  Yeah,

  thanks,

  Darren.
• 2:19
  I
• 2:19
  always
• 2:20
  enjoy
• 2:20
  being
• 2:20
  in
• 2:20
  the
• 2:21
  Pig
• 2:21
  Pen.
• 2:21
  I've
• 2:22
  told
• 2:22
  you
• 2:22
  once,
• 2:22
  I'll
• 2:22
  tell
• 2:23
  you
• 2:23
  a
• 2:23
  million
• 2:23
  times,
• 2:23
  any
• 2:24
  day
• 2:24
  we
• 2:24
  can
• 2:24
  talk
• 2:24
  football
• 2:25
  history.
• 2:25
  We're
• 2:25
  having
• 2:25
  a
• 2:26
  great
• 2:26
  day,
• 2:27
  right?
• 2:27
  And
• 2:27
  we
• 2:28
  get
• 2:28
  to
• 2:28
  talk
• 2:28
  a
• 2:29
  couple.
• 2:29
  The
• 2:29
  two
• 2:30
  of
• 2:30
  these
• 2:30
  three
• 2:30
  are
• 2:31
  very
• 2:31
  Steelers
• 2:32
  oriented.
• 2:34
  The
• 2:34
  first
• 2:34
  one
• 2:34
  goes
• 2:35
  a
• 2:35
  little
• 2:35
  bit
• 2:35
  before
• 2:35
  them.
• 2:35
  But
• 2:36
  maybe
• 2:37
  if
• 2:37
  you
• 2:37
  want
• 2:37
  to,
• 2:37
  you
• 2:38
  know,
• 2:38
  maybe
• 2:39
  introduce
• 2:39
  our
• 2:40
  first
• 2:40
  one
• 2:40
  and
• 2:40
  tell
• 2:41
  us
• 2:41
  a
• 2:41
  little
• 2:41
  bit
• 2:41
  about
• 2:41
  this
• 2:42
  event.
• 2:43
  Yeah,
• 2:43
  absolutely.
• 2:44
  So,
• 2:45
  honestly,
• 2:45
  I
• 2:45
  think
• 2:45
  what
• 2:46
  we
• 2:46
  need
• 2:46
  to
• 2:46
  start
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  petition
• 2:47
  for
• 2:47
  first
• 2:47
  is
• 2:48
  for
• 2:48
  November
• 2:48
  12th
• 2:49
  to
• 2:49
  be
• 2:49
  a
• 2:49
  sports
• 2:49
  holiday
• 2:50
  in
• 2:50
  Pittsburgh.
• 2:52
  We
• 2:52
  need
• 2:52
  to
• 2:52
  start
• 2:52
  that
• 2:52
  one
• 2:53
  first.
• 2:53
  So
• 2:54
  we
• 2:54
  could
• 2:54
  extend
• 2:54
  it
• 2:54
  to
• 2:54
  whole
• 2:55
  western
• 2:55
  Pennsylvania.
• 2:55
  So
• 2:56
  I
• 2:56
  get
• 2:56
  the
• 2:56
  day
• 2:56
  off,
• 2:56
  too.
• 2:57
  That'd
• 2:57
  be.
• 2:57
  So
• 2:58
  we
• 2:58
  get
• 2:58
  up
• 2:58
  here
• 2:58
  in
• 2:58
  Erie,
• 2:59
  too.
• 2:59
  So
• 3:00
  perfect.
• 3:00
  It
• 3:00
  all
• 3:00
  counts.
• 3:01
  It's
• 3:01
  all
• 3:01
  part
• 3:01
  of
• 3:01
  the
• 3:02
  program.
• 3:02
  So
• 3:03
  dating
• 3:03
  back
• 3:04
  before
• 3:04
  the
• 3:05
  Steelers
• 3:05
  and.
• 3:05
  And
• 3:06
  well
• 3:06
  before
• 3:06
  the
• 3:06
  National
• 3:07
  Football
• 3:07
  League,
• 3:07
  November
• 3:08
  12
• 3:08
  holds
• 3:09
  a
• 3:09
  significance
• 3:10
  as
• 3:10
  kind
• 3:10
  of
• 3:10
  the
• 3:11
  birth
• 3:11
  of
• 3:11
  professional
• 3:12
  football.
• 3:13
  William
• 3:13
  Pudge,
• 3:14
  he,
• 3:14
  which
• 3:15
  I'm
• 3:15
  sure
• 3:15
  a
• 3:15
  name
• 3:16
  that
• 3:16
  NFL
• 3:17
  historians
• 3:17
  are
• 3:18
  well
• 3:18
  aware
• 3:18
  of,
• 3:19
  but
• 3:19
  for
• 3:20
  fans
• 3:20
  who
• 3:20
  may
• 3:20
  not
• 3:20
  know,
• 3:21
  Pledge
• 3:21
  was
• 3:21
  the
• 3:21
  first
• 3:22
  paid
• 3:22
  professional
• 3:23
  football
• 3:23
  player.
• 3:24
  He
• 3:25
  was
• 3:25
  paid
• 3:25
  by
• 3:25
  the
• 3:25
  Allegheny
• 3:26
  Athletic
• 3:26
  association.
• 3:27
  He
• 3:27
  was
• 3:28
  paid
• 3:28
  $500
• 3:29
  to
• 3:30
  be
• 3:30
  the
• 3:30
  first
• 3:30
  professional
• 3:31
  football
• 3:31
  player.
• 3:32
  Now,
• 3:32
  the
• 3:32
  caveat
• 3:33
  to
• 3:33
  that
• 3:33
  being,
• 3:34
  that
• 3:34
  is
• 3:35
  that
• 3:35
  we
• 3:35
  didn't
• 3:35
  know
• 3:36
  that
• 3:36
  until
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  1960s.
• 3:38
  It
• 3:38
  was
• 3:38
  often
• 3:39
  accepted
• 3:39
  that
• 3:39
  John
• 3:39
  Brower
• 3:40
  Braylor,
• 3:41
  I
• 3:41
  think
• 3:41
  Braulier,
• 3:42
  I
• 3:43
  always
• 3:43
  struggle
• 3:43
  with
• 3:43
  that.
• 3:43
  I
• 3:44
  don't
• 3:44
  think
• 3:44
  I've
• 3:44
  ever
• 3:44
  actually
• 3:44
  said
• 3:45
  it
• 3:45
  out
• 3:45
  loud.
• 3:46
  But
• 3:47
  was
• 3:48
  the
• 3:49
  Latrobe
• 3:49
  Historical
• 3:50
  Society
• 3:50
  where
• 3:50
  he
• 3:51
  is
• 3:51
  from
• 3:51
  and
• 3:51
  where
• 3:51
  he
• 3:52
  played,
• 3:52
  they
• 3:52
  call
• 3:53
  him
• 3:53
  Brailer.
• 3:53
  So
• 3:54
  Brailer,
• 3:55
  perfect.
• 3:56
  I
• 3:56
  will
• 3:57
  trust
• 3:57
  them
• 3:57
  because
• 3:57
  they're
• 3:58
  going
• 3:58
  to
• 3:58
  know
• 3:58
  better
• 3:58
  than
• 3:58
  me.
• 3:59
  They
• 3:59
  probably
• 3:59
  said
• 3:59
  it
• 4:00
  out
• 4:00
  loud.
• 4:01
  So.
• 4:02
  So
• 4:02
  John
• 4:02
  Brailer
• 4:04
  was
• 4:04
  often
• 4:04
  considered
• 4:05
  the
• 4:05
  first
• 4:06
  football
• 4:06
  player.
• 4:07
  And
• 4:07
  the
• 4:08
  thing
• 4:08
  that
• 4:08
  I
• 4:08
  always
• 4:08
  find
• 4:09
  funny
• 4:09
  about
• 4:09
  that
• 4:09
  is
• 4:09
  the
• 4:10
  difference
• 4:10
  of
• 4:10
  the
• 4:10
  money
• 4:11
  because
• 4:12
  pledge
• 4:12
  obviously
• 4:13
  being
• 4:13
  paid
• 4:14
  $500
• 4:15
  and
• 4:15
  Brailer
• 4:16
  was
• 4:16
  paid
• 4:16
  $10
• 4:16
  plus
• 4:17
  expenses
• 4:17
  for
• 4:18
  his
• 4:18
  services.
• 4:19
  So
• 4:20
  I
• 4:21
  would
• 4:21
  kind
• 4:21
  of
• 4:21
  hate
• 4:21
  to
• 4:22
  find
• 4:22
  that
• 4:22
  out
• 4:22
  so
• 4:22
  many
• 4:23
  years
• 4:23
  later
• 4:23
  that
• 4:23
  I
• 4:24
  was
• 4:24
  not
• 4:24
  $490
• 4:26
  more
• 4:26
  expensive
• 4:27
  for,
• 4:27
  for
• 4:27
  what
• 4:27
  I
• 4:27
  was
• 4:28
  doing.
• 4:28
  But
• 4:29
  it
• 4:29
  is
• 4:29
  a
• 4:30
  very
• 4:30
  significant
• 4:31
  day
• 4:31
  because
• 4:32
  what
• 4:32
  we
• 4:32
  know
• 4:32
  today,
• 4:33
  although
• 4:34
  it
• 4:34
  looked
• 4:34
  much
• 4:34
  different
• 4:35
  in
• 4:35
  1892,
• 4:36
  this
• 4:36
  is
• 4:37
  the
• 4:37
  day
• 4:37
  that
• 4:37
  we
• 4:37
  should
• 4:37
  celebrate
• 4:38
  as
• 4:38
  the
• 4:38
  birth
• 4:38
  of
• 4:39
  pro
• 4:39
  football.
• 4:40
  Thank
• 4:40
  you
• 4:40
  to
• 4:40
  Punch
• 4:41
  Heffelfinger
• 4:41
  for

  accepting
• 4:42
  that
• 4:42
  money.
• 4:44
  Yeah,
• 4:44
  he,
• 4:45
  he
• 4:45
  was
• 4:45
  a
• 4:46
  big
• 4:46
  time
• 4:47
  star.
• 4:47
  You
• 4:47
  know,
• 4:47
  as

• 4:48
  football
• 4:49
  was
• 4:49
  K,
• 4:50
  you
• 4:51
  know,
• 4:51
  when
• 4:51
  its
• 4:51
  inception,
• 4:52
  basically
• 4:52
  the
• 4:53
  early
• 4:53
  1880s
• 4:54
  when
• 4:54
  it
• 4:54
  really
• 4:55
  became
• 4:55
  recognizable
• 4:56
  as
• 4:56
  football
• 4:56
  with
• 4:56
  some
• 4:57
  of
• 4:57
  the
• 4:57
  football
• 4:57
  codes
• 4:57
  being
• 4:58
  changed
• 4:58
  all
• 4:59
  the
• 4:59
  way
• 4:59
  through,
• 5:00
  you
• 5:00
  know,
• 5:00
  the
• 5:00
  1958
• 5:01
  greatest
• 5:02
  game
• 5:02
  ever
• 5:02
  played,
• 5:03
  I
• 5:03
  guess
• 5:03
  you
• 5:04
  could
• 5:04
  even
• 5:04
  say
• 5:04
  when
• 5:04
  television
• 5:05
  came
• 5:05
  out,
• 5:05
  college
• 5:06
  football
• 5:06
  by
• 5:06
  far
• 5:06
  was
• 5:07
  king.
