The origins of football…a must read

If you’ve ever wondered how football morphed into the game it is today you should read this article. Really cool stuff that may actually make you a better fan. I recently saw an old movie on TCM about this Carlisle team with Burt Lancaster as Jim Thorpe, but the true story is far more exciting. Also, I am formally requesting that Terrence Wilkins run “The Hunchback” next year against the Jaguars.
