I learned something new doing some Football research a few weeks ago regarding franchise histories.
The Baltimore Colts originated in the old AAFC (All-American Football Conference) in the late 1940's, led by a young QB named Y.A. Tittle. In 1950 several of the AAFC teams were absorbed by the NFL, including the Colts. The Colts folded at the end of it's first season in the NFL. The team was disbanded, Y.A. Tittle went and played for the 49'ers. A few years later a completely new Baltimore Colts franchise was born in the NFL. I think my biggest shock was discovering about how little I had known about the AAFC, which played just as big a part in the formation of the present NFL, as the AFL would, a couple decades later.
