This is a fascinating watch for the history of the NFL. I never knew there was a team in KC before the Texans moved here. The Kansas City Blue, changed to the Kansas City Cowboys.

Anyway, a good waste of 30 minutes.

Why would anyone watch a 30-minute video on NFL history when we can just read a Ubeja thread?

I always start at the beginning if the interest is there.

Hard to beat boxing when talking history and sports.

Something else that is interesting is pro football pre NFL.

Everybody knows all about Jimmy Brown*****, what has been lost in the legend is how he had a dynamic RB beside him, Brown was a FB.

Bobby Mitchell was a Big10 100/110hh Champ while at Illinois. The classic Thunder & Lightning (just not the first).

Paul Brown wanted Heisman winner Ernie Davis to pair with Brown but the Redskins had the first pick, so....a trade was in order, Bobby Mitchell to Washington for the rights to Ernie Davis (not as good as Mitchell). Mitchell was switched to WR, he is in the HOF.

Ernie Davis died from Lukemia.

So who replaced Jim Brown.....

.....like Mitchell, he is in the HOF.

***** it reads....Jimmy....on his rookie card, one of my prized possesions.
