Football Hall of Fame - Football Hall of Fame - Football Hall of Fame Thus pro football made its debut more than 100 years ago in comparatively obscure surroundings that could not possibly have provided the slightest clue to the world-wide popularity the sport would be destined to enjoy, particularly in the waning decades of pro football's first century. The Allegheny football team, founded in 1890, and the Pittsburgh team, founded a year later, already were heated rivals when they met in the first of two games in the 1892 season and wound up in a 6-6 tie.

American Football League Contributors American Football League Hall of Fame who was not actively involved with the league or its reporting: he was 15 years old when the AFL ceased to be. Like Felser and McDonough, in his service on the pro football hall of fame board of selectors, he lent strong support to the candidacy of AFL players, enhanced by his first-hand knowledge of their accomplishments. One of the banes of the early existence of the American Football League was misleading media coverage. www.conigliofamily.com /AFLcontributors.htm
