Louisville (NFL)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Louisville, Kentucky had two professional American football teams in the National Football League: the Brecks from 1921 to 1923 and the Colonels in 1926.

The Brecks went out of business during the 1923 season after their home park burned down. The Brecks are the last team from the four major professional sports leagues of North America to play its home games in Kentucky.

The Colonels were created in 1926 to fill the schedules of the expanded NFL, but they were a road-only team that operated out of Chicago.
