For situations where you want to completely remove an app that came default with the phone, I found this method without rooting or special software.
Tested on Android 4.1 1 (jelly bean)
1. Go to preferences > application manager
2. I wanted to remove "nfl mobile", so I went All and found nfl.
3. Cleared it's cache, force stop, and disable
4. Once done, nfl did not show up in application manager or the Apps button
I think the only way to restore it would be to do a factory reset. So be careful and make sure you never plan to use that app.
Let me know what you guys think or find.
