By Darin Here are some of the headlines we hit on in this episode: A graduation hits a Texas High School Football team hard, and we celebrate some Hall of Fame birthdays with the player profiles of Jim Thorpe and a World Series hero, among other great legends of the game.
To hear more about Jim Thorpe, please go to our friend and SHN partner Os Davis on the Truly he GOATs episode 1. Also, The Football History Dude, Arnie Chapman, has a two-parter on Thorpe available here on SHN.
We would like to thank the National Football Foundation, Pro Football Hall of Fame, On this day.com, and Pro Football Reference Websites for the information shared with you today.
