The National Forgotten League: Entertaining Stories and Observations from Pro Football's First Fifty YearsThe first fifty years of America's most popular spectator sport have been strangely neglected by historians claiming to tell the "complete story" of pro football. Well, here are the early stories that "complete story" has left out. What about the awful secret carried around by Sid Luckman, the Bears' Hall of Fame quarterback whose father was a mobster and a murderer? Or Steve Hamas, who briefly played in the NFL then turned to boxing and beat Max
The first fifty years of America's most popular spectator sport have been strangely neglected by historians claiming to tell the "complete story" of pro football. Well, here are the early stories that "complete story" has left out. What about the awful secret carried around by Sid Luckman, the Bears' Hall of Fame quarterback whose father was a mobster and a murderer? Or Steve Hamas, who briefly played in the NFL then turned to boxing and beat Max Schmeling, conqueror of Joe Louis? Or the two one-armed players who suited up for NFL teams in 1945? Or Steelers owner Art Rooney postponing a game in 1938 because of injuries? These are just a few of the little-known facts Dan Daly unearths in recounting the untold history of pro football in its first half century. These decades were also full of ideas and experimentation, such as the invention of the modern T formation that revolutionized offense, unlimited player substitution, and soccer-style kicking, as well as the emergence of televised pro football as prime-time entertainment. Relying on obscure sources, original interviews, old game films and statistical databases, Daly's extensive research and engaging stories bring the NFL's formative years--and pro football's folk roots--to life.Binding Type: Paperback

Alternative Snack Option
Nice alternative to the stuff available at the local corner store. Will not win any taste awards. Portion size is excellent. Satiates the snack cravings. Odd after taste from one of the mix items. Confused by taste, is it old or odd!?

A nice snack
These are just salty enough, easy to pack, have a good taste and satisfy my need to crunch. They have a decent flavor too. I like them.

Very disappointed
I was really excited to receive these snack packs as someone who recently is doing keto. I was very disappointed that they have no flavor, not lightly salted or anything and were almost stale/soggy. Keto stuff is expensive and I’ve found some good nut mixes before, these just are not it and maybe sat too long?

"OK" taste
I was excited to try these but was disappointed when I did. They are "OK" taste wise..no bold flavors that is for sure. They will be nice on-the-go to throw in my purse but I wouldn't buy them again - not only because they taste rather bla but also because they were a but expensive.
