1st Fumble TD with Football Archaeology

There is nothing more exciting in football when a big old defensive lineman  finds a loose ball on the field and takes off in what ESPN's Chris Berman describes as "Rumblin' and Tumblin' towards the endzone, WHOOP!" Today we talk with historian Timothy Brown and his Football Archaeology of the first Scoop 'n score!

There has to be a first time for everything doesn't there? Well the same holds true for events in football history. In this episode we have our weekly visit with author and historian Timothy P. Brown and talk about perhaps the first time a scoop and score was recorded in the game.

You can learn more on Tim's post on the  first scoop and score.
