2.5 Hours of NFL Team Origins to Fall Asleep To

Long before Sunday afternoons belonged to the NFL, its oldest teams were small things: a neighborhood club in Chicago, a company team in an Illinois town, a gathering in a Wisconsin newspaper office, a football venture looking for an audience in New York. Tonight, Chris takes you slowly through how nine of the league's oldest franchises began: the Cardinals, Bears, Packers, Giants, Lions, Washington, Steelers, Eagles and Rams, and the 1920 meeting that tied them together. A calm, steady football story, told gently, so you can close your eyes and drift off. The pace slows as the story goes on, and the screen stays dark and quiet: minimal particle animations on a black background, no loud music, no sudden sounds.
