"If the NFL wins, the market goes up, otherwise, it takes a dive. What’s happened over the last thirty years? Well, most of the time, the NFL wins the Superbowl"

Standards of editing have really gone down over the years. The "NFL" always wins the Superbowl...



> The "NFL" always wins the Superbowl...

It does now, but it didn't always. Super Bowls III and IV were won by AFL teams (Jets & Chiefs) before the AFL/NFL merger in 1970. For several years after the merger, it was quite common (though technically incorrect) to call the newly created NFC & AFC "conferences" by their pre-merger acronyms.
