🏈 Going deep... into the history books

This Sunday, Feb. 9, Super Bowl LIX will kick off in New Orleans, pitting the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs against the NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles.
And while you might be in charge of the buffalo chicken dip or chicken wings this year, here’s a fun fact to you can also bring to your watch party: Louisville once had a team in the National Football League (NFL).
The Louisville Brecks competed in the NFL for three seasons, from 1921 to 1923.
When the Brecks joined the league, the franchise fee was a mere $25 — that’s ~$415 in today’s money. Compare that to the estimated value of the two teams taking part in Sunday’s big game, according to CNBC:
Philadelphia Eagles: $7 billion
Kansas City Chiefs: $6.07 billion
Bonus: Don’t forget, the big game will air on Fox this year. We’ve got a few places in mind where you can see it.
