You mean the beginning of football history?

I used to hate the incessant "Player XXX is the first player in playoff history to do [enter obscure, silly accomplishment here]".

Now they have expanded this to be:

First player in modern football history to ...

First player in Super Bowl era to ...

First player since 19XX to ...

First player since NFL/AFL merger to ...

Half the time I don't believe it when they say its the first time something has ever happened as they seem to arbitrarily ignore or discount the early years of the NFL.

Thanks Dan! The Massillon RPPC is awesome. Love it. So many well known early professional players between the Massillon and Canton RPPCs from that year.