• 5:07
  Pudge
• 5:08
  Heffelfinger
• 5:09
  was
• 5:09
  the
• 5:09
  face
• 5:10
  of
• 5:10
  college
• 5:10
  football
• 5:10
  in
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  1880s,
• 5:12
  late
• 5:13
  1880s,
• 5:13
  early
• 5:14
  1890s.
• 5:15
  And
• 5:15
  to
• 5:16
  get
• 5:16
  a
• 5:16
  star
• 5:17
  like
• 5:17
  that
• 5:17
  who
• 5:18
  was
• 5:18
  a
• 5:18
  tackle
• 5:19
  and
• 5:19
  you
• 5:19
  know,
• 5:19
  today
• 5:20
  we
• 5:20
  think
• 5:20
  of,
• 5:20
  you
• 5:20
  know,
• 5:21
  left
• 5:21
  tackles
• 5:21
  being
• 5:21
  really
• 5:22
  high
• 5:22
  paid
• 5:23
  people.
• 5:23
  The
• 5:23
  tackles,
• 5:24
  you
• 5:24
  know,
• 5:24
  they
• 5:25
  could
• 5:25
  run
• 5:25
  the
• 5:25
  ball,
• 5:25
  they
• 5:26
  had
• 5:26
  the
• 5:26
  tackles
• 5:26
  back
• 5:27
  formations
• 5:27
  and
• 5:28
  these
• 5:28
  guys
• 5:29
  were
• 5:29
  studs
• 5:29
  not
• 5:29
  only
• 5:30
  as
• 5:30
  blockers
• 5:30
  and
• 5:31
  tacklers,
• 5:31
  but
• 5:31
  you
• 5:32
  know,
• 5:32
  they
• 5:32
  could
• 5:32
  run
• 5:32
  the
• 5:32
  ball
• 5:33
  as
• 5:33
  well.
• 5:33
  And
• 5:34
  you
• 5:34
  know,
• 5:34
  Pudge
• 5:34
  Heffelfinger
• 5:35
  was
• 5:35
  a
• 5:35
  big
• 5:35
  name
• 5:36
  to
• 5:36
  be
• 5:36
  signed.
• 5:36
  So
• 5:37
  he
• 5:37
  demanded
• 5:38
  big
• 5:38
  money.
• 5:38
  That's
• 5:38
  why
• 5:39
  he
• 5:39
  got
• 5:39
  $490
• 5:40
  more
• 5:40
  than
• 5:40
  Brailer
• 5:41
  got
• 5:41
  a
• 5:41
  few
• 5:42
  years
• 5:42
  later.
• 5:42
  I
• 5:43
  do
• 5:43
  also
• 5:43
  find
• 5:43
  it
• 5:44
  funny
• 5:44
  that
• 5:44
  with
• 5:44
  all
• 5:44
  the
• 5:45
  competition
• 5:45
  in
• 5:45
  Pittsburgh,
• 5:46
  obviously
• 5:47
  there's
• 5:47
  the,
• 5:47
  the
• 5:48
  early
• 5:48
  Pittsburgh
• 5:48
  Athletic
• 5:49
  Club,
• 5:50
  Allegheny
• 5:50
  Athletic
• 5:51
  association,
• 5:51
  but
• 5:51
  the
• 5:52
  sandlot
• 5:52
  teams
• 5:52
  of
• 5:52
  the
• 5:53
  20s.
• 5:53
  The
• 5:54
  competition
• 5:54
  in
• 5:54
  Pittsburgh
• 5:55
  has
• 5:55
  always
• 5:55
  been
• 5:56
  fierce.
• 5:57
  There's
• 5:57
  always
• 5:57
  a
• 5:58
  rivalry
• 5:58
  when
• 5:58
  those
• 5:59
  Pittsburgh
• 5:59
  teams
• 5:59
  were
• 6:00
  playing
• 6:00
  each
• 6:00
  other.
• 6:01
  You
• 6:01
  could
• 6:01
  even
• 6:02
  equate
• 6:02
  that
• 6:02
  to
• 6:03
  the
• 6:03
  college
• 6:03
  game
• 6:03
  with
• 6:04
  like
• 6:04
  Pittsburgh
• 6:04
  and
• 6:04
  duquesne
• 6:05
  and
• 6:05
  the
• 6:05
  20s
• 6:06
  and
• 6:06
  30s.
• 6:07
  There's
• 6:07
  always
• 6:08
  that
• 6:08
  crosstown
• 6:09
  rivalry
• 6:09
  and
• 6:10
  it's
• 6:10
  so
• 6:10
  funny
• 6:10
  to
• 6:11
  read
• 6:11
  the
• 6:11
  accounts
• 6:12
  of
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  Pittsburgh
• 6:12
  Athletic
• 6:13
  Club
• 6:13
  saying,
• 6:13
  were
• 6:14
  you
• 6:14
  paid
• 6:14
  players?
• 6:15
  No,
• 6:15
  we
• 6:15
  didn't.
• 6:16
  Only
• 6:16
  to
• 6:16
  find
• 6:16
  out
• 6:17
  some
• 6:17
  60
• 6:17
  years
• 6:18
  later
• 6:18
  that
• 6:18
  we
• 6:19
  paid
• 6:19
  a
• 6:19
  large
• 6:19
  sum
• 6:20
  of
• 6:20
  money
• 6:20
  so
• 6:20
  we
• 6:20
  could
• 6:21
  beat
• 6:21
  you.
• 6:22
  Now,
• 6:22
  there
• 6:22
  was
• 6:23
  rumors,
• 6:23
  okay,
• 6:24
  so
• 6:24
  the.
• 6:24
  He.
• 6:25
  Pudge
• 6:25
  actually
• 6:26
  ended
• 6:26
  up
• 6:26
  playing
• 6:26
  for
• 6:26
  the
• 6:27
  Allegheny
• 6:27
  Athletic
• 6:28
  Club.
• 6:28
  The.
• 6:28
  The
• 6:28
  Triple
• 6:29
  A,
• 6:29
  they
• 6:29
  call
• 6:29
  themselves.
• 6:30
  The
• 6:30
  game
• 6:31
  they
• 6:31
  were
• 6:31
  playing
• 6:31
  was
• 6:32
  against
• 6:32
  the
• 6:32
  Pittsburgh
• 6:33
  Athletic
• 6:33
  Club,
• 6:33
  the
• 6:33
  paa,
• 6:34
  but
• 6:34
  there
• 6:35
  was
• 6:35
  rumors
• 6:35
  that
• 6:36
  the
• 6:36
  PAA
• 6:36
  was
• 6:37
  trying
• 6:37
  to
• 6:37
  sign
• 6:37
  Pudge
• 6:38
  also.
• 6:39
  And
• 6:39
  they
• 6:39
  got
• 6:40
  in
• 6:40
  a
• 6:40
  bidding
• 6:40
  war,
• 6:40
  and,
• 6:41
  you
• 6:41
  know,
• 6:41
  Pudge
• 6:41
  finally
• 6:42
  said,
• 6:42
  okay,
• 6:42
  you're
• 6:42
  giving
• 6:42
  me
• 6:43
  500
• 6:43
  bucks.
• 6:43
  I'm
• 6:43
  going
• 6:43
  with
• 6:44
  you
• 6:44
  guys,
• 6:44
  and
• 6:44
  went
• 6:44
  with
• 6:44
  Allegheny,
• 6:45
  and
• 6:46
  rest
• 6:46
  is
• 6:46
  history.
• 6:47
  So
• 6:47
  pretty,
• 6:47
  pretty
• 6:47
  cool
• 6:48
  there,
• 6:48
  too.
• 6:48
  So
• 6:49
  we
• 6:49
  also
• 6:49
  need
• 6:49
  to
• 6:49
  give
• 6:49
  him
• 6:50
  credit
• 6:50
  for
• 6:50
  being
• 6:50
  the
• 6:50
  first
• 6:51
  free
• 6:51
  agent
• 6:52
  of
• 6:52
  professional
• 6:52
  football
• 6:53
  history.
• 6:53
  Right?
• 6:53
  All
• 6:54
  right.
• 6:54
  All
• 6:54
  right.
• 6:55
  Yeah,
• 6:56
  most
• 6:56
  definitely.
• 6:57
  It's
• 6:57
  kind
• 6:57
  of
• 6:58
  neat
• 6:58
  how
• 6:58
  that
• 6:59
  story
• 6:59
  broke,
• 7:00
  too.
• 7:00
  Now,
• 7:02
  maybe
• 7:02
  you
• 7:02
  can
• 7:02
  correct
• 7:02
  me
• 7:03
  on
• 7:03
  it
• 7:03
  if
• 7:03
  I'm
• 7:03
  wrong,
• 7:04
  but
• 7:04
  the
• 7:04
  basic
• 7:05
  gist
• 7:05
  of
• 7:05
  it
• 7:05
  is,
• 7:06
  you
• 7:06
  know,
• 7:06
  Brailer
• 7:07
  was
• 7:07
  the
• 7:07
  by
• 7:08
  far
• 7:08
  accepted
• 7:08
  way,
• 7:09
  you
• 7:09
  know,
• 7:10
  in
• 7:10
  Latrobe,
• 7:10
  which
• 7:11
  is
• 7:11
  not
• 7:11
  far
• 7:11
  from
• 7:12
  Pittsburgh,
• 7:12
  it's
• 7:12
  like
• 7:13
  40
• 7:13
  minutes
• 7:13
  away
• 7:13
  from
• 7:13
  downtown
• 7:14
  Pittsburgh.
• 7:15
  And,
• 7:15
  you
• 7:16
  know,
• 7:16
  and
• 7:16
  Latrobe
• 7:16
  would
• 7:17
  play
• 7:17
  against
• 7:17
  these
• 7:17
  Pittsburgh
• 7:18
  Athletic
• 7:19
  Clubs
• 7:19
  and
• 7:21
  Allegheny
• 7:21
  Athletic
• 7:22
  clubs,
• 7:22
  too,
• 7:22
  in
• 7:23
  later
• 7:23
  years,
• 7:23
  play
• 7:23
  against
• 7:23
  some
• 7:23
  of
• 7:24
  the
• 7:24
  other
• 7:24
  clubs.
• 7:24
  But
• 7:26
  the.
• 7:26
  It
• 7:26
  was,
• 7:26
  you
• 7:27
  know,
• 7:27
  60
• 7:27
  some
• 7:27
  years
• 7:28
  later,
• 7:28
  they.
• 7:29
  Somebody
• 7:30
  brought
• 7:30
  a
• 7:30
  document,
• 7:31
  and
• 7:31
  I
• 7:31
  think
• 7:31
  it
• 7:31
  was
• 7:32
  to
• 7:32
  one
• 7:32
  of
• 7:32
  the
• 7:32
  Rooneys
• 7:33
  and
• 7:34
  laid
• 7:34
  it
• 7:34
  down
• 7:34
  and
• 7:35
  sort
• 7:35
  of
• 7:36
  didn't
• 7:36
  want
• 7:36
  to
• 7:37
  have
• 7:37
  his
• 7:37
  name
• 7:37
  said
• 7:38
  or
• 7:38
  anything.
