Something a little different... A beginners guide to all 32 NFL teams

With the football season in full swing, I have spent the last few days wondering what topic I could bestow my opinion upon, however if I'm honest I have felt that my heart has not really been in it. Indeed, I could have written about any number of things, from Klopp at Liverpool to Chelsea's poor form but in fact I have decided to try something a little different and talk about my second sporting love; American Football. However rather than try to explain the rules of this sport to the 100 people (most of which are English ) who will click on it, I have decided to provide a little information about each of the teams so that some of you who do not have a team ,can pick one. Also since at this moment in time I am quite ill, this blog will have very little literary content. Sorry
