[@JABARDELLI]

Great Production by you, ET. You nailed it in every dimension within your verbal recitation and the video production was excellent. Thank you! You are to be commended for this wonderful production and there is no athlete more deserving of the tribute rendered aside from James Francis Thorpe! Thank you so much, ET!

I remember reading a biography of Jim Thorpe when I was in elementary school (we're talking about like 1970). I was very impressed then and remain so. Thanks.

Jim Thorpe said his happiest years were when he was playing Pro Football with the Canton Bulldogs. At halftime of a game he put on a punting exhibition and punted the ball from one end zone to the other.

Great book, Carlisle vs Army. I think you recommended it a while back.

[@ET-RAMBLINGS]

Yeah, it's a good read.

Fascinating story of such a superb athlete and humble being. I memorize birthdays as a hobby and Mr. Thorpe’s is especially challenging. See Jim Thorpe, Astrodatabank, Source Notes. He was born in May, 1987, but read the arguments for two days: May 22 and 28. Even the place of birth is disputed. Bo Jackson might be the guy who would best challenge Jim Thorpe for being the athlete of the century.

I read that the Native American football players didn't give their all unless it was fun for them.