• 7:38
  Just
• 7:38
  sort
• 7:38
  of
• 7:39
  left
• 7:39
  a
• 7:39
  whole
• 7:40
  box
• 7:40
  of
• 7:40
  papers,
• 7:41
  I
• 7:41
  guess,
• 7:41
  and
• 7:41
  this
• 7:41
  was
• 7:41
  one
• 7:42
  of
• 7:42
  them,
• 7:42
  this
• 7:42
  ledger
• 7:43
  from
• 7:43
  the
• 7:44
  Allegheny
• 7:44
  Athletic
• 7:45
  Club
• 7:45
  that
• 7:45
  had
• 7:46
  William
• 7:46
  Heffelfinger,
• 7:48
  500
• 7:48
  bucks
• 7:48
  on
• 7:49
  that
• 7:50
  date
• 7:50
  of
• 7:50
  November
• 7:51
  12,
• 7:51
  19
• 7:52
  or
• 7:52
  1892.
• 7:53
  So
• 7:53
  kind
• 7:53
  of
• 7:53
  coming
• 7:54
  a
• 7:54
  cool
• 7:54
  story
• 7:54
  there,
• 7:55
  too.
• 7:56
  Yeah,
• 7:56
  no,
• 7:56
  you're
• 7:56
  absolutely
• 7:57
  right.
• 7:57
  And
• 7:57
  I
• 7:58
  think
• 7:58
  it's
• 7:58
  funny
• 7:58
  that
• 7:58
  when
• 7:59
  you.
• 7:59
  When
• 7:59
  you
• 7:59
  think
• 7:59
  of
• 7:59
  kind
• 8:00
  of
• 8:00
  the
• 8:00
  history
• 8:00
  of
• 8:01
  Pittsburgh
• 8:01
  football,
• 8:02
  that
• 8:02
  even
• 8:03
  the
• 8:03
  discovery
• 8:04
  of
• 8:04
  the
• 8:04
  first
• 8:04
  player
• 8:05
  ties
• 8:05
  back
• 8:05
  to
• 8:06
  the
• 8:06
  Rooneys,
• 8:06
  because
• 8:06
  everybody
• 8:07
  equates
• 8:07
  the
• 8:07
  Rooneys
• 8:08
  with
• 8:08
  Pittsburgh
• 8:09
  and
• 8:09
  football,
• 8:09
  and
• 8:10
  they
• 8:10
  have
• 8:10
  such
• 8:10
  a
• 8:10
  deep,
• 8:11
  deep
• 8:11
  history
• 8:11
  in.
• 8:11
  And
• 8:12
  I
• 8:12
  know
• 8:12
  they
• 8:12
  weren't
• 8:12
  there
• 8:12
  for
• 8:13
  the
• 8:13
  actual
• 8:13
  beginning
• 8:14
  with
• 8:14
  Heffelfinger
• 8:15
  in
• 8:15
  Brailer,
• 8:16
  but
• 8:16
  at
• 8:16
  the
• 8:17
  same
• 8:17
  point,
• 8:17
  they.
• 8:17
  They
• 8:18
  have
• 8:18
  such
• 8:18
  a
• 8:18
  deep
• 8:18
  connection
• 8:19
  to
• 8:20
  it
• 8:20
  that
• 8:20
  it
• 8:20
  even
• 8:20
  goes
• 8:21
  back
• 8:21
  to
• 8:21
  them
• 8:21
  finding
• 8:22
  out
• 8:22
  who
• 8:22
  the
• 8:22
  first
• 8:22
  player
• 8:22
  was.
• 8:23
  So
• 8:23
  I.
• 8:23
  I
• 8:23
  do.
• 8:24
  I
• 8:24
  do
• 8:24
  like
• 8:24
  that
• 8:25
  story,
• 8:25
  But
• 8:26
  I
• 8:26
  think
• 8:26
  John
• 8:26
  Brer
• 8:27
  also
• 8:27
  deserves
• 8:27
  credit.
• 8:28
  I
• 8:28
  know
• 8:28
  he's
• 8:28
  not
• 8:28
  the.
• 8:29
  The
• 8:29
  feature
• 8:29
  of
• 8:29
  this
• 8:29
  day,
• 8:31
  but
• 8:31
  for
• 8:31
  the
• 8:31
  longest
• 8:32
  time,
• 8:32
  we
• 8:32
  did
• 8:33
  accept
• 8:33
  him,
• 8:33
  too.
• 8:34
  And
• 8:34
  in
• 8:34
  my
• 8:34
  mind,
• 8:35
  also
• 8:35
  says
• 8:36
  that
• 8:36
  we
• 8:36
  have
• 8:36
  vastly
• 8:37
  underrated
• 8:38
  what
• 8:38
  Dave
• 8:38
  Barry
• 8:39
  did
• 8:39
  for
• 8:39
  professional
• 8:39
  football,
• 8:40
  too.
• 8:41
  No,
• 8:41
  most
• 8:42
  definitely.
• 8:42
  Most
• 8:43
  definitely.
• 8:44
  My
• 8:44
  first
• 8:45
  book
• 8:45
  was
• 8:45
  on
• 8:45
  a
• 8:46
  1903
• 8:46
  team
• 8:47
  from
• 8:47
  Franklin,
• 8:48
  and
• 8:48
  that
• 8:49
  was
• 8:49
  sort
• 8:49
  of
• 8:49
  the
• 8:49
  end
• 8:50
  of
• 8:50
  Pennsylvania's
• 8:52
  run
• 8:52
  at
• 8:52
  pro
• 8:53
  football
• 8:53
  in
• 8:53
  the
• 8:53
  early
• 8:54
  years
• 8:54
  until
• 8:55
  basically
• 8:55
  1933,
• 8:57
  which
• 8:57
  we'll
• 8:57
  talk
• 8:57
  about
• 8:58
  here
• 8:58
  in
• 8:58
  a
• 8:58
  little
• 8:58
  bit.
• 8:59
  You
• 8:59
  know,
• 8:59
  the
• 9:00
  resurgence
• 9:00
  of
• 9:01
  football
• 9:01
  in
• 9:01
  Western
• 9:01
  Pennsylvania.
• 9:02
  But
• 9:02
  Western
• 9:03
  Pennsylvania
• 9:03
  owned
• 9:05
  pro
• 9:05
  football
• 9:06
  from
• 9:06
  1892
• 9:07
  right
• 9:08
  up
• 9:08
  through
• 9:08
  1903.
• 9:09
  And
• 9:09
  that
• 9:10
  Franklin
• 9:10
  team
• 9:10
  that
• 9:10
  I
• 9:11
  wrote
• 9:11
  about
• 9:11
  bought
• 9:12
  out
• 9:12
  everybody.
• 9:13
  The
• 9:14
  Dave
• 9:14
  Barry
• 9:15
  led,
• 9:15
  you
• 9:15
  know,
• 9:15
  Pittsburgh
• 9:16
  stars,
• 9:16
  the
• 9:17
  Philadelphia
• 9:18
  Athletics
• 9:18
  and
• 9:18
  the
• 9:18
  Philadelphia
• 9:19
  Phillies
• 9:19
  had
• 9:19
  the
• 9:20
  original
• 9:20
  National
• 9:21
  Football
• 9:21
  League
• 9:21
  teams,
• 9:22
  which
• 9:23
  Franklin
• 9:23
  bought
• 9:23
  all
• 9:23
  their
• 9:24
  stars,
• 9:24
  and
• 9:24
  basically,
• 9:25
  you
• 9:25
  know,
• 9:26
  ended
• 9:27
  the
• 9:27
  organization
• 9:27
  after
• 9:28
  one
• 9:28
  year
• 9:28
  of
• 9:29
  the
• 9:29
  league.
• 9:29
  So
• 9:30
  kind
• 9:30
  of
• 9:30
  a
• 9:30
  cool
• 9:31
  story
• 9:31
  there,
• 9:31
  too.
• 9:31
  But,
• 9:32
  yeah,
• 9:32
  great,
• 9:32
  great
• 9:33
  stuff
• 9:33
  for
• 9:33
  Western.
• 9:33
  Pa.
• 9:35
  Yeah,
• 9:35
  great,
• 9:35
  great
• 9:36
  little
• 9:36
  start
• 9:36
  to
• 9:37
  the.
• 9:37
  Great
• 9:37
  little
• 9:38
  start
• 9:38
  to
• 9:38
  the
• 9:38
  Pittsburgh
• 9:39
  lore
• 9:39
  of
• 9:40
  November
• 9:40
  12th.
• 9:41
  Yeah,
• 9:41
  absolutely.
• 9:42
  All
• 9:43
  right,
• 9:43
  so
• 9:43
  what
• 9:43
  is
• 9:43
  our
• 9:43
  next
• 9:44
  event
• 9:44
  that
• 9:44
  happened
• 9:45
  on
• 9:45
  November
• 9:45
  12th
• 9:46
  that's
• 9:47
  famous
• 9:48
  for
• 9:48
  Pittsburgh
• 9:49
  football?
• 9:49
  Yeah,
• 9:50
  so
• 9:50
  I
• 9:50
  guess
• 9:50
  we'll.
• 9:50
  We'll
• 9:51
  kind
• 9:51
  of
• 9:51
  jump
• 9:52
  around
• 9:52
  a
• 9:52
  little
• 9:52
  bit,
• 9:53
  because
• 9:53
  it's
• 9:54
  a
• 9:54
  birth.
• 9:55
  So
• 9:55
  in
• 9:55
  1927,
• 9:56
  the
• 9:57
  Steelers
• 9:57
  hall
• 9:57
  of
• 9:57
  Fame
• 9:58
  defensive
• 9:58
  back
• 9:59
  Jack
• 9:59
  Butler
• 9:59
  was
• 10:00
  born.
• 10:01
  So
• 10:01
  Butler,
• 10:02
  obviously
• 10:02
  not
• 10:02
  playing
• 10:03
  in
• 10:03
  the
• 10:03
  20s
• 10:03
  and
• 10:03
  30s.
• 10:04
  He
• 10:04
  played
• 10:04
  in
• 10:04
  the
• 10:04
  1950s.
• 10:06
  And
• 10:06
  I
• 10:06
  mentioned
• 10:07
  Dave
• 10:07
  Barry
• 10:07
  being
• 10:07
  vastly
• 10:08
  underrated.
• 10:09
  I
• 10:10
  think
• 10:10
  I.
• 10:11
  I
• 10:11
  don't
• 10:11
  think
• 10:11
  people
• 10:12
  understand
• 10:12
  quite
• 10:13
  how
• 10:13
  good
• 10:13
  Jack
• 10:13
  Butler
• 10:14
  was
• 10:14
  in
• 10:15
  the
• 10:15
  1950s.
