However, there have been some special stories of players wearing a number per their request for meaningful reasons. In this edition, we will explore some fascinating stories as to why the number fits the player.

Larry Bird and Julius Erving had one of the most massive fights in NBA history. It was near the end of the 3rd quarter. Bird had 42 points and Erving only had 6 points. Bird was talking major trash to Erving and that led to a throw-down. Between the players and coaches, there were 11 Hall of Famers participating in this game, and they all got in on the fight...

YESTERDAY'S SPORTS BACKGROUND

The pass interference is one of the most game-changing enforcements in football. A spot foul in the NFL and a fifteen-yard walk-off at the lower levels have some serious consequences for offending teams. But what if you were told there was a time when interference was allowed and almost encouraged? Timothy P. Brown joins us to discuss a recent Football Archaeology TidBit on the Changes in Pass Interference.

EPISODE SUMMARY

Today we talk to friend of the show, and personal friend, Darin Hayes. Not only does he host two podcasts, he is now also an author of the book The World's Greatest Pro Gridiron Team: The 1903 Franklin All-Stars. Link in the show notes on where you can buy this book.

Darin is not only a great historian when it comes to football, he is also a great guy to talk to, and a guy who is enthusiastic about whatever he is doing. I hope you enjoy this interview and check out his book when you get the chance.

Who was the most dominant team in Pro Football history? The popular choices range from the 1972

Miami Dolphins and the 1948 Cleveland Browns, both undefeated champions of their respective leagues.

Other selections might be Lombardi’s Packers or even the ‘85 Chicago Bears. All of these are excellent.

candidates, but what if there was a team in mainstream professional football that excelled beyond any of those mentioned above?

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.

This book tells the story of a wealthy Pennsylvania town and the legendary mercenary players who carried out the mission to make Franklin the World’s Greatest Gridiron Team. It contains bonus links to additional audio content from Football Historians Ken Crippen, Joe Ziemba, and Timothy Brown.

ABOUT FOOTBALL IS FAMILY

Do you bleed your favorite football team’s colors each weekend? Does the difference of a W or L in the box score dictate how you respond for the rest of the week? Or do most of your conversations with your family and friends revolve around your favorite football team?

If you answered yes to any (or maybe all) of these questions, then you are in the right place. The host of this podcast truly believes that “Football Is Family” and he is on a mission to share the stories of other fans out there sharing how they have been touched by the greatest sport on Earth. Listen below to the trailer and learn more about the host and show.

HOST - JEREMY MCFARLIN

Growing up in Middle Tennessee, I didn’t have a pro football team that was close enough to me to feel a part of. My first memory of pro football was Super Bowl 22. I picked the Broncos to win, and, even though they didn’t win, I followed them from that point on.

John Elway was (and is) my favorite player. I have played as the Broncos on Tecmo Bowl, Tecmo Bowl Super Bowl, Madden, and 2K Sports. I fondly remember the moments when the Broncos won Super Bowls 32 and 33.

Around this time, the Oilers came to Tennessee. I was hooked. I finally had a team just down the road from my hometown of Bon Aqua. Oiler (and later Titans) mania hit this area. Jerseys, hats, footballs, merchandise, and several autographs later, I’m a Titans fan through and through.

It’s the dedication, the love, and the passion for football that helps me realize that football is family. Each fan base has a story, a history, and a love for their team. That’s what I want to talk about each and every podcast.

You can follow me @jeremy_mcfarlin. Message me if you want to share your reasons why your football team is family.
