Another snippet of a lengthy interview with Chris Willis of NFL Films and the Pro Football HOF.

This one picks up after the 1925 season where Grange and his manager CC Pyle start up their own rival league and contest the Giants for football supremacy in New York.

I'm working on an extensive article on the 1926 Giants and the AFL-NFL war with Grange and Pyle. It's going to take a few months (the research is a bear) but I'm hoping to have it ready in time for training camp.
