This episode we fire up the DeLorean and head back to explore the life and career of Bronko Nagurski, the original Monster of the Midway. Bronko was one of the most feared runners and defenders of the early Chicago Bears.

He was famously known for one of the greatest comebacks in sports history, returning to the game after a 6 year hiatus. He was also a world champion professional wrestler. So strap on your seat belt, and let’s get ready to take this baby up to 88mph.

THE FOOTBALL HISTORY DUDE BACKGROUND

The Football History Dude is a show dedicated to teaching NFL fans about the rich history of the game we all know and love. I’m your host, Arnie Chapman, and I’m just a regular dude that loves football and is a nerd when it comes to learning about history.

I created this show to share the gridiron knowledge nuggets I gain from researching various topics about the history of the National Football League. Each episode I welcome you to climb aboard my DeLorean to travel back in time to explore the yesteryear of the gridiron, and yes, that’s a reference to the Back to the Future Movies.
