  most
• 1:24
  accomplished
• 1:25

  Question
• 1:26
  mark,
• 1:27
  Tim,
• 1:27
  were
• 1:28
  they
• 1:28
  the
• 1:28
  most
• 1:28
  accomplished
• 1:29
  team
• 1:29
  ever?
• 1:31
  Well,
• 1:32
  if
• 1:33
  somebody
• 1:33
  knows
• 1:34
  of
• 1:34
  a
• 1:34
  more
• 1:34
  accomplished
• 1:35
  team,
• 1:36
  please
• 1:37
  let
• 1:37
  us
• 1:38
  know.
• 1:38
  Comment
• 1:39
  below.
• 1:41
  And
• 1:41
  well,
• 1:42
  and
• 1:42
  you
• 1:42
  know,
• 1:42
  I
• 1:42
  specifically
• 1:43
  used
• 1:43
  the
• 1:44
  term
• 1:44
  accomplished.
• 1:46
  So
• 1:46
  meaning,
• 1:47
  okay,
• 1:47
  were
• 1:47
  they
• 1:48
  the
• 1:48
  best
• 1:48
  team
• 1:48
  ever?
• 1:49
  That
• 1:50
  one
• 1:50
  is
• 1:50
  becomes
• 1:50
  much
• 1:51
  harder
• 1:51
  to
• 1:51
  even
• 1:52
  begin
• 1:52
  to
• 1:52
  argue
• 1:53
  given
• 1:53
  the
• 1:53
  difference
• 1:53
  in
• 1:55
  football
• 1:55
  teams
• 1:56
  from
• 1:57
  one
• 1:57
  period
• 1:57
  to
• 1:57
  the
• 1:58
  next.
• 2:00
  But
• 2:00
  in
• 2:00
  terms
• 2:01
  of
• 2:01
  whether
• 2:01
  or
• 2:02
  not
• 2:02
  they
• 2:02
  were
• 2:02
  the
• 2:02
  most
• 2:02
  accomplished,
• 2:03
  I
• 2:04
  just,
• 2:04
  I'm
• 2:04
  not
• 2:05
  aware
• 2:05
  of
• 2:05
  any
• 2:05
  other
• 2:05
  team
• 2:06
  that
• 2:08
  that
• 2:09
  comes
• 2:09
  close.
• 2:10
  So,
• 2:12
  so
• 2:13
  let
• 2:13
  me
• 2:13
  kind
• 2:14
  of
• 2:14
  define
• 2:14
  how
• 2:15
  this,
• 2:15
  you
• 2:16
  know,
• 2:16
  how
• 2:16
  this
• 2:16
  thing
• 2:16
  worked
• 2:16
  out.
• 2:17
  So
• 2:17
  Yale
• 2:17
  was
• 2:17
  celebrating
• 2:18
  its
• 2:18
  200th
• 2:19
  anniversary
• 2:20
  in
• 2:21
  1901.
• 2:21
  So
• 2:22
  they,
• 2:23
  they
• 2:23
  scheduled
• 2:24
  a
• 2:24
  Wednesday
• 2:25
  afternoon
• 2:25
  doubleheader.
• 2:26
  They
• 2:26
  varsity
• 2:27
  played
• 2:27
  Bates
• 2:28
  in
• 2:28
  the
• 2:28
  afternoon
• 2:28
  and
• 2:29
  they
• 2:29
  won
• 2:29
  21
• 2:29
  nothing.
• 2:30
  Then,
• 2:31
  then
• 2:31
  there
• 2:31
  was
• 2:32
  a
• 2:32
  second
• 2:32
  game.
• 2:33
  It
• 2:34
  was
• 2:35
  the
• 2:35
  alums
• 2:36
  versus
• 2:37
  the
• 2:37
  varsity
• 2:38
  second
• 2:38
  team
• 2:39
  and
• 2:40
  they
• 2:40
  played
• 2:40
  two
• 2:40
  10
• 2:40
  minute
• 2:41
  half.
