Description

Pre-eminent football historian Ken Crippen speaks with us about the most important players and eras in American football, as well as the mission of his Football Learning Academy.

The FLA offers online classes, videos and a blog that illuminates football history and the impact the game on society. "Giving back to retired players in need" is the FLA's mission, and football fans can help by signing up for classes and generally giving them good traffic.   

We even got in a little chat about Don Hutson's impact (and the APBA asterisk on his 1941 Packers Great Teams of the Past card) starting at 20:47.

The APBA Football Club was launched on Jan. 28, 2011. Bringing the game of APBA Football into the social media world, we offered everything from interviews with APBA icons and players, method-of-play tutorials, close study of the game's player cards and results boards, and much more. In August 2013, we held the first full APBA Football-only tournament at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. After an initial run from 2011-16, we're back to assist in further promoting and educating the APBA community. 66s to all! For podcast ideas and feedback, email apbafootballcluboriginal@gmail.com
