Author and historian Tim Brown visits the Pigpen to help educate us on how the forward pass became legal in the game of football and why. Time has some great books : How Football Became Football & Fields of Friendly Strife both of which I highly recommend you get your hands on to learn more about the game's history. Also Tim has a great website also called Fields of Friendly Strife where he shares some brilliantly recorded history of the game.