• 2:41
  So
• 2:41
  it
• 2:41
  wasn't,
• 2:41
  it
• 2:42
  wasn't
• 2:42
  a
• 2:42
  full
• 2:42
  game.
• 2:44
  But
• 2:44
  the,
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  alums
• 2:47
  had
• 2:47
  22
• 2:47
  players
• 2:48
  on
• 2:48
  the
• 2:48
  team
• 2:49
  and
• 2:50
  of
• 2:51
  those
• 2:51
  players,
• 2:53
  eight
• 2:54
  were
• 2:54
  former
• 2:55
  Yale
• 2:55
  captains,
• 2:57
  seven
• 2:57

  There
• 3:01
  were
• 3:02
  15
• 3:03
  consensus
• 3:04
  all
• 3:04
  Americans.
• 3:05
  So
• 3:05
  not
• 3:05
  just,
• 3:06
  they
• 3:06
  were
• 3:06
  named
• 3:06
  on

  consensus
• 3:09
  all

• 3:10
  Of

  the

  22,
• 3:12
  including

• 3:18
  they
• 3:18

  And
• 3:21

  But
• 5:28
  it
• 5:28
  also
• 5:29
  tells
• 5:29
  you
• 5:29
  how
• 5:29
  simple
• 5:29
  football
• 5:30
  was
• 5:30
  in
• 5:30
  many
• 5:30
  respects.
• 5:31
  You
• 5:31
  know,
• 5:31
  that.
• 5:32
  That
• 5:32
  you
• 5:32
  could
• 5:32
  get
• 5:33
  out
• 5:33
  there
• 5:33
  and
• 5:34
  play
• 5:34
  a
• 5:35
  game.
• 5:35
  You
• 5:35
  know,
• 5:36
  all
• 5:36
  you're.
• 5:36
  All
• 5:36
  you're
• 5:36
  doing
• 5:37
  is
• 5:37
  run
• 5:37
  the
• 5:37
  ball
• 5:37
  up
• 5:37
  the
• 5:37
  gut,
• 5:38
  you
• 5:38
  know,
• 5:38
  pretty
• 5:38
  much
• 5:39
  no
• 5:39
  forward
• 5:39
  passing
• 5:40
  yet.
• 5:41
  So.
• 5:42
  So
• 5:42
  it's
• 5:43
  either
• 5:43
  pitch
• 5:43
  it
• 5:44
  wide
• 5:44
  to
• 5:44
  the
• 5:44
  fast
• 5:45
  guy
• 5:45
  or
• 5:45
  run
• 5:45
  it
• 5:45
  up
• 5:46
  the
• 5:46
  gut
• 5:46
  and,
• 5:46
  you
• 5:46
  know,
• 5:47
  kind
• 5:47
  of
• 5:47
  pound
• 5:48
  it
• 5:48
  out.
• 5:50
  So
• 5:50
  anyway,
• 5:51
  it's
• 5:51
  just
• 5:51
  a.
• 5:52
  Just
• 5:52
  an
• 5:52
  amazing
• 5:53
  group
• 5:53
  of
• 5:54
  guys
• 5:54
  that
• 5:54
  played
• 5:55
  in
• 5:55
  that
• 5:55
  game
• 5:56
  and,
• 5:56
  you
• 5:57
  know,
• 5:57
  kind
• 5:57
  of
• 5:57
  unlike,
• 5:58
  you
• 5:58
  know,
• 5:59
  even
• 5:59
  you
• 5:59
  think
• 5:59
  about
• 5:59
  a
• 5:59
  Pro
• 6:00
  bowl
• 6:00
  team,
• 6:00
  you
• 6:00
  know,
• 6:01
  like,
• 6:02
  none
• 6:02
  of
• 6:02
  them
• 6:02
  have,
• 6:05
  you
• 6:05
  know,
• 6:05
  eight
• 6:05
  or,
• 6:06
  you
• 6:06
  know,
• 6:06
  15
• 6:07
  consensus
• 6:07
  all
• 6:08
  Americans.
