Just read the NFL article on wikipedia - a bit more complex than our 
football league system (20 teams, play everyone twice, most points 
wins). I only really have one question that I couldn't see the answer 
to, what is the system for bringing up teams into the NFL that aren't 
there already? Is there a kind of "2nd tier" NFL where the winners get a 
chance to playoff with the people at the bottom of the NFL divisons for 
a place next season?
