Rochester Jeffersons - John Steffenhagen Interview (Part 1) Tweet

This episode we fire up the DeLorean and head back to March 11, 1892, the birth of this week's hero, Leo Lyons. He was the main guy responsible for building the Rochester Jeffersons from a sandlot team into one of the first franchises of the NFL. Leo was destined to be apart of Pro Football, considering he was born just 8 months and a day before William "Pudge" Heffelfinger, the first documented professional football player. John Steffenhagen is Leo's great-grandson, and he rides shotgun with us today in the DeLorean to take us back to the early days of the NFL, through the eyes of Leo Lyon's.

Here you can find the dedicated John Steffenhagen page.

John has spent many years learning about the history of the Rochester Jeffersons and his great-grandfather, Leo Lyons. The thing that sparked his interest was seeing legends of the NFL in his great-grandfather's kitchen. We're talking Art Rooney, Vince Lombardi, and other NFL giants. He didn't understand the gravity of the situation back then, but then as he grew older, he realized it was a major deal. John has spent a large portion of his life ever since uncovering gridiron knowledge nuggets about one of the first teams in NFL history, the Rochester Jeffersons.

The Quarterback Project (w/ Michael Mertes)

The Football History Dude is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.NETWORK SPONSORSRow One - the vintage shop for sports history fans!EPISODE SUMMARYThis week I spoke with Michael Mertes about a project he started to celebrate the NFL's 100th season, called "The Quarterback Project." He started the project to find a way to determine who the greatest quarterbacks were of all time in the NFL. To do this, Michael created a formula to assign a score. This score helped him rank the quarterbacks, something he's releasing on his site, with the top quarterback being released on the opening night of the 2022 season. We get into many topics during the interview, including: The origin story of The Quarterback Project How he calculated the index score for all of the quarterbacks How the score accounts for quarterbacks in different eras Some quarterbacks ranked higher on the list than he expected Some quarterbacks he thought for sure would have been on the list, but the score didn't dictate it We take the DeLorean back to some great QB duels in history His plans for the future Much more....
