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.

With all the uproar about the NFL raising prices, I decided to do my homework and talk to some trusted friends about what's going on, and what I found out surprised me. The NFL is charging more and more to put their games on television, ultimately hurting the fans at home.

If the NFL -- the fattest cat of all among sports leagues -- gets away with bamboozling consumers, then every sport will be emboldened to follow suit, littering our cable bills with additional price increases.
