  • Summary

  • While Jim Thorpe helped resuscitate the pro game on the field, the loose affiliation of teams were still in desperate need of organization and legitimacy. With an ever-changing number of self-interested owners, competing for ticket sales and victory at all costs, they needed a new sheriff who could come in and impose order. The man who stepped up was too small to play the game himself, but future league President Joe Carr had a dream big enough to unite football’s early warring owners into what would one day become the NFL.

If you’re really a fan of the game

There is so much to be learned about the history of the game. This episode in particular, and the series, in general, may be a little much if you’re a fan of only one team, or a few star players. If, however, you want to understand how and why the game is what it is today, read this.
