Is Football Season the Best Time of Year?

  • Thread starter Gale
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation is about the start of the football season and the excitement it brings. There is a discussion about teams and players, specifically the Packers vs 49ers game and Julio Jones on the Falcons. Some are also looking forward to the game between Roethlisberger and Manning, although there is some awkwardness seeing Manning in an orange jersey. Overall, the conversation is focused on enjoying good football without the drama of certain players.

Anyone watching football today??

For me its like the official start of the best time of year. Leaves are changing color, the weather is cooler, Sam Adams has put out Octoberfest, and every Sunday is football!

Its a gorgeous day here. Perfect for grilling and hanging out. Anyone else excited to have the season finally start up again? Any football traditions going on today? Who else is watching their team play today??

Broncos beating the Steelers was great!

Finally, just good football without all the drama (as in Jay Cutler, Kyle Orton, Tim Tebow, Brady Quinn, et al).

But I hate those orange jerseys.

The National Football League (NFL) was founded in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (APFA). It was renamed the NFL in 1922 and has since become the premier professional football league in the United States. The league has grown significantly over the years and now consists of 32 teams.

The NFL is divided into two conferences: the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). Each conference has four divisions: North, South, East, and West. Each division contains four teams, making a total of 16 teams in each conference and 32 teams in the league.

3. How does the NFL season work?

The NFL season typically runs from September to December, with each team playing 16 regular-season games. The top six teams from each conference then advance to the playoffs, leading up to the Super Bowl in February, where the AFC and NFC champions compete for the NFL championship.

In NFL games, teams can score points by scoring touchdowns (6 points), kicking field goals (3 points), or getting a safety (2 points). Extra points can also be earned after a touchdown (1 or 2 points). The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
