Hi Angelo - welcome the English wikipedia. I'm not sure if you are aware, but there is also a Sicilian wikipedia (I'm a bureaucrat on it). Salutamu e a prestu. πίππύ δ'Ω∑ - (waarom? jus'b'coz!) 04:44, 21 August 2006 (UTC) ps if I'm not mistaken there was an article in the most recent edition of Arba Sicula on the Siculo-American (and Australian) mutual aid societies.
[edit] Good Question
Thanks for the good question surrounding the History of NFL Championships article. I know it seems confusing when the issue comes up about the situation of titles surrounding the first four super bowls. Since during the first four super bowls, the leagues were divided into two, the Super Bowl or AFL-NFL World Championship Game as it was known for the first two years, the winning team essentially won bragging rights, a cool trophy, and called themseleves the World Champion. Record books and the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Green Bay Packers website, and other sources state these facts, if the winning team won the NFL Championship and then the Super Bowl only the Super Bowl would be recognized as the team's championship that year. If the team lost the Super Bowl, then the official record books still record the NFL Championship as a league title. So in fact during those four years, there were two league champions, but only one world champion. That can be seen on the list toward the bottom of the screen. I believe that since the NFL name and history was retained and the AFL history added to it, this makes for a bit of confusing and termoil during the 60's and the NFL instead of discrediting all AFL reocrds and titles, it merged them into the NFL history books. This is why the league itself is divided into pre-merger and post-merger eras because essentially the league was reborn in 1970. Thanks for your question, and I understand your confusion as I myself do not understand the concept behind this. --Happyman22 14:29, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

- Hey thanks for the comments, and I'm sorry if it seemed like I disrespected the AFL. I have reworked that table a bit so if you would like to check it out and give some comments I would appreciate it. --Happyman22 04:49, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
