Description

Tweet This episode we fire up the DeLorean and head back to learn about one of the most important events in NFL history, the AFL - NFL merger.  It was thought at the beginning the AFL was just another league that would get stomped out by the NFL, but things pretty quickly, culminating with a merger into one super pro football entity.  So strap on your seat belt, and let’s get ready to take this baby up to 88mph.
