My personal pet peeve related to pro football is when the Super Bowl rolls around and they start saying the Steelers have won the most championships followed by the Cowboys and the 49ers. I realize these people are not that old but the Packers and the Bears have more titles than anyone else and yes football was played before the 1966 season.

I hear you Mike. Part of the problem is that the NFL itself doesn't embrace its history before the 1958 Colts / Giants NFL Championship. If the NFL doesn't do it, I don't know why the networks would either.
2020 will be the NFL's 100th anniversary. I'm curious to see how much of their history they will emphasize for that. I fully expect the 100th anniversary team to be filled with "newbies" too.