• 6:08
  No,
• 6:09
  you
• 6:09
  know,
• 6:10
  I
• 6:10
  mean,
• 6:10
  that's
• 6:10
  just
• 6:11
  not
• 6:11
  the
• 6:11
  way
• 6:11
  it
• 6:11
  works.
• 6:12
  So
• 6:13
  anyways,
• 6:14
  I
• 6:14
  don't
• 6:14
  even
• 6:14
  think
• 6:14
  you
• 6:15
  could
• 6:15
  take
• 6:15
  one
• 6:15
  of
• 6:15
  the.
• 6:16
  The,
• 6:16
  like,
• 6:16
  Chicago
• 6:17
  College
• 6:17
  all
• 6:18
  Star
• 6:18
  teams
• 6:18
  and
• 6:19
  they
• 6:19
  would
• 6:19
  do
• 6:19
  that
• 6:20
  many.
• 6:20
  You
• 6:20
  know,
• 6:20
  they
• 6:21
  wouldn't
• 6:21
  even
• 6:21
  be
• 6:21
  close
• 6:21
  to
• 6:22
  that.
• 6:22
  That's
• 6:22
  amazing.
• 6:23
  Yeah.
• 6:24
  Yeah.
• 6:25
  And,
• 6:25
  you
• 6:26
  know,
• 6:26
  I
• 6:26
  mean,
• 6:27
  back
• 6:27
  then,
• 6:27
  you
• 6:28
  know,
• 6:28
  it
• 6:28
  was.
• 6:30
  I
• 6:30
  think
• 6:30
  it
• 6:30
  was
• 6:31
  1914
• 6:32
  was
• 6:32
  the
• 6:33
  first
• 6:33
  year
• 6:34
  from
• 6:34
  1889
• 6:35
  until
• 6:36
  through
• 6:36
  1913,
• 6:37
  I
• 6:37
  think
• 6:37
  it
• 6:38
  was.
• 6:38
  At
• 6:39
  least
• 6:39
  one
• 6:39
  Yale
• 6:39
  player
• 6:40
  was
• 6:40
  named
• 6:40
  first
• 6:40
  team
• 6:40
  All
• 6:41
  American
• 6:41
  every
• 6:41
  year.
• 6:42
  Now
• 6:43
  they
• 6:43
  were
• 6:43
  the
• 6:44
  dominant
• 6:44
  program,
• 6:44
  and
• 6:45
  there
• 6:45
  just
• 6:45
  weren't.
• 6:45
  There
• 6:46
  were
• 6:46
  only,
• 6:46
  you
• 6:46
  know,
• 6:46
  four
• 6:47
  or
• 6:47
  five
• 6:48
  programs
• 6:48
  that
• 6:48
  really
• 6:49
  could
• 6:49
  even
• 6:50
  match
• 6:50
  up
• 6:50
  with
• 6:50
  them
• 6:50
  at
• 6:51
  all
• 6:52
  until
• 6:52
  that
• 6:52
  point,
• 6:53
  you
• 6:53
  know,
• 6:53
  so
• 6:54
  they.
• 6:54
  They
• 6:54
  had
• 6:54
  a
• 6:54
  lot
• 6:54
  of
• 6:54
  all
• 6:55
  Americans,
• 6:55
  but
• 6:55
  You
• 6:55
  know,
• 6:56
  the
• 6:56
  fact
• 6:56
  is,
• 6:56
  they
• 6:56
  were
• 6:56
  the
• 6:56
  best
• 6:57
  players
• 6:57
  out
• 6:57
  there,
• 6:57
  you
• 6:57
  know?
• 6:58
  Know.
• 6:58
  Yeah.
• 6:58
  Was
• 6:59
  there
• 6:59
  some
• 6:59
  guy
• 6:59
  at
• 6:59
  Kansas
• 7:00
  or
• 7:00
  at,
• 7:00
  you
• 7:00
  know,
• 7:01
  Michigan
• 7:01
  who
• 7:01
  was
• 7:01
  better?
• 7:02
  Yeah,
• 7:02
  probably.
