The 3 greatest Giants players in my opinion were Lawrence Taylor, Frank Gifford and Mel Hein and not necessarily in that order

well when your most famous player from your most famous team murdered 2 people in cold blood and got away with it. yeah you are cursed. Do Not RIP OJ !

Thank You in my opinion the New York Football Giants are the greatest franchise in the history of the NFL

Ha Ha Ha Boofalow loses again! Take Simpsons name off your stadiums indoor facade

Hap Moran another Giant great!

of course the Giants trashed ND stars 22-0

Great story. As a Giants and ND fan this was great to listen to. Thank you.

Louis Elbel. The Michigan Marching Band practices on Elbel Field.

Football fan in Canada here. I love learning about sports history. And Darin is an awesome storyteller. I’ve already subscribed and look forward to future segments.

Great interview with Mike Moran.

Very true. The Steelers played in the last Chicago College All Star game in the mid 1970s, and played a CFL squad in an exhibition game in the late 1960s

USFL just trademarked the Canton Bulldogs since the NFL let their rights expire. UFL may place an expansion team in Canton.

Sorry, not true. It was an all deaf football team that huddled because the other team was also deaf and they didn’t want to see the sign language. Gallaudet football team back in 1894. 30 years prior to what this “historian” has to say.

Great video! Just subscribed! Things are sure looking up for the Bears!

Just so you are aware, you have about seven minutes of dead space at the end of your video. Will hurt the algorithm if people click away before your video ends.

Great stuff, as usual!

One clarification - in the Canadian game, while a punt that goes out the back of the end zone results in a single point for the kicking team, a kickoff that does the same does not.* Most CFL fans don't even know this, because a kickoff going out the back of the end zone is extremely rare in the CFL. Longer, wider field and twenty yard deep end zones mean the back of the end zone is 100 yards away from the kicker on a CFL kickoff, as opposed to 75 on a pre-2024 NFL kickoff. Possibly due to the wider field, the CFL has never had the problem that the NFL has had with rampant injuries on kickoff returns and as a result has never been incentivized to 'fix' the kickoff and return. *if it's untouched - if a player on the return team touches it (even a graze) and the ball continues past the end line, it is a single point.

Football bullshit. THEY WEAR PADDING A BOX HELMETS ,FOOTBALL ??? THEY ARE A SOFT BUNCH . AND THEY HAVE A BLOKE IN PADS WHO COMES ON TO KICK THE BALL OVER OR NOT THE BAR THEN GOES OFF TILL NEXT TIME. SOFT . FOOTBALL ADD A GUN OR TWO THEY SEEM TO BE QUITE GOOD AT SHOOTING LITTLE 4 OR 5 YEAR OLDS. THIS COUNTRY IS SCARED OF OTHER COUNTRIES YES WELL WHO HAS A WORLD SERIES THAT ONLY INVOLVES AMERICAN TEAMS SOFT . UNLESS THEY CHEAT YES CHEAT. 7 AMERICANS INCLUDING A WOMAN HAVE BEEN CAUGHT CHEATING ITS ON TV ALL IN GOLF . AND NOT ONLY DOES THIER PAST PRESIDENT WHO NO DOUBT WILL WIN AGAIN CHEAT TO GAIN POWER BUT DOES SO IN GOLF , .LEADING FROM THE FRONT , AND SOON TO BE A CONVICTED BUT STILL CAN RUN FOR OFFICE . NO SOME AMERICANS ARE OK BUT FROM THE TOP CHEATING IS OK IN THIER EYES . SO BACK TO THE POINT FOOTBALL ITS CRAP. IF THEY PLAYED ENGLISH STYLE FINE BUT THEY DO NOT , IF THEY PLAYED THE AUSTRAILIAN VERSION I.E. RULES THEN THAT IS FOOTBALL .

Yost did not start coaching at Michigan until 1901. He was not the Michigan coach in 1899.

Thankfully the algorithm brought me here. Really enjoyed and now subscribed.

I think he was better than some of the guys the Giants have now.

Here's another rule that we never hear about: Prior to 1960, an incomplete pass thrown out one's own endzone resulted in a safety. In 1960 it was changed to an ordinary play. Tom Landry was the first to take advantage of this rule change. He began throwing long out of his own endzone which was unheard of in those days. He got cannon-armed Don Meredith to take a deep drop to the endline and throw long to Billy Howton, Bob Hayes and Frank Clarke even when backed up to his own 1- yard line. Tom Landry was a really innovative offensive coach.

I remember back in the early 70's (NFL game) if you tried a foward pass on 4th down inside the opponent's 20 year line, it came out to the 20. So if it was 4th and 1 from the opponent's 1 yard line, an incomplete pass would result in a touchback. Nowadays nobody remembers that rule. Nor is there any mention of that rule change which took place in the mid-70's. This was back in the day when hurdling was a foul.

The Steelers really invested in special teams in '78 and '79, adding Larry Anderson for returns, then Matt Bahr in '79 as kicker. And who can forget Randy Reutershan and Jack Deloplaine?

Nice video! Thanks !! If I was you I would employ S M Z E U S!!!

A powerful story that shows that even 90 years ago, the popularity of a football icon could change the course of big business.

The last statement is an unbelievable fact!

Tim researched a dandy of a story in this one. Getting a jersey retired has got to be one of the greatest honors bestowed on a player by his team. it was here with these three individuals that the tradition started.

This man does not get the credit he deserves in football history. It could not have been easy to accomplish what he did in the era he played in.

Football history happens almost every day of the year! Let me know your feedback.

Darin, thanks so much for having the Giffer and me on the Pigskin Dispatch to tell this incredible story of the 1963 Navy team and the association with JFK. All football fans should know about this epic episode in both college football history and our nation's history.

Great video!

Those Matthews boys sure lasted a long time. Clay Sr. played forever too.

Good stuff as always guys!

Yes! Kevin Greene, one of the all time greats!

222-0! I can't even imagine. They must have been scoring on almost every play.

Good video keep up the content
