BuffaloBud Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I highly recommend anyone with an interest in NFL history to check this out. It was on the NFL Network last night and was pretty interesting. Programming list does not list it being shown for the next couple of days. Keep your eyes open.
eball Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I second the recommendation. I didn't watch the whole thing, but the segment concerning the AFL/NFL merger was very interesting. Rozelle has always been given the credit for making the merger happen, when it appears he was actually "told" to make it happen by the NFL owners who were afraid of the escalating price war over players. Rozelle apparently wanted to fight the AFL to the death, and even broke down when the NFL owners told him what needed to happen.
