Heard a story that Knute Rockne took his players to Nevers 59 point game. When came out and went to site on the bench, Rockne turned to his players and said, "Gentlemen, that is how you play football."

I'm sorry, I meant the 40 point game.

love that

Most players during that period were dual players that played both sides of the ball.

Wow, I wonder why I’ve never heard of him before.

Great video. I have a whole play list on our KZread channel about him as my husband is HIS SON!

no way?! Thanks for stopping by, that's awesome. I'll check it out, Ernie Nevers was a stud!

Thanks for the video. I was not aware of him or his accomplishments.

That's how it goes. Great players fade, even if they were household names in their prime. When I was a kid watching the NBA Alex English was a superstar. How many fans of this generation even know what team he played for? English was a league scoring champion in the 80s.

It's jim Thorpe, not thrup!

JIM THORPE NOT JIM THROPE!

Yeah, but he never married a full sweatered redhead, and brag about scoring 4 TDs in one game. Tackling Ernie Nevers was like tackling a tank.

Yeah, he had some nice stats, but let him get back to me when he scores four touchdowns for Polk high.

Was he the original owner of Julles Winfield's wallet?