• 10:16
  I
• 10:16
  think
• 10:16
  even
• 10:17
  though
• 10:17
  he's
• 10:17
  a
• 10:17
  Hall
• 10:17
  of
• 10:17
  Famer,
• 10:18
  I
• 10:18
  think
• 10:18
  people
• 10:18
  undervalue
• 10:19
  what
• 10:20
  he
• 10:20
  did
• 10:20
  for
• 10:20
  that
• 10:20
  defense.
• 10:22
  Although
• 10:22
  the
• 10:23
  Steelers
• 10:23
  weren't
• 10:24
  a
• 10:24
  great
• 10:24
  team
• 10:24
  in
• 10:25
  the
• 10:25
  1950s
• 10:26
  by
• 10:26
  any
• 10:26
  stretch,
• 10:27
  they
• 10:27
  had
• 10:27
  one
• 10:28
  of
• 10:28
  the
• 10:28
  best
• 10:28
  defenses
• 10:29
  in
• 10:29
  football
• 10:30
  routinely
• 10:31
  throughout
• 10:31
  that
• 10:31
  stretch.
• 10:32
  And
• 10:32
  there's
• 10:32
  multiple
• 10:32
  publications
• 10:33
  that
• 10:33
  even
• 10:34
  kind
• 10:34
  of
• 10:34
  credit
• 10:35
  that
• 10:35
  to
• 10:35
  say,
• 10:36
  Pittsburgh's
• 10:36
  defense
• 10:36
  is
• 10:37
  great,
• 10:37
  but
• 10:37
  the
• 10:38
  offense
• 10:38
  doesn't
• 10:38
  have
• 10:39
  the
• 10:39
  firepower.
• 10:40
  And.
• 10:40
  And
• 10:41
  obviously,
• 10:41
  guys
• 10:41
  like
• 10:41
  Ernie
• 10:42
  Stotner,
• 10:42
  Jack
• 10:43
  Butler,
• 10:43
  Dale
• 10:43
  Dodgero
• 10:44
  and
• 10:44
  others,
• 10:45
  but
• 10:45
  Jack
• 10:46
  Butler,
• 10:46
  one
• 10:47
  of
• 10:47
  the
• 10:47
  stats
• 10:47
  that
• 10:47
  I
• 10:48
  still
• 10:48
  think
• 10:48
  of
• 10:48
  to
• 10:49
  this
• 10:49
  day,
• 10:50
  that.
• 10:50
  And
• 10:51
  I
• 10:51
  think
• 10:51
  this
• 10:51
  is
• 10:51
  why
• 10:52
  it's
• 10:52
  important
• 10:52
  to
• 10:52
  contextualize
• 10:53
  history.
• 10:53
  And
• 10:54
  I
• 10:54
  know
• 10:54
  you
• 10:54
  know
• 10:54
  this,
• 10:55
  Darren,
• 10:55
  and
• 10:55
  I
• 10:55
  know
• 10:55
  some
• 10:56
  of
• 10:56
  your
• 10:56
  listeners
• 10:56
  know
• 10:56
  this,
• 10:57
  too,
• 10:58
  but
• 10:58
  Jack
• 10:59
  Butler
• 10:59
  retired
• 11:00
  with
• 11:00
  the
• 11:00
  second
• 11:01
  most
• 11:01
  interceptions
• 11:02
  in
• 11:02
  NFL
• 11:02
  history.
• 11:03
  He
• 11:03
  was
• 11:04
  tied
• 11:04
  with
• 11:04
  Bobby
• 11:04
  Dylan
• 11:05
  when
• 11:06
  He
• 11:06
  retired
• 11:06
  in
• 11:07
  1959,
• 11:08
  only
• 11:08
  trailing
• 11:09
  him.
• 11:09
  When
• 11:09
  to
• 11:09
  know.
• 11:11
  But
• 11:11
  if
• 11:11
  you
• 11:12
  ask
• 11:12
  people
• 11:12
  today,
• 11:13
  they
• 11:13
  would
• 11:13
  look
• 11:13
  at
• 11:13
  it
• 11:13
  and
• 11:14
  say,
• 11:14
  I'm
• 11:14
  not
• 11:14
  sure
• 11:14
  where
• 11:14
  he
• 11:15
  is
• 11:15
  on
• 11:15
  the
• 11:15
  list
• 11:15
  today,
• 11:15
  but
• 11:16
  they
• 11:16
  would
• 11:16
  say,
• 11:17
  oh,
• 11:17
  no,
• 11:18
  he's.
• 11:18
  He's
• 11:19
  25th
• 11:19
  on
• 11:19
  the
• 11:20
  list.
• 11:20
  Why
• 11:21
  25th
• 11:21
  doesn't
• 11:22
  really
• 11:22
  matter.
• 11:23
  In
• 11:23
  his
• 11:24
  time,
• 11:24
  he
• 11:25
  was
• 11:26
  amazing.
• 11:27
  So
• 11:28
  I
• 11:28
  think
• 11:28
  what,
• 11:29
  what
• 11:29
  we
• 11:29
  lose
• 11:30
  about
• 11:30
  Jack
• 11:30
  Butler
• 11:31
  is,
• 11:31
  is
• 11:32
  sort
• 11:32
  of
• 11:32
  that
• 11:32
  history.
• 11:33
  We
• 11:33
  look
• 11:33
  at
• 11:33
  him
• 11:34
  more
• 11:34
  in
• 11:34
  terms
• 11:34
  of
• 11:35
  what
• 11:35
  we're
• 11:35
  looking
• 11:35
  at
• 11:36
  right
• 11:36
  now.
• 11:37
  But
• 11:37
  looking
• 11:37
  back,
• 11:38
  if
• 11:38
  you
• 11:38
  put
• 11:38
  him
• 11:39
  in
• 11:39
  that
• 11:39
  era
• 11:39
  and
• 11:39
  put
• 11:40
  him
• 11:40
  up
• 11:40
  against
• 11:40
  those
• 11:41
  guys,
• 11:42
  he
• 11:42
  was
• 11:42
  as
• 11:42
  good
• 11:42
  as
• 11:43
  anybody.
• 11:44
  Yeah.
• 11:44
  And
• 11:44
  we
• 11:45
  think
• 11:45
  about
• 11:45
  from
• 11:45
  this
• 11:46
  perspective
• 11:46
  too,
• 11:47
  he
• 11:47
  had
• 11:47
  the
• 11:48
  most
• 11:48
  interceptions
• 11:49
  or
• 11:49
  second
• 11:49
  most
• 11:50
  interceptions
• 11:50
  when
• 11:50
  he
• 11:51
  retired.
• 11:51
  But
• 11:52
  the
• 11:52
  passing
• 11:53
  game
• 11:53
  is
• 11:54
  nowhere
• 11:54
  near
• 11:54
  what
• 11:55
  it
• 11:55
  is
• 11:55
  today.
• 11:56
  People
• 11:56
  were
• 11:56
  not
• 11:56
  putting
• 11:57
  the
• 11:57
  ball
• 11:57
  in
• 11:57
  the
• 11:58
  air,
• 11:58
  you
• 11:58
  know,
• 11:58
  40
• 11:59
  times,
• 11:59
  50
• 12:00
  times
• 12:00
  in
• 12:00
  a
• 12:01
  game.
• 12:01
  This
• 12:01
  is,
• 12:02
  you
• 12:02
  know,
• 12:02
  the
• 12:02
  era
• 12:02
  of,
• 12:03
  okay,
• 12:03
  we
• 12:03
  run
• 12:04
  the
• 12:04
  ball
• 12:04
  and
• 12:04
  when
• 12:04
  we
• 12:05
  get
• 12:05
  in
• 12:05
  a
• 12:05
  little
• 12:05
  bit
• 12:05
  trouble
• 12:06
  from,
• 12:06
  you
• 12:06
  know,
• 12:06
  long
• 12:07
  yardage,
• 12:07
  you
• 12:07
  throw
• 12:08
  the
• 12:08
  pass.
• 12:08
  That's
• 12:08
  your
• 12:08
  desperation.
• 12:09
  For
• 12:09
  most
• 12:10
  teams,
• 12:11
  you
• 12:11
  know,
• 12:11
  I
• 12:11
  think
• 12:11
  it
• 12:11
  was,
• 12:12
  it
• 12:12
  was
• 12:12
  probably
• 12:12
  more
• 12:12
  like
• 12:13
  a
• 12:14
  66,
• 12:15
  you
• 12:15
  know,
• 12:15
  33
• 12:16
  split
• 12:16
  with
• 12:17
  running
• 12:17
  being
• 12:18
  more
• 12:18
  prevalent.
• 12:18
  So
• 12:19
  you
• 12:19
  didn't
• 12:19
  have
• 12:19
  as
• 12:19
  many
• 12:19
  opportunities
• 12:20
  to
• 12:20
  pick
• 12:20
  off
• 12:21
  passes.
• 12:22
  And
• 12:22
  so
• 12:22
  that's
• 12:22
  pretty
• 12:23
  remarkable
• 12:23
  to
• 12:24
  have
• 12:24
  that
• 12:24
  many
• 12:24
  picks
• 12:25
  in
• 12:26
  that
• 12:26
  type
• 12:26
  of
• 12:27
  play.
• 12:28
  And
• 12:28
  there
• 12:28
  were
• 12:28
  a
• 12:29
  lot
• 12:29
  of
• 12:29
  other
• 12:29
  good
• 12:29
  backs
• 12:30
  too.
• 12:30
  And
• 12:30
  again,
• 12:31
  defensive
• 12:31
  formations
• 12:32
  don't
• 12:32
  look
• 12:33
  the
• 12:33
  same
• 12:33
  in
• 12:33
  1950
• 12:34
  as
• 12:34
  they
• 12:35
  do
• 12:35
  now.
• 12:35
  And
• 12:36
  nor
• 12:36
  do
• 12:36
  offensive
• 12:37
  formations,
• 12:37
  but
• 12:38
  to
• 12:38
  that
• 12:38
  same
• 12:39
  point,
• 12:40
  looking
• 12:40
  at
• 12:40
  other
• 12:41
  stats,
• 12:41
  again,
• 12:41
  to
• 12:42
  kind
• 12:42
  of
• 12:42
  contextualize
• 12:43
  history
• 12:43
  a
• 12:43
  little
• 12:43
  bit.
• 12:44
  So
• 12:44
  if
• 12:45
  you
• 12:45
  look
• 12:45
  at
• 12:45
  Steelers
• 12:46
  history,
• 12:46
  I
• 12:46
  think
• 12:46
  most
• 12:47
  people,
• 12:47
  if
• 12:47
  you
• 12:47
  would
• 12:47
  say
• 12:48
  who's
• 12:48
  the
• 12:48
  greatest
• 12:48
  defensive
• 12:49
  back
• 12:49
  in
• 12:49
  Steelers
• 12:50
  history,
• 12:51
  most
• 12:51
  people
• 12:52
  are
• 12:52
  going
• 12:52
  to
• 12:52
  come
• 12:52
  right
• 12:52
  out
• 12:53
  and
• 12:53
  say
• 12:53
  Troy
• 12:53
  Palomalu,
• 12:54
  Rod
• 12:54
  Woodson,
• 12:55
  Mel
• 12:55
  Blunt.
