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

Doesn’t maintain hot too long.
I love this cup because the material is good for heavy duty jobs like mine. I took off one star because it does keep hot but not for super long, it lasts hot for about 2-3 hours. Other than that it’s easy to wash and the magnet that comes on the cup is super strong which comes in handy for not loosing it. It magnetized on to the cup.

It's the best.
I'm picky on my coffee cups. Klien though has made a great cup for ones like me who work construction. This tumbler not only keeps your coffee hot, but is tough as hell. I can't count how many times it's fallen, dropped, or accidently kicked and still works like new. The rubber bottom and sides grip great. The magnet is strong and helps with tipping over, or possibly dropping. The locking lid also helps with spills.
