The wait is OVER – NFL IS HERE!
In order to celebrate this amazing time of the year, when Sundays television is something worth paying for and beers and snacks are permitted on a Sunday night, we recollected five funny facts about the National Football League. Check them out!
1. THE SUPERBOWL TROPHY COSTS AROUND $25K USD
Imagine spending *THAT* much on a football-shaped piece of metal.
2. The University of Georgia liked the Green Bay Packers’ logo so much that they just… “borrowed” it.
It’s not like it’s green or anything. Right?
3. Carl Wearthers (Apollo Creed) played with the Oakland Raiders for two seasons.
Directed by John G. Avildsen
Shown: Sylvester Stallone (as Rocky Balboa), Carl Weathers (as Apollo Creed)
In 1974, he left the team to pursue his true passion – acting.
4.In 1939 the audience that watched the 1st televised football game was about 500 people.
This number today represents the 0.04% of the football-watching audience.
5. There was been only one year in which a QB was not selected during the first rounds of the NFL Draft
This year alone, three QB’s were picked during the first round: Jared Goff, Carson Wentz and Paxton Lynch.
We hope you enjoy the amazing sesason to come of this great sport!
Keep rolling ’till you find something you love…
