  • 1920 Akron Pros Ken Crippen
    Building a Champion: 1920 Akron Pros Ken Crippen BUILDING A CHAMPION: 1920 AKRON PROS By Ken Crippen It’s time to dig deep into the archives to talk about the first National Football League (NFL) champion. In fact, the 1920 Akron Pros were champions before the NFL was called the NFL. In 1920, the American Professional Football Association was formed and started play. Currently, fourteen teams are included in the league standings, but it is unclear as to how many were official members of the Association. Different from today’s game, the champion was not determined on the field, but during a vote at a league meeting. Championship games did not start until 1932. Also, there were no set schedules. Teams could extend their season in order to try and gain wins to influence voting the following spring. These late-season games were usually against lesser opponents in order to pad their win totals. To discuss the Akron Pros, we must first travel back to the century’s first decade. Starting in 1908 as the semi-pro Akron Indians, the team immediately took the city championship and stayed as consistently one of the best teams in the area. In 1912, “Peggy” Parratt was brought in to coach the team. George Watson “Peggy” Parratt was a three-time All-Ohio football player for Case Western University. While in college, he played professionally for the 1905 Shelby Blues under the name “Jimmy Murphy,” in order to preserve his amateur status. It only lasted a few weeks until local reporters discovered that it was Parratt on the field for the Blues.

    NewsDepth Season 49 Episode 15 [Girl] NewsDepth is a presentation of WVIZ, PBS, ideastream Education as made possible by a grant from the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation. [Rick] Coming up this week on NewsDepth. Would you let a seven-year old cut your hair? Plus, we meet an African-American artist as black history month begins. Cover those coughs and wash those hands, it's flu season. And Mary shares Ohio's sporty past, hut, hut. NewsDepth is now. The government is back up and running, at least for a while. Hello everybody, I'm Rick Jackson. Thanks for joining us. After 35 days, the partial Federal Government shutdown has come to a close. That's certainly a welcome relief for the government employees who've been working without pay, and people who had business with government agencies. Congress and President Donald Trump came to a financial agreement to reopen the Federal Government on Friday, January 25th. The agreement is only temporary though, it will keep the government up and running for three weeks. [President Trump] I will sign a bill to open our government for three weeks until February 15th. I will make sure that all employees receive their back pay very quickly or as soon as possible. [Rick] The hope is that during that time a longer agreement on government funding can be made. Reporter John Lornic has the story. [John] 2019 started off rough for about 800,000 government workers. - You know we went a month without any sort of income or any sort of knowing what's gonna happen next.
