  • The 1902 Oil City and Franklin, Pennsylvania Rivalry Scandal
    Those of you that heard our Early Pro Football series on the original NFL and the Football World Series know that that story was inspired by a 1980 PFRA article in the organization's Coffin Corner, most likely at least partially written by a great pro football historian Bob Carroll. This article was so deep that it is the inspiration for this week's Scandals and Scoundrels post and even next week's early football team story as we talk about Franklin and Oil City, Pennsylvania.
