Can someone give me some background on this show/documentary? I googled it and it says its from "Epix"? Did they mention the connection between Branch Rickey playing football with Charles Follis? I'm guessing they mentioned the Kenny Washington/Jackie Robinson college teammate connection. ...

I came across this recently: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VM ... TF8&btkr=1. I'm not sure if it will help directly, but from the free sample available, it looks well written.

I’m not sure how much this plays into who had the best team of the decade, but does anyone know when the unlimited substitution rule was put into effect? Comparing a team that basically went with 11 players with a team that was more specialized is a tough comparison and I think the 40s is the decade...

Does anyone have any leads where I could get a copy of this? Thanks!

One thing I don't see mentioned much is that Feathers may not have been the NFL's first 1000 yard rusher. That may have been Tex Hamer for the Frankford Yellowjackets in 1924. 789 yards were verified, but figures from 12 of his 14 games are incomplete. He was 30-151 with a TD in his 2 complete games...
