But it's only a game.Baydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00751866865203182109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360557762116828277.post-34638416276284066652010-08-25T23:15:52.302-04:002010-08-25T23:15:52.302-04:00Professional football may well have started in the...Professional football may well have started in the Mid-West.
