My claim to fame (LOL): My grandfather (played at the University of Detroit) was in Ripley’s “Believe it or not” because in 1927 he “threw a forward pass - 55 yards in the air!”
Back in 1927, the football was more oval shaped and it was unheard of to throw it so far.

I loved “Leather Heads” don’t know how factual it was (don’t go to the movies for historical facts) but it was great comic football I guess as played way back then.

“Brutality in playing a game should awaken the heartiest and most plainly shown contempt for the player guilty of it.”Teddy obviously wasn't a Titans fan.

Does anyone know whether or not the drop kick is still allowed by the rules?(Not that anyone would kick one.)

Was it Knute Rockne who said, “Three things can happen on a foward pass, two of them bad”?

Not surprised that Roosevelt was sticking his Presidential nose into things he had no business dealing with.
