The National Forgotten League: Entertaining Stories and Observations from Pro Football's First Fifty YearsThe first fifty years of America's most popular spectator sport have been strangely neglected by historians claiming to tell the "complete story" of pro football. Well, here are the early stories that "complete story" has left out. What about the awful secret carried around by Sid Luckman, the Bears' Hall of Fame quarterback whose father was a mobster and a murderer? Or Steve Hamas, who briefly played in the NFL then turned to boxing and beat Max
The first fifty years of America's most popular spectator sport have been strangely neglected by historians claiming to tell the "complete story" of pro football. Well, here are the early stories that "complete story" has left out. What about the awful secret carried around by Sid Luckman, the Bears' Hall of Fame quarterback whose father was a mobster and a murderer? Or Steve Hamas, who briefly played in the NFL then turned to boxing and beat Max Schmeling, conqueror of Joe Louis? Or the two one-armed players who suited up for NFL teams in 1945? Or Steelers owner Art Rooney postponing a game in 1938 because of injuries? These are just a few of the little-known facts Dan Daly unearths in recounting the untold history of pro football in its first half century. These decades were also full of ideas and experimentation, such as the invention of the modern T formation that revolutionized offense, unlimited player substitution, and soccer-style kicking, as well as the emergence of televised pro football as prime-time entertainment. Relying on obscure sources, original interviews, old game films and statistical databases, Daly's extensive research and engaging stories bring the NFL's formative years--and pro football's folk roots--to life.Binding Type: Paperback

Perfect to make extension cords
Size: 20FT, Style: 16AWG-3C
I have several portable tungsten work lights on stands. They product a high level of light which is great for work in a place without adequate lighting. I can move the lights around and get the best lighting. The problem is that they have short cords. This wire, the 16AWG (with the addition of a plug and a receptacle) will solve that problem. The outer jacket is rugged enough to handle daily use and it is light enough that it is not a bother to carry several to the work site.
With a rating of 13.1 amps it maybe a little light to use as a replacement cord for power tools, but this wire does come in several other sizes including 14AWG which should work on most tools.

nice 3 strand 16 gauge wire
Size: 20FT, Style: 16AWG-3C, Size: 20FT, Style: 16AWG-3C
This review is for a 20 foot sample of 3 stranded 16 gauge wire. 300V capacity. Using a multimeter, I got a resistance reading of 0.2 ohms across each of the three strands (at roughly 68 degrees Farenheit). Specs say 26 strands of 0.254 mm Tinned copper wire are inside each cable. Good flexibility in the covering.
