It’s hard to imagine a time when America’s sport was anything but what it is today, but there was indeed a time when gridiron football was in its infancy, developing into the sport we know and love. That development needed visionaries and obsessives to imagine new ways to play the sport, luminaries like John Heisman. Join Tim and Derek for a lighthearted jaunt through the life and career of one of the architects of American football. From backyards in Pennsylvania to the birthplaces of southern football dynasties, hear the story of the coach who’s name is still the mark of greatness in the most popular sport in the nation.

 

Rules:

1. Every time our guy has a winning season - sip 2. Every time our guy moves to a different school - 3 sips 3. Every time Derek tells some crazy story - shot
