Episode notes

Lamar Hunt was in secret negotiations with Texan Roselle for a merger. Al Davis ordered the AFL teams to go out and sign all of the quarterbacks in the NFL. This is an economically negative move, which is why he didn't want to do it. The Rams were already making the maximum amount you should be willing to pay them for what they're brandy or team or likely close to it. So within three days, the readers have signed away veteran star quarterback Roman Gabriel.

The NFL — it’s almost synonymous with America today. And its history is a fascinating lens to explore the nation’s development over the last 100 years, from WWII to TV and suburbs to the Internet and social media. What began as a quasi-illicit league in small midwestern towns is now the single largest media property in the world today by revenue. And whether you watch football or not, this is one incredible business story. Acquired is ready for some football — let’s kick this Season off right!
