National Football League Expansion 1920-present [Ref: 1]

Note: Cleveland Rams were in AFL 1936 before moving over to the NFL in 1937. Cleveland Browms & San Francisco 49’ers were in AAFC (All-America Football Conference 1946-1949) before moving over to NFL in 1950. Baltimore Colts were in AAFC (1947-1949), before moving over to NFL in 1950, but folded in 1951, and were replaced by Dallas Texans (1952), who also folded and the were also replaced by a new team called the Baltimore Colts. The NFL terms each of these teams (Baltimore Colts 1947-1951, Dallas Texans 1952 & Baltimore Colts 1953 onwards) as separate teams.

Note 2: The AFL (American Football League) of 1960-1969 was so successful it merged with the NFL in 1970, and played the Super Bowl between the two Leagues since 1966. All of the teams added in 1960 (bar Dallas Cowboys & Minnesota Vikings) were originally mermbers of the AFL.

About

The North American Football League was a proposed Spring American Football League that was to begin play in 2016, with 8 teams, all located in the Eastern Half of the USA.

The Leagues owners, however, were arrested and charged with Grand Theft for taking $150,000 from an investor, without ever having the intention to start the League, according to prosecutors. The League never started in Spring 2016, and there was a no-show at its own try-outs.

Christopher White (46) and his wife, Tracy (47), from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, were charged by Bay County, Fla. deputees, with assistance from the Rutherford County Sheriff’s office, of theft of $100,000 from the victim, who had said she had begun a relationship with Christopher White in 2010, and he had convinced her to invest in the League and an associated production company.

About

The Spring Football League of 2000 was founded by Ex-NFL players Eric Dickerson (Los Angeles Rams), Bo Jackson (Los Angeles Raiders) Tony Dorsett (Dallas Cowboys) among others. It set a 4-team 4-game schedule for its first season in 2000, to test the waters for a full League and Schedule for 2001.

The first season, dubbed “Festival 2000” only lasted 2 of the 4 game weeks, and the planned Championship Game was scrapped, with the Houston Marshals and San Antonio Matdors, both unbeaten on 2-0 records, declared Co-Champions. The demise of the League was due to the founding of the XFL by the WWF – World Wide Wrestling (now WWE) owners, and the low attendances, more like Junior High School Games than a AAA Pro League.

About

The Professional Spring Football League was founded in November 1992, and set about replacing the World League of American Football (1991-1992) – the defunct National Football League Development League. It set a $2 Million salary cap for each team, with players to be paid $40,000 a season. Teams would have needed to have averaged 20,000 fans per game to break even.

It had no Media Coveragem Television deals or Radio Coverage in line for its first season, and originally planned a 10-team 16-game schedule, only for one of the teams, Miami Tribe to pull out before the season started. Rosters were cut to 60 players, to be set at 43 active players by the Season Start, and franchise fees were set at $250,000. February 29, 1993 was to be the Leagues Opening Game, but the League folded 10 days before the start of the season.

The American Football League of Europe replaced the PSFL & WLAF as the AAA League other than the Arena Football League in 1994, and would last 2 seasons, before the NFL brought back the WLAF as a 6-team Europe-only League in 1995 (From 1991 to 1992 it had been a 10 team League like the proposed PSFL – with 3 Teams in Europe, 1 in Canada and 6 in USA).

USFL Postseason Exhibition Game in London 1984 [Reference: 1]

Report

The United States Football League played a Postseason Exhibition game in London, England, on 21 July 1984, only a week after the Philadelphia Stars were crowned Champions. The Stars and the Bandits played an entertaining game for 21,000 English fans, with many of the starters rested after a long season, with fans only getting a glimpse of the Philadelphia outstanding Running Back, Kevin Bryant.

This offered lesser known players an opportunity to stake a claim on the following seasons starting lineup, and Tom Riordan, was one such player, completing 18 of 26 passes for 201 yards, 3 touchdowns, and only one interception.

Stars’ safety Scott Warner intercepted Jimmy Jordan’s pass in the endzone with 12 seconds remaining, to preserve the Stars 24-21 victory. It was a fitting climax to an entertaining game. [2]

About the USFL

The USFL was the “Outlaw League” setting up as a Major League Rival to the NFL, although playing a Spring-Summer Schedule rather than Fall-Winter. The infamous US President Donald Trump owned the New Jersey Generals in the USFL. It was spectacularly popular in terms of bums-on-seats but was kept off the airwaves by the collusion of the NFL with the 3 Major TV Networks, as was proven in the subsequent Anti-Trust Trial. The League failed financially as a result:
