“Louisville is a place with no labels. It’s not the South, it’s not Chicago, and you don’t think of it as you think of New York or LA. It has some Southern romanticism to it, but also a Northern progressivism, this weird urban island in the middle of the state of Kentucky that has always provided a fertile, often dark, bed. For us, Louisville and the surrounding areas are the center of massive creativity and massive weirdness.” –Jim James

He never made the headlines, but Duane Martin was everything to Louisville Football. From pancaking defenders for two NFL backs to tearing his quad mid-fake punt and finishing the game — this is the raw, hilarious, and emotional story of the fullback who defined heart and hustle.
