This episode we fire up the DeLorean and head back to learn about the life and career of Ernie Nevers, a Hall of Fame fullback for the Duluth Eskimos and Chicago Cardinals. Nevers' career was short, but he made the most out of his 5 seasons in the NFL. He still holds the record for most points scored (40) in a game. This is also the oldest record in the history of the NFL. So strap on your seat belt, and let’s get ready to take this baby up to 88mph.
