We celebrate Black History Month with the many “firsts” achieved by Fritz Pollard. Not only did Frederick Douglass Pollard come from a well-educated family, but he was perhaps the greatest early African American football player. In this episode, Fritz goes through early life in Chicago and plants a toe in nearly every Ivy League college before leading Brown University to the Rose Bowl and its greatest heights in 1916.
Return with END ZONE INSIGHT to more than 100 years ago when the American Professional Football Association was launched in a hot, crowded automobile dealership in Canton, Ohio.
Cold beer all around. Prohibition be damned. Long live the Hupmobile!
Long live the National Football League, which became the official name after two years operating under the rather clumsy APFA title. It’s not as if many sports fans noticed the name change because it would take many years for the pro league to catch on.
While famous college football coaches ripped the professionals for playing dirty and giving real sport of football, that is, the spirted, die-for-dear-old-Rutgers college boys a bad name.
Listen in to find out what REALLY happened to Ralph Hay—who hosted the early meetings at his Hupmobile dealership—Jim Thorpe, Joe Carr, the Massillon Tigers, Gus Dorais, the Staley Starchmakers, and George Stanley Halas. TAKE A DRINK!
For the sake of accurate information, END ZONE INSIGHT encourages a frat boy type of drinking game. That is, whenever you hear the name George Halas in any episode—and he pops up often—please take a good swallow of your favorite beverage.
Please don’t drink and drive. But, please seek out our podcast.
Eric Bieniemy better be an NFL head coach in 2020. Only two African American head coaches right now and Anthony Lynn might be fired by the Chargers.
Lamar Jackson has led the Ravens on an eleven game win streak and for the first time in franchise history they have the #1 seed in the AFC. Phenomenal season by Jackson and the Ravens.
Browns sure lived up to the hype. 6-9 and eliminated from the playoffs.
