Trickery in the NFL May Be Wrong, but It Is Also Legendary*
The NFL was founded by, among others, Chicago Bears player, coach and owner George Halas, a master not just of blocking and tackling but of the edge-giving trick. He was the owner who positioned his marching band by the opposing bench with orders to play whenever the other coach started to talk. He was the strategist who put itching powder in the opponents’ uniforms. He was the innovator who introduced the modern QB-centered offense which, from the start, was nothing but feint, fake and diversion.
