Very nice article last month on the NFL's Columbus Panhandles, Joe Carr and Kathleen Rubadue. columbusnavigator.com/columb…

Columbus Panhandles: The Lunch-Break Team That Helped Launch The NFL

The Columbus Panhandles practiced on railroad lunch breaks, played in the NFL's first game and gave the league its first Columbus office. What the Nesser brothers left behind, and what still stands.

Cool story from @EGeitheim on Norm Van Brocklin’s single-game passing record, which was set 75 years ago today and somehow still stands si.com/nfl/rams/history-behi…

The History Behind a 75-Year-Old NFL Passing Record That Still Stands

Norm Van Brocklin’s single-game record of 554 passing yards was even more unlikely than most people realize.

I saw Lenny Moore every day in practice and in games for the Baltimore Colts. He might be the greatest combination of Running Back and Receiver I’ve ever seen. He would go wild in today’s game