• 12:56
  But
• 12:56
  if
• 12:56
  you
• 12:56
  look
• 12:57
  at
• 12:57
  it
• 12:57
  from
• 12:57
  this
• 12:58
  statistical
• 12:59
  standpoint,
• 13:00
  Jack
• 13:00
  Butler,
• 13:02
  in
• 13:02
  Steelers
• 13:03
  history,
• 13:03
  only
• 13:03
  six
• 13:04
  seasons
• 13:05
  has
• 13:05
  a
• 13:05
  player
• 13:06
  had
• 13:06
  more
• 13:06
  than
• 13:06
  nine
• 13:07
  interceptions
• 13:08
  and
• 13:08
  Jack
• 13:09
  Butler
• 13:09
  has
• 13:10
  three
• 13:10
  of
• 13:10
  them.
• 13:12
  So
• 13:12
  half
• 13:12
  of
• 13:13
  those
• 13:13
  seasons
• 13:13
  are
• 13:13
  Jack
• 13:14
  BUTLER
• 13:14
  and
• 13:15
  he's
• 13:15
  one
• 13:15
  of
• 13:15
  only
• 13:15
  four
• 13:16
  with
• 13:16
  more
• 13:16
  than
• 13:16
  10
• 13:16
  interceptions.
• 13:18
  So
• 13:19
  I
• 13:19
  can't
• 13:20
  imagine
• 13:21
  if
• 13:22
  I
• 13:22
  would
• 13:22
  have
• 13:22
  known
• 13:22
  more
• 13:23
  that
• 13:23
  I
• 13:23
  did
• 13:23
  in
• 13:23
  the
• 13:23
  2000s
• 13:24
  and
• 13:24
  2000s,
• 13:25
  I
• 13:26
  would
• 13:26
  have
• 13:26
  absolutely
• 13:27
  been
• 13:27
  banging
• 13:27
  the
• 13:28
  door
• 13:28
  for
• 13:28
  him
• 13:28
  to
• 13:28
  get
• 13:28
  into
• 13:29
  Canton
• 13:29
  much
• 13:29
  earlier
• 13:30
  than
• 13:30
  he
• 13:30
  did
• 13:30
  in
• 13:31
  2012.
• 13:32
  Yeah,
• 13:32
  it's
• 13:33
  2012.
• 13:34
  It's
• 13:34
  amazing
• 13:35
  that
• 13:35
  he
• 13:35
  got
• 13:36
  in
• 13:36
  after
• 13:37
  Most
• 13:37
  of
• 13:37
  the
• 13:38
  1970s
• 13:39
  Steelers,
• 13:40
  you
• 13:40
  know,
• 13:40
  the
• 13:40
  majority
• 13:41
  of
• 13:41
  them
• 13:41
  were
• 13:41
  in
• 13:41
  way
• 13:42
  before
• 13:42
  2012.
• 13:43
  And
• 13:44
  he
• 13:44
  was,
• 13:44
  I
• 13:44
  mean
• 13:45
  all
• 13:46
  NFL
• 13:47
  hall
• 13:47
  of
• 13:47
  Fame
• 13:47
  class
• 13:48
  of
• 13:48
  1950.
• 13:49
  I
• 13:49
  mean,
• 13:49
  he.
• 13:50
  When
• 13:50
  you're
• 13:51
  an
• 13:51
  all
• 13:51
  decade
• 13:51
  team,
• 13:52
  that
• 13:53
  should
• 13:53
  almost
• 13:53
  be
• 13:54
  automatic.
• 13:54
  You
• 13:54
  should
• 13:54
  be
• 13:55
  hall
• 13:55
  of
• 13:55
  Fame.
• 13:55
  That
• 13:55
  means
• 13:56
  your
• 13:56
  peers
• 13:57
  think
• 13:57
  you
• 13:57
  were
• 13:57
  the
• 13:57
  best
• 13:58
  player
• 13:59
  at
• 13:59
  your
• 13:59
  position
• 14:00
  for
• 14:00
  those
• 14:00
  10
• 14:01
  years.
• 14:01
  And
• 14:02
  it's
• 14:02
  remarkable
• 14:03
  that
• 14:04
  and
• 14:04
  really
• 14:04
  a
• 14:04
  travesty
• 14:05
  that
• 14:06
  he
• 14:06
  didn't
• 14:06
  get
• 14:06
  until
• 14:07
  2012,
• 14:07
  but
• 14:08
  sure
• 14:08
  glad
• 14:08
  he
• 14:08
  is
• 14:08
  now
• 14:09
  that
• 14:09
  we
• 14:09
  get
• 14:09
  to
• 14:09
  enjoy
• 14:10
  and
• 14:10
  see
• 14:10
  his
• 14:10
  bust
• 14:10
  and
• 14:11
  relive
• 14:12
  some
• 14:12
  of
• 14:12
  his
• 14:12
  history
• 14:13
  when
• 14:14
  people
• 14:14
  visit
• 14:14
  Canton.
• 14:15
  So
• 14:15
  that's
• 14:15
  kind
• 14:15
  of
• 14:15
  cool.
• 14:16
  One
• 14:16
  of
• 14:16
  the
• 14:16
  other
• 14:17
  fun
• 14:17
  things
• 14:17
  about
• 14:17
  him
• 14:18
  though,
• 14:18
  that
• 14:18
  maybe
• 14:19
  lesser
• 14:19
  known
• 14:19
  is,
• 14:19
  is.
• 14:20
  And
• 14:20
  I
• 14:20
  don't
• 14:20
  remember
• 14:20
  the
• 14:21
  exact
• 14:21
  number,
• 14:21
  I
• 14:21
  should
• 14:21
  have
• 14:22
  put
• 14:22
  it
• 14:22
  in
• 14:22
  my
• 14:22
  note,
• 14:22
  but
• 14:23
  he
• 14:23
  had
• 14:23
  a
• 14:24
  handful
• 14:24
  of
• 14:24
  reception
• 14:25
  touchdowns
• 14:25
  too.
• 14:26
  When
• 14:26
  they
• 14:26
  brought
• 14:27
  him
• 14:27
  over
• 14:27
  to
• 14:27
  the
• 14:27
  offense,
• 14:28
  he
• 14:28
  was
• 14:28
  a
• 14:28
  receiving
• 14:28
  threat.
• 14:29
  I
• 14:29
  believe
• 14:29
  he
• 14:29
  has
• 14:29
  like
• 14:30
  seven
• 14:30
  career
• 14:31
  reception
• 14:32
  touchdowns,
• 14:32
  something
• 14:33
  of
• 14:33
  that
• 14:33
  number.
• 14:34
  So
• 14:34
  if
• 14:34
  he
• 14:34
  wasn't
• 14:35
  picking
• 14:35
  off
• 14:35
  passes,
• 14:35
  they
• 14:36
  could
• 14:36
  put
• 14:36
  him
• 14:36
  on
• 14:36
  offense
• 14:37
  to
• 14:37
  be
• 14:37
  a
• 14:37
  weapon
• 14:37
  too.
• 14:38
  Yeah,
• 14:39
  yeah,
• 14:39
  we.
• 14:39
  We
• 14:39
  forget
• 14:40
  about
• 14:40
  that,
• 14:40
  that
• 14:40
  it's
• 14:41
  right
• 14:41
  in
• 14:41
  the
• 14:41
  era
• 14:42
  where
• 14:42
  single
• 14:43
  platoon
• 14:43
  is
• 14:43
  on
• 14:44
  its
• 14:44
  way
• 14:44
  out.
• 14:44
  But,
• 14:45
  you
• 14:45
  know,
• 14:45
  some
• 14:45
  teams
• 14:46
  are
• 14:46
  still
• 14:46
  saying,
• 14:46
  you
• 14:46
  know,
• 14:47
  we
• 14:47
  don't
• 14:47
  want
• 14:47
  to
• 14:47
  have
• 14:47
  that
• 14:47
  many
• 14:48
  specialists
• 14:48
  because
• 14:49
  the
• 14:49
  roster
• 14:49
  sizes
• 14:50
  were
• 14:50
  much
• 14:50
  smaller.
• 14:50
  I
• 14:50
  think
• 14:50
  they
• 14:51
  only
• 14:51
  had,
• 14:51
  you
• 14:51
  know,
• 14:51
  less
• 14:52
  than
• 14:52
  30
• 14:52
  players
• 14:52
  on
• 14:53
  an
• 14:53
  NFL
• 14:53
  roster.
• 14:54
  So
• 14:54
  you
• 14:54
  had
• 14:55
  to
• 14:55
  be
• 14:55
  able
• 14:55
  to
• 14:55
  do
• 14:56
  multiple
• 14:57
  duties
• 14:57
  and
• 14:57
  do
• 14:57
  them
• 14:58
  well
• 14:58
  to.
• 14:58
  To
• 14:58
  play
• 14:59
  in
• 14:59
  that
• 14:59
  era
• 15:00
  because
• 15:01
  they
• 15:01
  didn't
• 15:01
  have
• 15:01
  the
• 15:01
  payrolls
• 15:02
  that
• 15:02
  they
• 15:02
  have
• 15:02
  today
• 15:02
  either.
• 15:03
  So.
• 15:04
  Yeah,
• 15:04
  so,
• 15:05
  yeah,
• 15:05
  definitely.
• 15:06
  Jack
• 15:06
  Butler,
• 15:06
  an
• 15:07
  important
• 15:07
  part
• 15:07
  of
• 15:07
  Pittsburgh
• 15:08
  history.
• 15:09
  And,
• 15:09
  you
• 15:09
  know,
• 15:09
  he
• 15:10
  was
• 15:10
  a
• 15:10
  Pittsburgh
• 15:10
  guy.
• 15:11
  He
• 15:11
  was
• 15:11
  born
• 15:11
  in
• 15:11
  the
• 15:12
  city.
• 15:12
  So
• 15:13
  when
• 15:13
  you
• 15:13
  have
• 15:13
  your
• 15:13
  hometown
• 15:14
  hero
• 15:15
  playing
• 15:15
  for
• 15:16
  your
• 15:16
  Pittsburgh
• 15:17
  Steelers,
• 15:17
  that
• 15:17
  makes
• 15:18
  it
• 15:18
  even
• 15:18
  more
• 15:18
  special.
• 15:18
  It
• 15:19
  doesn't
• 15:19
  happen
• 15:19
  very
• 15:19
  often.
• 15:20
  And
• 15:21
  really
• 15:21
  great
• 15:22
  thing
• 15:22
  for
• 15:22
  him.
• 15:23
  No,
• 15:23
  great.
• 15:24
  Great
• 15:24
  to
• 15:24
  have
• 15:24
  Butler
• 15:25
  as
• 15:25
  a
• 15:26
  Steeler
• 15:26
  because
• 15:26
  of
• 15:26
  all
• 15:27
  those
• 15:27
  legendary
• 15:27
  marks,
• 15:28
  but
• 15:30
  kind
• 15:30
  of
• 15:30
  leading
• 15:30
  into
• 15:31
  the
• 15:31
  last
• 15:31
  one
• 15:31
  now
• 15:32
  because
• 15:32
  I
• 15:32
  know
• 15:32
  people,
• 15:33
  you
• 15:34
  know,
• 15:34
  we've
• 15:34
  jumped
• 15:35
  around
• 15:35
  to
• 15:35
  the
• 15:35
  50s
• 15:35
  a
• 15:36
  little
• 15:36
  bit.
