For some reason, I was very very very confident that Jerome Bettis had only played for the Raiders. This is apparently completely false, and my whole life has been a lie :(

Why is it called "NFL Football"?

Wouldn't that be saying "National Football League Football"?

To distinguish it from college football, CFL football, FIFA football, or any other kind of football.