• 7:03
  But,
• 7:05
  you
• 7:05
  know,
• 7:05
  these
• 7:05
  were
• 7:06
  definitely
• 7:06
  among
• 7:06
  the
• 7:07
  best
• 7:07
  players
• 7:08
  in
• 7:08
  the
• 7:08
  country
• 7:09
  at
• 7:09
  the
• 7:09
  time,
• 7:09
  though
• 7:09
  the
• 7:09
  population
• 7:10
  of
• 7:10
  players
• 7:10
  was
• 7:11
  smaller.
• 7:12
  Yeah.
• 7:12
  So
• 7:12
  they.
• 7:13
  They
• 7:13
  were
• 7:13
  the
• 7:14
  most
• 7:14
  accomplished
• 7:14
  in
• 7:15
  my
• 7:15
  mind.
• 7:15
  So.
• 7:16
  Yeah,
• 7:16
  I.
• 7:17
  I
• 7:17
  don't
• 7:17
  think
• 7:17
  there's
• 7:17
  any
• 7:17
  doubt
• 7:18
  about
• 7:18
  it.
• 7:18
  I
• 7:18
  mean,
• 7:18
  it
• 7:18
  sure.
• 7:18
  It
• 7:19
  sure
• 7:19
  helped
• 7:19
  that
• 7:20
  one
• 7:20
  of
• 7:20
  their
• 7:20
  former
• 7:21
  coaches
• 7:21
  and
• 7:21
  alums
• 7:22
  were.
• 7:23
  Was
• 7:23
  picking
• 7:23
  the
• 7:23
  All
• 7:23
  American
• 7:24
  team
• 7:24
  for
• 7:24
  many
• 7:25
  years,
• 7:25
  but
• 7:26
  he
• 7:27
  often
• 7:27
  was.
• 7:27
  Walter
• 7:28
  Came's
• 7:28
  often
• 7:29
  accused
• 7:29
  of
• 7:29
  east
• 7:30
  coast
• 7:30
  bias,
• 7:31
  like
• 7:31
  it
• 7:31
  still
• 7:32
  exists
• 7:32
  today,
• 7:32
  you
• 7:32
  know,
• 7:33
  but
• 7:34
  it's
• 7:34
  a.
• 7:34
  I
• 7:34
  mean,
• 7:35
  that's
• 7:35
  an
• 7:35
  amazing
• 7:35
  thing.
• 7:36
  I
• 7:36
  mean,
• 7:36
  you
• 7:36
  think
• 7:36
  about
• 7:36
  it,
• 7:37
  in
• 7:37
  1901,
• 7:37
  Walter
• 7:38
  Camp
• 7:38
  had
• 7:38
  to
• 7:39
  be
• 7:39
  in
• 7:39
  his
• 7:39
  40s
• 7:39
  at
• 7:40
  that
• 7:40
  point.
• 7:40
  Yeah,
• 7:40
  it's
• 7:40
  42.
• 7:41
  Yeah.
• 7:41
  Okay.
• 7:42
  Yeah.
• 7:42
  And,
• 7:42
  you
• 7:42
  know,
• 7:42
  Pudge
• 7:43
  Hufflefinger,
• 7:43
  that's
• 7:44
  nine
• 7:44
  years
• 7:44
  removed
• 7:45
  from
• 7:45
  him
• 7:45
  playing,
• 7:45
  being
• 7:46
  the
• 7:46
  first
• 7:46
  paid
• 7:47
  professional
• 7:47
  player,
• 7:48
  which
• 7:48
  was
• 7:48
  years
• 7:48
  after
• 7:49
  he
• 7:49
  played
• 7:49
  for
• 7:49
  Yale.
• 7:50
  So
• 7:50
  he's
• 7:51
  got
• 7:51
  to
• 7:51
  be
• 7:51
  in
• 7:51
  his
• 7:51
  mid-30s
• 7:52
  or
• 7:53
  so,
• 7:53
  you
• 7:53
  know.
• 7:54
  Yeah,
• 7:54
  he's.
• 7:55
  Well,
• 7:55
  Heffelfinger.