• 15:36
  So
• 15:36
  let.
• 15:37
  I
• 15:37
  think
• 15:37
  we
• 15:37
  should
• 15:37
  take
• 15:38
  them
• 15:38
  back
• 15:38
  to
• 15:38
  the
• 15:38
  beginning
• 15:39
  of
• 15:39
  the.
• 15:39
  The
• 15:39
  Steelers
• 15:40
  franchise
• 15:40
  to
• 15:40
  really
• 15:41
  give
• 15:41
  them
• 15:41
  the
• 15:41
  roots,
• 15:42
  the
• 15:43
  roots
• 15:43
  of
• 15:43
  Pittsburgh.
• 15:44
  So
• 15:45
  the
• 15:45
  last
• 15:46
  being
• 15:46
  1933,
• 15:48
  which
• 15:48
  is
• 15:48
  the
• 15:48
  inaugural
• 15:49
  Steeler
• 15:49
  season
• 15:50
  or
• 15:50
  the
• 15:50
  inaugural
• 15:51
  Pirate
• 15:51
  season,
• 15:52
  if
• 15:52
  you
• 15:52
  want
• 15:52
  to
• 15:52
  be
• 15:53
  era
• 15:54
  correct.
• 15:55
  This
• 15:56
  November
• 15:56
  12th
• 15:57
  was
• 15:57
  the
• 15:57
  day
• 15:57
  of
• 15:57
  the
• 15:58
  first
• 15:58
  Sunday
• 15:59
  home
• 15:59
  game
• 16:00
  for
• 16:00
  the
• 16:00
  Steelers
• 16:01
  after
• 16:01
  the
• 16:01
  Blue
• 16:01
  Laws
• 16:02
  were
• 16:02
  repealed.
• 16:03
  The
• 16:04
  first
• 16:04
  home
• 16:04
  games
• 16:05
  that
• 16:05
  they
• 16:05
  played
• 16:05
  that
• 16:05
  season
• 16:06
  were
• 16:06
  all
• 16:06
  on
• 16:06
  Wednesday,
• 16:07
  which
• 16:08
  reminiscent
• 16:08
  of
• 16:09
  probably
• 16:09
  Covid
• 16:09
  a
• 16:10
  little
• 16:10
  bit.
• 16:10
  I'm
• 16:10
  sure
• 16:11
  we.
• 16:11
  We
• 16:11
  all
• 16:11
  remember
• 16:12
  that
• 16:12
  whenever
• 16:12
  we're
• 16:13
  watching
• 16:13
  games
• 16:13
  on
• 16:13
  Tuesdays
• 16:14
  and
• 16:14
  Wednesdays,
• 16:15
  just
• 16:15
  whenever
• 16:15
  we
• 16:15
  could
• 16:15
  play
• 16:16
  them.
• 16:17
  But
• 16:17
  in
• 16:17
  1933,
• 16:19
  that
• 16:19
  was
• 16:19
  the
• 16:19
  first
• 16:20
  Sunday
• 16:20
  home
• 16:20
  game.
• 16:21
  Now,
• 16:21
  unfortunately,
• 16:23
  it
• 16:23
  was
• 16:23
  forgettable
• 16:24
  losing
• 16:24
  to
• 16:25
  Brooklyn.
• 16:26
  I
• 16:26
  have
• 16:26
  the
• 16:27
  score
• 16:27
  here.
• 16:27
  I
• 16:27
  actually
• 16:27
  have
• 16:28
  them
• 16:28
  back
• 16:28
  to
• 16:28
  back.
• 16:30
  Or
• 16:30
  maybe
• 16:31
  not.
• 16:31
  I
• 16:31
  wrote
• 16:31
  them
• 16:31
  the
• 16:31
  wrong.
• 16:32
  Oh,
• 16:32
  there
• 16:32
  we
• 16:32
  go.
• 16:32
  So
• 16:32
  32
• 16:33
  nothing.
• 16:33
  They
• 16:34
  were
• 16:34
  shut
• 16:34
  out
• 16:34
  in
• 16:34
  their
• 16:35
  first
• 16:35
  ever
• 16:36
  Sunday
• 16:36
  home
• 16:36
  Game,
• 16:37
  which
• 16:37
  was
• 16:37
  a
• 16:37
  little
• 16:38
  shocking
• 16:38
  because
• 16:38
  the
• 16:39
  week
• 16:39
  before
• 16:39
  playing
• 16:39
  in
• 16:40
  Brooklyn,
• 16:40
  they
• 16:40
  played
• 16:41
  to
• 16:41
  a
• 16:41
  3,
• 16:41
  3
• 16:41
  tie.
• 16:42
  So
• 16:43
  I,
• 16:43
  I
• 16:43
  guess
• 16:43
  Brooklyn
• 16:44
  made
• 16:44
  the
• 16:44
  adjustments,
• 16:44
  not
• 16:45
  Pittsburgh.
• 16:46
  Yeah,
• 16:47
  that's
• 16:47
  definitely
• 16:48
  right.
• 16:48
  Now
• 16:48
  it's
• 16:49
  really
• 16:49
  kind
• 16:49
  of
• 16:49
  an
• 16:50
  interesting
• 16:50
  story.
• 16:51
  While
• 16:52
  you
• 16:52
  think
• 16:52
  about
• 16:53
  the
• 16:53
  early
• 16:53
  NFL
• 16:54
  and
• 16:54
  why
• 16:54
  games
• 16:54
  are
• 16:55
  played
• 16:55
  on
• 16:55
  Sundays,
• 16:55
  you
• 16:55
  know,
• 16:56
  we
• 16:56
  just
• 16:56
  grew
• 16:56
  up,
• 16:56
  hey,
• 16:57
  NFL
• 16:57
  is
• 16:57
  played
• 16:58
  on
• 16:58
  Sundays.
• 16:58
  Well,
• 16:59
  now
• 16:59
  they've
• 16:59
  expanded
• 17:00
  to
• 17:00
  other
• 17:00
  days
• 17:01
  of
• 17:01
  the
• 17:01
  week,
• 17:01
  but
• 17:02
  you
• 17:02
  know,
• 17:02
  back
• 17:02
  in
• 17:02
  the
• 17:03
  day
• 17:03
  it
• 17:03
  was,
• 17:03
  you
• 17:03
  know,
• 17:04
  Sunday.
• 17:04
  You
• 17:04
  know,
• 17:05
  most
• 17:05
  your
• 17:05
  games
• 17:06
  were
• 17:06
  played
• 17:06
  that
• 17:06
  day.
• 17:07
  And
• 17:07
  the
• 17:08
  reason
• 17:08
  is
• 17:08
  because
• 17:09
  like
• 17:09
  we
• 17:09
  said
• 17:09
  earlier,
• 17:10
  college
• 17:10
  football
• 17:10
  was
• 17:11
  such
• 17:11
  a
• 17:11
  powerhouse
• 17:12
  and
• 17:13
  they
• 17:13
  would
• 17:13
  not
• 17:14
  have
• 17:14
  anybody
• 17:14
  going
• 17:14
  to
• 17:15
  an
• 17:15
  NFL
• 17:15
  game
• 17:15
  if
• 17:16
  they
• 17:16
  tried
• 17:16
  to
• 17:16
  play
• 17:16
  it
• 17:16
  on
• 17:17
  a
• 17:17
  Saturday.
• 17:18
  And
• 17:18
  Sunday
• 17:18
  was
• 17:19
  also
• 17:19
  a
• 17:19
  good
• 17:20
  day
• 17:20
  because
• 17:20
  most
• 17:21
  of
• 17:21
  the
• 17:21
  workers,
• 17:22
  you
• 17:22
  know,
• 17:23
  a
• 17:23
  lot
• 17:23
  of
• 17:23
  industrial
• 17:24
  towns
• 17:24
  were
• 17:25
  playing
• 17:26
  in
• 17:26
  the
• 17:26
  NFL
• 17:26
  in
• 17:26
  the
• 17:26
  early
• 17:27
  NFL.
• 17:27
  And
• 17:28
  Sundays
• 17:28
  was
• 17:28
  a
• 17:29
  day
• 17:29
  of
• 17:29
  rest
• 17:29
  and
• 17:29
  people
• 17:30
  didn't
• 17:30
  have
• 17:30
  to
• 17:30
  go
• 17:30
  to
• 17:31
  work
• 17:31
  and
• 17:31
  good
• 17:32
  time
• 17:32
  to
• 17:32
  go
• 17:33
  to
• 17:33
  catch
• 17:33
  a
• 17:33
  ball
• 17:33
  game.
• 17:34
  And
• 17:34
  they
• 17:35
  wanted
• 17:35
  to
• 17:35
  take
• 17:35
  your
• 17:35
  money
• 17:35
  to
• 17:36
  sell
• 17:36
  you
• 17:36
  tickets
• 17:37
  to
• 17:37
  come
• 17:37
  and
• 17:38
  do
• 17:38
  that
• 17:38
  too.
• 17:39
  So
• 17:40
  being
• 17:40
  the
• 17:40
  repelling
• 17:41
  of
• 17:41
  the
• 17:41
  blue
• 17:42
  laws,
• 17:42
  which
• 17:42
  happened
• 17:43
  at
• 17:43
  the
• 17:43
  general
• 17:43
  election
• 17:45
  that
• 17:45
  year
• 17:45
  and
• 17:45
  on
• 17:46
  November
• 17:46
  7th
• 17:47
  of
• 17:47
  1933,
• 17:48
  and
• 17:48
  if
• 17:48
  you,
• 17:49
  you
• 17:49
  check,
• 17:49
  you
• 17:50
  know,
• 17:50
  those
• 17:50
  of

  you

  history,
• 17:53
  you
• 17:54
  can
• 17:54
  remember
• 17:54
  reading
• 17:55
  that
• 17:55
  on,
• 17:55
  back
• 17:55
  on
• 17:55
  November
• 17:56
  7th
• 17:56
  here
• 17:56
  just
• 17:56
  a
• 17:57
  few
• 17:57
  days
• 17:57
  ago,
• 17:58
  you
• 17:58
  know,
• 17:59
  that
• 17:59
  general
• 17:59
  election,
• 18:00
  they,
• 18:00
  the
• 18:01
  NFL
• 18:02
  sort
• 18:02
  of
• 18:02
  knew,
• 18:03
  you
• 18:03
  know,
• 18:03
  the,
• 18:03
  the
• 18:03
  Rooneys
• 18:04
  and
• 18:05
  the
• 18:05
  Bells
• 18:06
  knew
• 18:07
  that
• 18:07
  it
• 18:08
  was
• 18:08
  going
• 18:08
  to
• 18:08
  be
• 18:08
  repelled
• 18:09
  and
• 18:09
  the
• 18:10
  blue
• 18:10
  laws
• 18:10
  were.
