12. Which Major League Baseball team has had its current name the longest time?
The Philadelphia Phillies have been known by that name exclusively since 1890. Second is the Pittsburgh Pirates since 1891
The Cincinnati Reds would have tied the Phillies with 1890....but, in the 50s during the "Red Scare", they changed their name to the Redlegs...and that cut them off from the longest continuous name.
And FYI....for the NFL, it is the Green Bay Packers. They joined the NFL in its second year of existance in 1921. For that 1921 season the Chicago team was still The Staleys. They became the Bears in 1922. The Cardinals name has been used since 1920....but of course they have been from Chicago to St. Louis to Arizona, so that part of the name has changed.
In basketball....it is The New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics, both in use in the original 1946-47 NBA season.
In hockey, it is the Montreal Canadiens.....in use continuously since the original NHL season of 1916-17

Long way to go with them though. Hell, the best "young" TD scorer in this group is QB Cam Newton.
Nice to have a force like that down at the goal line.

That plus the league's continuing shift away from an emphasis on the run.