• 7:55
  He
• 7:55
  still.
• 7:56
  He
• 7:56
  showed
• 7:56
  up
• 7:56
  in
• 7:57
  some
• 7:57
  game.
• 7:57
  I
• 7:57
  forget
• 7:58
  exactly
• 7:58
  what
• 7:58
  it
• 7:58
  was
• 7:58
  like.
• 7:58
  He
• 7:59
  was
• 7:59
  like
• 7:59
  54
• 7:59
  and
• 8:00
  he.
• 8:00
  He
• 8:00
  was
• 8:00
  out
• 8:00
  there,
• 8:01
  you
• 8:01
  know,
• 8:02
  playing,
• 8:02
  and,
• 8:03
  you
• 8:03
  know,
• 8:03
  I
• 8:04
  mean,
• 8:04
  the
• 8:04
  game
• 8:04
  had
• 8:04
  obviously
• 8:04
  passed
• 8:05
  him
• 8:05
  by.
• 8:05
  But,
• 8:05
  you
• 8:06
  know,
• 8:06
  he
• 8:06
  had.
• 8:06
  He
• 8:06
  was
• 8:07
  a
• 8:07
  guy
• 8:07
  who.
• 8:08
  A
• 8:08
  lot
• 8:08
  of
• 8:08
  times
• 8:09
  he
• 8:09
  would
• 8:09
  help
• 8:09
  out
• 8:09
  at
• 8:09
  Minnesota,
• 8:10
  you
• 8:10
  know,
• 8:10
  he.
• 8:11
  Just.
• 8:11
  Because
• 8:12
  he
• 8:12
  lived
• 8:12
  there,
• 8:12
  and
• 8:13
  so,
• 8:13
  you
• 8:14
  know,
• 8:14
  he'd
• 8:14
  help
• 8:14
  out
• 8:15
  local
• 8:15
  college
• 8:16
  teams
• 8:16
  up
• 8:16
  there.
• 8:16
  And
• 8:17
  I
• 8:17
  think
• 8:17
  I.
• 8:17
  Well,
• 8:18
  there
• 8:18
  are
• 8:18
  two
• 8:18
  helpful
• 8:19
  fingers
• 8:19
  that
• 8:19
  played
• 8:19
  for
• 8:20
  Yale
• 8:21
  in
• 8:21
  the.
• 8:22
  Somewhere
• 8:23
  in
• 8:23
  the
• 8:23
  teens
• 8:23
  or
• 8:23
  20s,
• 8:24
  and
• 8:24
  I
• 8:24
  think
• 8:24
  they
• 8:24
  were
• 8:25
  his
• 8:25
  sons.
• 8:25
  I'm
• 8:26
  not
• 8:26
  positive
• 8:26
  about
• 8:26
  that,
• 8:27
  but.
• 8:28
  So
• 8:28
  anyways,
• 8:29
  he
• 8:29
  was
• 8:29
  still
• 8:29
  connected
• 8:29
  with
• 8:30
  the
• 8:30
  game.
• 8:30
  You
• 8:30
  know,
• 8:31
  I.
• 8:31
  I
• 8:31
  saw
• 8:31
  a
• 8:33
  image
• 8:33
  recently.
• 8:34
  I
• 8:34
  forget
• 8:35
  where
• 8:35
  I
• 8:35
  even
• 8:35
  saw
• 8:35
  it,
• 8:36
  but
• 8:36
  it
• 8:36
  was
• 8:36
  of
• 8:36
  Pudge
• 8:36
  Heffelfinger
• 8:37
  at
• 8:38
  Minnesota.
• 8:39
  And
• 8:39
  he's
• 8:39
  like,
• 8:39
  sort
• 8:40
  of
• 8:40
  standing
• 8:40
  there,
• 8:40
  like,
• 8:41
  in
• 8:41
  between
• 8:41
  plays,
• 8:41
  and
• 8:42
  he's,
• 8:42
  like,
• 8:42
  talking
• 8:42
  with
• 8:42
  some
• 8:42
  teammates,
• 8:43
  and
• 8:43
  they're
• 8:44
  like.
