreal offensive fireworks as the "Epic in Miami" ('81 AFC Divisional) certainly did, and it was not the final game of the season.
		However, the 1990 NFC Championship Game arguably had a greater impact on the game of football, in terms of its reverberations -- than any contest since the '58 NFL Championship in Yankee Stadium.
		You had a two-time defending champion, in the midst of a NFL record road winning-streak, possessing in its arsenal the game's greatest receiver, who had torpedoed Atlanta earlier in the year, and the quarterback that all others would be measured by, both of these players made the NFL's 75th Anniversary Team.

		In contrast, Tennessee's defense looked vulnerable against Pittsburgh, and the Raiders potent offense, No. 1 in the NFL during the regular season, will exploit anything they're given.
		It doesn't particularly matter that this will definitely be the last game at the Vet, but the demented Philly fans and the chilly weather tip the balance in the Eagles' favor, and I think they're the better team anyway.
