EPISODE SUMMARY

There were plenty of big names on those clubs from Sid Luckman to Bulldog Turner, to George McAfee, to Joe Stydahar, all of whom eventually found their way into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And there were several others such as Ken Kavanaugh and Hugh Gallarneau who enjoyed All-Pro seasons while helping the Bears dominate the NFL during the 1940s.

But our subject on this episode of “When Football Was Football” was neither voted into the Hall of Fame, nor was he a regular visitor to the All-Pro squad, although he was named to four Pro Bowls. His name was Raymond Robert Bray or Ray for short. However, those who played with him during those glory years for the Bears simply referred to him as “Muscles.”

WHEN FOOTBALL WAS FOOTBALL BACKGROUND

Each episode takes the listener back to the very early days of the National Football League. Author Joe Ziemba will share a forgotten or lost story from one of the NFL’s two oldest teams: The Bears and the Cardinals. Team championships, individual exploits, or long-buried items of interest from the earliest years of the NFL will be dusted off and resurrected for the listener. Not for the football faint-of-heart since these programs will document when the struggling Bears nearly went out of business or when Cardinals’ players earned $15 a game and were proud of it! It’s NFL history—with a twist!. See Joe's books below.

American football during the second Great War was one of the few escapes the Nation had from thinking about their loved ones far across the World fighting for freedom. Soldiers themselves played on the gridiron as part of their physical training, and they had produced some extremely good football teams. Let's peer in on one of these WWII miliatary elevens that made the crowds cheer.