• 8:44
  Their
• 8:45
  heads
• 8:45
  are
• 8:45
  like,
• 8:45
  to
• 8:45
  his
• 8:46
  chest.
• 8:46
  I
• 8:46
  didn't
• 8:46
  realize
• 8:47
  know.
• 8:47
  I
• 8:47
  knew
• 8:48
  he
• 8:48
  had
• 8:48
  to
• 8:48
  be
• 8:48
  a
• 8:48
  big
• 8:48
  guy
• 8:49
  to
• 8:49
  be
• 8:49
  as
• 8:50
  popular,
• 8:50
  but
• 8:50
  I
• 8:50
  didn't
• 8:51
  realize
• 8:51
  he
• 8:51
  was
• 8:51
  that
• 8:51
  big.
• 8:51
  He's,
• 8:52
  you
• 8:52
  know,
• 8:52
  he's
• 8:52
  a
• 8:52
  head
• 8:52
  taller
• 8:53
  than
• 8:53
  anybody
• 8:54
  else
• 8:54
  around
• 8:54
  him.
• 8:54
  That's
• 8:55
  amazing.
• 8:55
  Yeah,
• 8:56
  I
• 8:56
  think
• 8:56
  he
• 8:56
  was.
• 8:56
  Even
• 8:57
  then,
• 8:57
  he
• 8:57
  was
• 8:57
  only
• 8:57
  like
• 8:58
  6:3.
• 8:58
  He
• 8:58
  was
• 8:58
  like
• 8:59
  6:3.
• 9:00
  You
• 9:00
  know,
• 9:01
  in
• 9:01
  his
• 9:01
  athletic
• 9:02
  prime,
• 9:02
  he
• 9:02
  was
• 9:02
  probably
• 9:03
  225,
• 9:05
  something
• 9:05
  like
• 9:05
  that.
• 9:05
  Like,
• 9:06
  as
• 9:06
  a
• 9:06
  freshman,
• 9:06
  he
• 9:06
  was
• 9:07
  much
• 9:07
  lighter
• 9:07
  than
• 9:08
  that,
• 9:08
  but.
• 9:10
  Yes,
• 9:10
  but
• 9:11
  I
• 9:11
  mean
• 9:11
  he
• 9:11
  was
• 9:11
  just
• 9:12
  one
• 9:12
  of
• 9:12
  those,
• 9:12
  you
• 9:12
  know,
• 9:12
  he
• 9:13
  wasn't
• 9:13
  lifting
• 9:13
  weights,
• 9:13
  he
• 9:14
  was
• 9:14
  just
• 9:14
  naturally
• 9:14
  a
• 9:15
  big
• 9:15
  fella,
• 9:16
  but
• 9:16
  still
• 9:16
  nothing
• 9:17
  compared
• 9:17
  to
• 9:17
  the
• 9:18
  size
• 9:18
  of
• 9:18
  the
• 9:19
  guys
• 9:19
  that
• 9:19
  are
• 9:19
  out
• 9:19
  there
• 9:20
  today,
• 9:20
  you
• 9:20
  know.
• 9:21
  Yeah.
• 9:22
  So
• 9:23
  it
• 9:23
  just
• 9:23
  tells
• 9:23
  you
• 9:23
  how,
• 9:23
  you
• 9:23
  know,
• 9:24
  how
• 9:24
  many,
• 9:24
  you
• 9:24
  know,
• 9:24
  there
• 9:24
  were
• 9:24
  lots
• 9:25
  of
• 9:25
  really
• 9:26
  top
• 9:26
  notch
• 9:27
  players
• 9:27
  who
• 9:27
  were,
• 9:28
  you
• 9:28
  know,
• 9:28
  especially
• 9:28
  running
• 9:29
  backs
• 9:29
  who
• 9:29
  were
• 9:29
  five,
• 9:30
  five,
• 9:30
  I
• 9:30
  think
• 9:30
  Poe,
• 9:31
  who
• 9:31
  we
• 9:31
  talked
• 9:31
  about
• 9:31
  last
• 9:32
  week,
• 9:32
  I
• 9:32
  think
• 9:32
  he
• 9:32
  was
• 9:33
  only
• 9:33
  five,
• 9:33
  five.