• 18:11
  So
• 18:11
  that's
• 18:11
  why
• 18:11
  the
• 18:12
  franchises
• 18:12
  were
• 18:13
  bought
• 18:13
  and
• 18:14
  they
• 18:14
  were
• 18:14
  started.
• 18:15
  And
• 18:15
  it
• 18:15
  would
• 18:15
  have
• 18:15
  been
• 18:16
  really,
• 18:16
  really
• 18:16
  bad
• 18:17
  for
• 18:17
  them
• 18:17
  if,
• 18:18
  you
• 18:18
  know,
• 18:18
  that
• 18:18
  vote
• 18:19
  didn't
• 18:19
  go
• 18:19
  through
• 18:19
  and
• 18:20
  they
• 18:20
  use
• 18:20
  Wednesday
• 18:21
  games
• 18:21
  because
• 18:21
  nobody
• 18:21
  would
• 18:22
  want
• 18:22
  to
• 18:22
  play
• 18:22
  them
• 18:22
  and
• 18:22
  say,
• 18:22
  okay,

• 18:50
  days
• 18:51
  of
• 18:51
  the
• 18:51
  NFL
• 18:52
  and
• 18:52
  some
• 18:52
  of
• 18:52
  our
• 18:52
  most
• 18:53
  historic
• 18:53
  figures.
• 18:54
  Yeah,
• 18:55
  it
• 18:55
  definitely
• 18:56
  does.
• 18:56
  And
• 18:57
  we
• 18:57
  did
• 18:57
  have
• 18:57
  pro
• 18:58
  football
• 18:58
  during
• 18:58
  the
• 18:58
  1920s
• 18:59
  in
• 18:59
  Pennsylvania,
• 19:00
  but
• 19:00
  they're
• 19:00
  mostly
• 19:01
  on
• 19:01
  the
• 19:01
  east
• 19:01
  side.
• 19:02
  Those
• 19:02
  of
• 19:02
  you
• 19:02
  just,
• 19:02
  you
• 19:03
  know,
• 19:03
  read
• 19:03
  the
• 19:03
  book
• 19:04
  that
• 19:04
  Jeffrey
• 19:04
  Payne
• 19:04
  and
• 19:04
  I
• 19:05
  wrote
• 19:05
  this
• 19:05
  year.
• 19:05
  We
• 19:05
  just
• 19:05
  had
• 19:05
  the
• 19:05
  100th
• 19:06
  anniversary
• 19:06
  of
• 19:07
  the
• 19:07
  Pottsville
• 19:07
  Maroons.
• 19:08
  They
• 19:08
  were
• 19:08
  in
• 19:09
  there.
• 19:09
  And
• 19:09
  Pottsville
• 19:11
  would
• 19:11
  play
• 19:11
  on.
• 19:12
  On
• 19:12
  Saturdays,
• 19:13
  but
• 19:13
  I'm
• 19:14
  sorry,
• 19:14
  they
• 19:14
  played
• 19:14
  on
• 19:15
  Sundays.
• 19:15
  They
• 19:15
  didn't
• 19:15
  care
• 19:15
  about
• 19:16
  the
• 19:16
  blue
• 19:16
  laws.
• 19:16
  I
• 19:16
  don't
• 19:16
  know.
• 19:17
  Pottsville
• 19:17
  didn't
• 19:18
  have
• 19:18
  the.
• 19:18
  I'm
• 19:19
  cracking
• 19:19
  down
• 19:19
  on
• 19:19
  them,
• 19:19
  I
• 19:20
  guess.
• 19:20
  But
• 19:20
  the
• 19:20
  Frankfurt
• 19:21
  Yellow
• 19:22
  Jackets
• 19:22
  did
• 19:23
  care
• 19:23
  about
• 19:23
  it
• 19:23
  being
• 19:23
  in
• 19:24
  Philadelphia,
• 19:25
  so
• 19:25
  they
• 19:25
  would
• 19:26
  play
• 19:26
  on
• 19:26
  Sundays.
• 19:26
  But
• 19:27
  that's
• 19:27
  how
• 19:27
  those
• 19:27
  teams
• 19:28
  thrived.
• 19:29
  They
• 19:29
  were
• 19:29
  both
• 19:29
  powerhouses,
• 19:30
  but
• 19:31
  teams
• 19:31
  would
• 19:31
  come
• 19:31
  from
• 19:31
  Chicago
• 19:32
  or
• 19:32
  Green
• 19:32
  Bay
• 19:33
  or
• 19:33
  New
• 19:33
  York
• 19:33
  or
• 19:34
  wherever
• 19:35
  and
• 19:35
  come
• 19:35
  and
• 19:35
  play
• 19:36
  one
• 19:36
  on
• 19:36
  Saturday,
• 19:36
  one
• 19:37
  on
• 19:37
  Sunday,
• 19:37
  a
• 19:38
  home
• 19:38
  and
• 19:38
  home
• 19:38
  game.
• 19:39
  And,
• 19:39
  you
• 19:40
  know,
• 19:40
  poor,
• 19:41
  poor
• 19:41
  guys
• 19:41
  playing,
• 19:41
  you
• 19:42
  know,
• 19:42
  two
• 19:42
  days
• 19:42
  in
• 19:42
  a
• 19:42
  row.
• 19:43
  That
• 19:43
  was
• 19:43
  pretty
• 19:43
  brutal,
• 19:44
  especially
• 19:44
  when
• 19:44
  you're
• 19:45
  traveling
• 19:45
  all
• 19:45
  the
• 19:45
  way
• 19:45
  from
• 19:45
  Chicago
• 19:46
  or,
• 19:47
  you
• 19:47
  know,
• 19:47
  wherever
• 19:47
  to
• 19:48
  come
• 19:48
  and
• 19:48
  do
• 19:48
  that.
• 19:49
  But,
• 19:49
  yeah,
• 19:50
  the
• 19:50
  day
• 19:50
  ended
• 19:51
  Basically
• 19:52
  the
• 19:52
  late
• 19:52
  1920s,
• 19:53
  1928,
• 19:54
  I
• 19:54
  think,
• 19:54
  was
• 19:54
  the
• 19:54
  last
• 19:54
  that
• 19:55
  Pottsville
• 19:55
  and
• 19:56
  Frankfurt
• 19:57
  played.
• 19:58
  But
• 19:58
  Frankfurt
• 19:59
  actually
• 19:59
  turned
• 20:00
  into
• 20:00
  the
• 20:00
  franchise.
• 20:01
  I'm
• 20:01
  sorry,
• 20:01
  Frankfurt
• 20:02
  went
• 20:02
  a
• 20:02
  little
• 20:02
  bit
• 20:02
  longer.
• 20:02
  They
• 20:02
  went
• 20:03
  1930s.
• 20:04
  They
• 20:04
  had
• 20:04
  like
• 20:04
  a
• 20:05
  year
• 20:05
  or
• 20:05
  two
• 20:05
  off.
• 20:05
  And
• 20:06
  Burt
• 20:06
  Bell,
• 20:07
  actually
• 20:08
  his
• 20:08
  son
• 20:08
  Upton,
• 20:09
  who
• 20:09
  I've
• 20:09
  had
• 20:09
  on
• 20:09
  the
• 20:10
  show
• 20:10
  multiple
• 20:11
  times,
• 20:11
  has
• 20:12
  told
• 20:12
  the
• 20:12
  story
• 20:13
  often
• 20:13
  to
• 20:13
  say
• 20:14
  that
• 20:14
  Bert
• 20:15
  Bell
• 20:15
  and
• 20:16
  his
• 20:16
  w.
• 20:17
  His
• 20:17
  wife,
• 20:18
  Upton's
• 20:19
  mother,
• 20:19
  Francis
• 20:20
  Upton,
• 20:20
  who's
• 20:21
  a
• 20:22
  vaudeville
• 20:22
  starlet,
• 20:23
  they
• 20:23
  bought
• 20:24
  the
• 20:24
  franchise
• 20:25
  of
• 20:25
  Frankfurt
• 20:26
  and
• 20:26
  renamed
• 20:26
  it
• 20:26
  to
• 20:27
  Philadelphia
• 20:27
  Eagles.
• 20:28
  And
• 20:29
  rest
• 20:29
  is
• 20:29
  history.
• 20:30
  Yeah.
• 20:31
  And
• 20:31
  we
• 20:31
  have
• 20:32
  great
• 20:32
  figures
• 20:32
  to.
• 20:33
  To
• 20:33
  remember
• 20:33
  again,
• 20:33
  great
• 20:34
  figures
• 20:34
  to
• 20:34
  remember
• 20:34
  all
• 20:35
  that
• 20:35
  by,
• 20:35
  to
• 20:36
  give
• 20:36
  us
• 20:36
  the
• 20:36
  history
• 20:37
  that
• 20:37
  we
• 20:37
  have
• 20:37
  today.
• 20:38
  Now,
• 20:38
  I.
• 20:39
  Speaking
• 20:39
  of
• 20:40
  that,
• 20:40
  I
• 20:40
  actually
• 20:40
  have
• 20:41
  one
• 20:41
  more
• 20:41
  November
• 20:41
  12th
• 20:42
  occurrence.
• 20:42
  If,
• 20:43
  if
• 20:43
  you're
• 20:43
  up
• 20:43
  one
• 20:44
  more.
• 20:44
  Yeah,
• 20:44
  we'll
• 20:45
  always
• 20:45
  take
• 20:45
  a
• 20:46
  bonus.
• 20:46
  Maybe
• 20:47
  this
• 20:47
  one
• 20:47
  isn't
• 20:48
  quite
• 20:48
  as
• 20:48
  famous.
• 20:49
  It's
• 20:49
  not
• 20:49
  Jack
• 20:50
  Butler,
• 20:50
  it's
• 20:50
  not
• 20:50
  Pudge
• 20:51
  Heffelfinger.
• 20:51
  But
• 20:52
  I
• 20:52
  was
• 20:52
  talking
• 20:53
  with
• 20:53
  my
• 20:53
  friend
• 20:54
  on
• 20:54
  X.
• 20:54
  If.
• 20:54
  If
• 20:55
  you
• 20:55
  all
• 20:55
  were
• 20:55
  on
• 20:55
  X,
• 20:55
  you
• 20:56
  may
• 20:56
  know
• 20:56
  who
• 20:56
  Steel
• 20:56
  City
• 20:57
  Star
• 20:57
  is.
• 20:58
  We
• 20:58
  were
• 20:58
  talking
• 20:58
  a
• 20:59
  little
• 20:59
  bit
• 20:59
  about
• 20:59
  November
• 21:00
  12th
• 21:00
  as
• 21:00
  well.
• 21:01
  And
• 21:01
  it
• 21:02
  is
• 21:02
  the
• 21:02
  only
• 21:02
  game
• 21:03
  ever
• 21:04
  that
• 21:04
  the
• 21:04
  Pittsburgh
• 21:05
  Steelers
• 21:05
  played
• 21:06
  the
• 21:06
  Baltimore
• 21:07
  Colts.
