By Darin The Pottsville Maroons had the top record in the NFL in 1925. All signs pointed to them being crowned the NFL Champions for the season. Still, a lucrative pre-scheduled exhibition game against the Notre Dame All-Stars, an ill NFL President, and a phone call with his stand-in all went awry, leading to the title being stripped of the Maroons. Jeff Payne joins us to share the stories of a couple of pieces of his collection that pertain to the Maroon Lost Title Saga, and one may even change the course of NFL history. We have photos of the items in the accompanying article found here, Pottsville Artifacts.
