The World's Greatest Pro Gridiron Team: The 1903 Franklin All-Stars. got closer to a perfect season in American football than anyone else in the sport’s professional history. A young merchant constructed the team in revenge for gambling losses and went undefeated, unscored upon, with opponents crossing the midfield stripe only twice and had an offense more productive than the famed collegiate point-a-minute teams.

Special Thanks to our dear friend Author R.C.Christiansen, who wrote the brilliant gridiron books of  The Border Boys and Mill City Scrum . R.C. came up with the idea to host the show and ask me questions about the book, and we appreciate him.
