The old ‘Eskimo Brothers’ as we called them, what a powerhouse!?

 

thats very cool and I’m sure something the entire family will remember forever. Think about the odds of having three sons make it to the NFL! I can only imagine what his entire family must of done to help them along the way achieve their goals. Great stuff!

‘Cobb Rooney’, well that’s a 1920s football name if I ever heard one!

 

Wonder if they are related to the Rooney family that owns the Steelers?

Thanks for sharing, but  maybe read the story too.

 

Should have said modern NFL history...1927 barely even counts as they didn't even throw the ball ?

You mean like the Ravens?

 

 

They have probably already thrown more passes than the entire league did in 1927

i have respect for history and the past greats, i would not throw pro sports under the bus for 1927, especially for baseball

That Duluth team of 1927 was a force to be reckoned with! 

 

What a gene pool!