• 9:34
  You
• 9:34
  know,
• 9:34
  so
• 9:34
  there's,
• 9:35
  there
• 9:35
  were
• 9:36
  a
• 9:36
  lot
• 9:36
  of
• 9:36
  guys
• 9:36
  like
• 9:36
  that
• 9:36
  still
• 9:37
  that,
• 9:37
  you
• 9:38
  know,
• 9:38
  ends
• 9:39
  and
• 9:39
  tackles
• 9:39
  who
• 9:39
  were
• 9:39
  five,
• 9:40
  eight,
• 9:40
  you
• 9:40
  know,
• 9:40
  they
• 9:40
  just
• 9:41
  were
• 9:42
  good
• 9:42
  all
• 9:42
  around
• 9:42
  athletes
• 9:43
  and
• 9:43
  you
• 9:43
  know,
• 9:43
  tough
• 9:43
  kids
• 9:44
  and
• 9:44
  so.
• 9:46
  Yeah,
• 9:46
  wow.
• 9:47
  Great
• 9:48
  storied
• 9:48
  programs
• 9:49
  of
• 9:49
  college
• 9:49
  football
• 9:50
  and
• 9:50
  in
• 9:51
  that
• 9:51
  era,
• 9:51
  especially
• 9:52
  those,
• 9:52
  you
• 9:52
  know,
• 9:53
  20
• 9:53
  some
• 9:54
  years
• 9:55
  prior
• 9:55
  to
• 9:55
  that.
• 9:55
  And
• 9:56
  yeah,
• 9:56
  they
• 9:57
  definitely
• 9:57
  had
• 9:57
  some,
• 9:58
  some
• 9:58
  guys
• 9:58
  to
• 9:58
  pick
• 9:58
  from.
• 9:59
  Probably
• 10:00
  the
• 10:00
  team
• 10:00
  that
• 10:01
  the
• 10:01
  guys
• 10:01
  that
• 10:01
  weren't
• 10:02
  able
• 10:02
  to
• 10:02
  play
• 10:02
  with,
• 10:03
  with
• 10:03
  those
• 10:03
  22,
• 10:04
  they
• 10:04
  were
• 10:04
  probably
• 10:04
  pretty
• 10:04
  good
• 10:05
  too.
• 10:07
  Yeah.
• 10:08
  Yeah.
• 10:08
  I
• 10:08
  mean
• 10:08
  there
• 10:08
  actually
• 10:09
  there
• 10:09
  were
• 10:09
  a
• 10:09
  few
• 10:09
  guys
• 10:10
  who
• 10:10
  were
• 10:10
  at
• 10:10
  the
• 10:10
  game
• 10:11
  and
• 10:11
  didn't
• 10:11
  participate
• 10:12
  who
• 10:12
  were.
• 10:13
  Had
• 10:13
  been
• 10:14
  stars
• 10:14
  themselves.
• 10:15
  So
• 10:15
  you
• 10:16
  know
• 10:16
  it.
• 10:16
  But
• 10:16
  that
• 10:17
  had
• 10:17
  to
• 10:17
  be
• 10:17
  a
• 10:17
  heck
• 10:17
  of
• 10:17
  a
• 10:17

  field
• 10:19
  with
• 10:19
  those
• 10:20
  guys
• 10:20
  and
• 10:20
  mix
• 10:21
  it
• 10:21
  up
• 10:21
  a
• 10:21
  little
• 10:21
  bit.
• 10:22
  Yeah,
• 10:22
  too
• 10:23
  bad
• 10:23
  Edison
• 10:24
  didn't

• 10:28
  film
• 10:29
  it.
• 10:29
  That
• 10:29
  would
• 10:29
  have

  something.
• 10:30
  Yeah.
• 10:31
  Yeah,
• 10:31
