It's All About Being #1

The National Football League (NFL) is America's #1 favorite sport. It has a passionate fan base of 165 million fans that crowd to their televisions and the stadiums from September until January every year. The NFL is America's leader in sports leagues with teams competing collectively under the NFL brand. Like the NFL, FedEx is a market leader - but in the business of transportation, information, and logistics solutions. FedEx has teams that operate independently - five major operating companies: FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight, FedEx Kinko's FedEx Custom Critical, and FedEx Trade Networks.
