A Big Mess in Texas: The Miraculous, Disastrous 1952 Dallas Texans and the Craziest Untold Story in NFL History by David Fleming https://www.amazon.com/Big-Mess-Texas-Miraculous-Disastrous/dp/1250374308 Flemfile.com The incredible, untold true story of the 1952 Dallas Texans―the most dysfunctional team in the craziest season in NFL history. Rattlesnakes on the practice field, barroom brawls between teammates, bounced checks, paternity suits, house bombings by the Ku Klux Klan, stadium fields covered in circus-elephant dung, one-legged trainers, humiliating defeats, miraculous wins, All-Pro quarterbacks getting drunk at halftime, strip poker with groupies, and even a future Hall of Fame coach stealing a cab. Nearly lost to history, this singular season in the most football-mad region of the world is a kaleidoscope of every larger-than-life, fictionalized Texas football folktale ever written or filmed, with one incredible twist: it’s all true. Over a fascinating, ten-month rollercoaster ride in 1952, in the waning Wild West days of the NFL, before television turned the game into a corporation, the forgotten Dallas Texans would go down in history as one of the worst (and, wildest) teams of all time and the last NFL team to fail. But not before defying the Jim Crow South, pulling off a Thanksgiving Day miracle against George Halas's famed Chicago Bears and then celebrating with an even more infamous bender that would make Jimmy Johnson's Dallas Cowboys blush. A year later, the NFL buried all traces of the most loveable, dysfunctional, entertaining team in history by secretly rebranding the train wreck Texans as the wholesome, all-American Baltimore Colts, the team that would go on to save pro football. A Big Mess in Texas tells the Texans' tale with all the humor, drama, game action, colorful characters, villains, world-class athletes, civil rights trailblazers, and incredible plot twists of that legendary season.

Recorded: December 15th 2025 On this episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan sit down with Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins, a.k.a. “The Shnowman,” for a raw, funny, and football-heavy conversation straight from the trenches. Taylor Lewan kicks things off by addressing the Sherrone Moore situation at Michigan, while Will Compton gives his thoughts on the video of Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia partying with a “F*** Indiana” sign after losing the Heisman Trophy. The boys then break down their thoughts on Fernando Mendoza and wrap up the intro with some Spicy Tier Talk. Dion then joins and starts off hot with the story behind the creation of The Shnowman. He explains what makes the Bills one of the most dominant teams in the NFL, his ongoing battles with PFF and sack statistics, and what it takes to hold it down in the trenches. Dion also breaks down Josh Allen’s gameday antics, leadership style, and how No. 17 flips the switch when the lights come on. The boys dive into life in the trenches, elite pass rushers, and what it’s really like lining up across from Myles Garrett as he chases sack records. From locker room stories and AFC battles to mindset, preparation, and playing with swagger, Dion keeps it real the entire time. As always, expect laughs, honesty, and unfiltered NFL talk from start to finish.

Before the dynasties, before the banners, before Brady, before Belichick, even before Bledsoe, there was the 1985 New England Patriots. A team built on grit, not glamour.History often remembers the champions, yet the 1985 New England Patriots didn't win a championship. Yet in this case, they are remembered for the journey, a journey that was one of the most memorable in NFL History. In this episode of the Historically Speaking Sports Podcast, the place where we give you sports from back in the day, Co hosts Charles Combs and Dana Auguster will bring you back to the mid 1980s. In this edition will will talk about Patriots' first AFC Championship team that posted three, count them, three postseason upsets that included ending a losing streak that dated back to the Lyndon Johnson administration. This was a team that was devoid of big names and huge stars. But was comprised of several solid individuals that was the personification of blue collar teamwork. Leading this group was a head coach who had made his own way into Canton as a Hall of Fame receiver, but his quiet understated style was the trademark of this great team. Later in the show we will send a shout out to a former Patriot great, whose clutch performance that season made him a New England legend plus a discussion on who was actually the worse Super Bowl participant.

The guys talked about the Rockies and whether or not they would win 42 or more games. Plus, top quarterbacks in NFL history!

Nicholas "Harry" Callas reacts to a floating opinion that the Steelers' decision to trade WR George Pickens this past offseason may be the worst trade in NFL history.

Rattlesnakes on the practice field, fist fights on the team plane, bounced checks, paternity suits, house bombings by the Ku Klux Klan, stadium fields covered in circus elephant dung, one-legged trainers, humiliating defeats, miraculous wins, All-Pro quarterbacks getting drunk at halftime, sex in a phone booth, and even a future Hall of Fame coach stealing a taxi cab. Sounds like the craziest football fiction movie that Hollywood could come up with. Well, it was all true. The 1952 Dallas Texans are nearly lost to history. This single season in the most football-mad region of the U.S., is a kaleidoscope of every larger-than-life Texas football folktale.

Another week, another one-score loss for the Arizona Cardinals in a 27-23 defeat to the Green Bay Packers.

Arizona is now the first team in NFL history to suffer three straight losses after leading by at least seven points in the fourth quarter.

Peabody Award-nominated writer and Episode 389 guest David Fleming (“Breaker Boys: The NFL's Greatest Team and the Stolen 1925 Championship”) returns to the show to unpack one of the National Football League's most chaotic and fascinating chapters: the disaster of the 1952 Dallas Texans. In his new book,"A Big Mess in Texas: The Miraculous, Disastrous 1952 Dallas Texans and the Craziest Untold Story in NFL History," Fleming chronicles the league's first attempt to plant a professional football franchise in football-crazed Texas — a venture so ill-fated that the NFL reportedly still disavows it. Fleming guides us through the Texans' brief and turbulent existence, from their origins as the financially struggling New York Yanks to their relocation to Dallas under the ambitious but ill-prepared Miller brothers. We explore a 1–11 season riddled with logistical nightmares and meet the team's unforgettable characters: future Hall of Famers Art Donovan and Gino Marchetti, unsung heroes like Buddy Young and George Taliaferro, and a broader cast of characters who fought to keep the team afloat despite unrelenting chaos. You'll hear about rattlesnakes on the practice field, barroom brawls, bounced checks, paternity suits, one-legged trainers, humiliating defeats, a miraculous victory, strip poker with groupies, and even a future Hall of Fame coach stealing a cab. Amidst the madness, Fleming spotlights the Texans' lone shining moment: a Thanksgiving Day "home game" upset over the Chicago Bears at the Rubber Bowl in Akron, Ohio — an improbable triumph that perfectly captured the team's fleeting flashes of brilliance against a constant tide of organizational mayhem.