• 21:07
  Now,
• 21:08
  that
• 21:08
  sounds
• 21:08
  crazy,
• 21:09
  because
• 21:10
  it's
• 21:10
  not.
• 21:11
  But
• 21:12
  as.
• 21:12
  As
• 21:13
  you
• 21:13
  football
• 21:13
  fans
• 21:14
  will
• 21:14
  know,
• 21:14
  the
• 21:14
  All
• 21:15
  American
• 21:15
  football
• 21:16
  conference,
• 21:17
  the
• 21:18
  AAFC
• 21:19
  in
• 21:19
  the
• 21:19
  1940s
• 21:20
  had
• 21:20
  the
• 21:20
  Baltimore
• 21:21
  Colts,
• 21:21
  and
• 21:21
  they
• 21:22
  were
• 21:22
  one
• 21:22
  of
• 21:22
  the
• 21:22
  franchises
• 21:23
  that
• 21:24
  carried
• 21:25
  over
• 21:25
  to
• 21:25
  the
• 21:25
  NFL
• 21:27
  in
• 21:28
  1950.
• 21:29
  They
• 21:29
  played
• 21:29
  their
• 21:30
  first
• 21:30
  season
• 21:30
  in
• 21:30
  the
• 21:30
  NFL
• 21:31
  along
• 21:31
  with
• 21:31
  San
• 21:32
  Francisco
• 21:32
  and
• 21:32
  Cleveland.
• 21:33
  But
• 21:34
  that
• 21:34
  iteration
• 21:35
  of
• 21:35
  the
• 21:35
  colts
• 21:36
  folded
• 21:36
  after
• 21:37
  1950.
• 21:39
  So
• 21:39
  that
• 21:39
  franchise
• 21:40
  was
• 21:40
  kind
• 21:40
  of
• 21:41
  defunct
• 21:41
  after
• 21:42
  1950,
• 21:43
  bought
• 21:43
  back
• 21:44
  in
• 21:44
  1952
• 21:45
  as
• 21:45
  the
• 21:45
  Dallas
• 21:46
  Texans,
• 21:48
  only
• 21:48
  to
• 21:48
  then
• 21:48
  be
• 21:49
  the
• 21:49
  Baltimore
• 21:49
  colts
• 21:50
  again
• 21:50
  in
• 21:50
  1950.
• 21:50
  3.
• 21:51
  So
• 21:52
  that's
• 21:53
  technically
• 21:53
  speaking
• 21:54
  the
• 21:54
  only
• 21:55
  time
• 21:55
  that
• 21:55
  the
• 21:55
  Steelers
• 21:56
  played
• 21:56
  the
• 21:56
  Baltimore
• 21:57
  Colts
• 21:58
  and
• 21:58
  also
• 21:58
  a
• 21:58
  record
• 21:59
  played
• 21:59
  the
• 21:59
  original.
• 22:00
  Baltimore
• 22:00
  Colts,
• 22:01
  I
• 22:01
  guess.
• 22:01
  Correct.
• 22:02
  The
• 22:02
  original
• 22:03
  Baltimore
• 22:03
  Colts,
• 22:04
  which
• 22:04
  seems
• 22:05
  strange
• 22:05
  to
• 22:05
  say
• 22:05
  that
• 22:06
  they
• 22:06
  only
• 22:06
  played
• 22:06
  one
• 22:07
  season.
• 22:07
  But
• 22:08
  in.
• 22:08
  In
• 22:09
  context
• 22:09
  that's
• 22:10
  actually
• 22:10
  true.
• 22:11
  And
• 22:12
  a
• 22:12
  Steelers
• 22:12
  record
• 22:13
  was
• 22:13
  actually
• 22:13
  set
• 22:13
  that
• 22:14
  day
• 22:14
  to
• 22:15
  quarterback,
• 22:15
  running
• 22:16
  back,
• 22:16
  kicker,
• 22:17
  punter,
• 22:17
  do
• 22:17
  it
• 22:17
  all
• 22:18
  guy.
• 22:18
  Joe
• 22:18
  Gary
• 22:19
  actually
• 22:20
  set
• 22:20
  at
• 22:20
  the
• 22:20
  time
• 22:21
  the
• 22:21
  single
• 22:21
  season
• 22:21
  record
• 22:22
  for
• 22:22
  field
• 22:22
  goals
• 22:23
  for
• 22:23
  the
• 22:24
  Steelers
• 22:24
  as
• 22:24
  well
• 22:25
  in
• 22:25
  that
• 22:25
  game.
• 22:26
  Wow,
• 22:27
  that
• 22:27
  is
• 22:27
  some
• 22:27
  great
• 22:27
  information.
• 22:28
  I
• 22:28
  did
• 22:28
  not
• 22:29
  know
• 22:29
  that.
• 22:29
  But
• 22:30
  we'll
• 22:30
  include
• 22:30
  that
• 22:30
  with
• 22:31
  our
• 22:31
  November
• 22:31
  12th
• 22:32
  celebration
• 22:32
  here.
• 22:33
  And
• 22:34
  yeah,
• 22:34
  Pittsburgh
• 22:35
  is
• 22:35
  really
• 22:35
  waving
• 22:35
  the
• 22:36
  flags
• 22:36
  here
• 22:36
  for
• 22:37
  football
• 22:37
  and

• 23:48
  But
• 23:49
  I
• 23:49
  post

  a
• 23:50
  lot
• 23:50
  about
• 23:50
  Steelers,
• 23:51
  Steelers
• 23:51
  history,
• 23:52
  Pittsburgh
• 23:52
  sports
• 23:53
  history.
• 23:53
  But
• 23:53
  you
• 23:54
  can
• 23:54
  find
• 23:54
  me
• 23:54
  pretty
• 23:55
  much
• 23:55
  anywhere
• 23:55
  where
• 23:55
  social
• 23:56
  media
• 23:56
  is
• 23:56
  had.
• 23:57
  Yeah.
• 23:58
  And
• 23:58
  great
• 23:59
  project
• 23:59
  that
• 24:00
  you've
• 24:00
  been
• 24:00
  working
• 24:01
  on
• 24:01
  for,
• 24:01
  for
• 24:02
  months
• 24:02
  here
• 24:02
  is
• 24:03
  that
• 24:03
  Pittsburgh
• 24:04
  Steelers
• 24:04
  rookie
• 24:05
  collection
• 24:06
  that
• 24:06
  many
• 24:07
  of
• 24:07
  us
• 24:07
  have
• 24:07
  saw
• 24:07
  on
• 24:07
  on
• 24:08
  social
• 24:08
  media.
• 24:08
  And
• 24:09
  if
• 24:09
  you
• 24:09
  haven't
• 24:09
  seen
• 24:09
  it
• 24:09
  yet,
• 24:10
  go
• 24:10
  check
• 24:10
  it
• 24:10
  out
• 24:11
  folks,
• 24:11
  because
• 24:11
  it's
• 24:11
  really
• 24:12
  cool
• 24:12
  what
• 24:12
  he's
• 24:13
  done.
• 24:13
  Maybe
• 24:13
  you
• 24:13
  could
• 24:13
  explain
• 24:14
  that
• 24:14
  real
• 24:14
  quick.
• 24:15
  Yeah,
• 24:15
  absolutely.
• 24:16
  So
• 24:16
  my
• 24:16
  original
• 24:17
  goal
• 24:17
  was
• 24:17
  to
• 24:17
  collect
• 24:18
  one
• 24:18
  card
• 24:18
  of
• 24:19
  every
• 24:19
  single
• 24:20
  Pittsburgh
• 24:20
  Steeler
• 24:21
  ever.
• 24:21
  A
• 24:21
  rookie
• 24:22
  card.
• 24:22
  Come
• 24:23
  to
• 24:23
  find
• 24:23
  out
• 24:23
  that
• 24:23
  not
• 24:24
  all
• 24:24
  of
• 24:24
  them
• 24:24
  have
• 24:24
  cards.
• 24:25
  So
• 24:25
  what
• 24:25
  I
• 24:26
  tried
• 24:26
  to
• 24:26
  do
• 24:26
  then
• 24:27
  was
• 24:27
  collect
• 24:28
  an
• 24:28
  item
• 24:28
  that
• 24:28
  depicts
• 24:30
  every
• 24:30
  single
• 24:30
  Steeler
• 24:31
  ever,
• 24:31
  whether
• 24:32
  that
• 24:32
  be
• 24:32
  a
• 24:32
  card,
• 24:33
  a
• 24:33
  program,
• 24:33
  a
• 24:34
  photo
• 24:35
  media
• 24:35
  guide,
• 24:35
  anything
• 24:36
  that
• 24:36
  would
• 24:36
  have
• 24:36
  these
• 24:37
  players
• 24:37
  represented.
• 24:38
  And
• 24:38
  I'm,
• 24:39
  I'm
• 24:39
  down
• 24:40
  to
• 24:42
  double
• 24:42
  digits
• 24:42
  now.
• 24:43
  We
• 24:43
  are
• 24:43
  inching
• 24:44
  in
• 24:44
  on,
• 24:44
  on
• 24:44
  this
• 24:45
  being
• 24:45
  completely
• 24:45
  over.
• 24:46
  We'll
• 24:47
  probably
• 24:47
  redo
• 24:47
  a
• 24:47
  little
• 24:48
  bit
• 24:48
  of
• 24:48
  content
• 24:48
  to
• 24:49
  to
• 24:49
  go
• 24:49
  back
• 24:49
  to
• 24:50
  see
• 24:50
  some
• 24:50
  of
• 24:50
  these
• 24:50
  things.
• 24:51
  But
• 24:51
  it's
• 24:51
  been
• 24:52
  a
• 24:52
  lot
• 24:52
  of
• 24:52
  fun
• 24:52
  hunting
• 24:53
  all
• 24:53
  of
• 24:53
  these
• 24:53
  almost
• 24:54
  1700
• 24:55
  guys.
• 24:56
  Wow,
• 24:56
  that's
• 24:57
  amazing.
• 24:57
  And
• 24:58
  just
• 24:59
  worried
• 24:59
  about
• 24:59
  the
• 24:59
  rookie
• 25:01
  card
• 25:01
  or
• 25:02
  rookie
• 25:02
  item
• 25:02
  I
• 25:03
  guess
• 25:03
  is
• 25:03
  that's
• 25:04
  really
• 25:04
  a
• 25:04
  cool
• 25:04
  project,
• 25:05
  very
• 25:05
  unique
• 25:06
  and
• 25:06
  I
• 25:06
  don't
• 25:06
  think
• 25:06
  you're
• 25:06
  going
• 25:07
  to
• 25:07
  find
• 25:07
  that
• 25:07
  anywhere
• 25:07
  else
• 25:08
  but
• 25:08
  on
• 25:09
  Ryan
• 25:09
  and
• 25:10
  his
• 25:10

• 25:11
  media
• 25:11
  channels
• 25:11
  and
• 25:12
  his
• 25:12
  substack.
• 25:12
  So
• 25:13
  Ryan,
• 25:13
  really
• 25:14
  appreciate
• 25:14
  that
• 25:14
  folks,
