Okay, cool. Champ's grumpiness wore off on me there for a spell. Later tonight I'll have another response to something he wrote, but I don't have the time right now for it.
How do you or anybody really know if he meant AFL when he typed AFC? Did he tell you that personally or is it just a stab in the dark attempting to defend his error? :jets:
We knew what he meant. Also, do some research. The merger was agreed to in 1966. I was too tired last night to explain the details of the agreement. I will do that this evening if nobody beats me to it.
The poster, jets4lyfah, was born 10+ years after the merger, so he's only known the AFC-NFC. It's an easy mistake to make, but if you feel better picking a nit, knock yourself out.
Yes do U think I am unaware that the merger itself was announced in 1966 & with the actual merger of the teams to take place for the season after SB4 was played? I am sure you are also aware that part of the merger terms was for Baltimore (Now Indy), Cleve (Now Balt) & Pitt agreed to leave the old NFL & join the AFC to make the amount of teams more/less evened out between the NFC & AFC :jets:
