How can one day have so many huge events in football history? I don't know if there is a day with more and bigger events than October 18. American football was essentially developed in one Walter Camp Rules revision, while Racial and Gender barriers fell in the game on this date in history. Team those up with performances and birthdays such as Grange, Brady, Gregg, and Ditka, WOW! What a day! And what a podcast!
