| Post subject: | Wally Triplett on Sports & Torts |
Time for another edition of “Sports & Torts”. The guest on the highly acclaimed interview program (well, it is held in such high regard in the Spada and Harris households as well as reportedly elsewhere) is Wally Triplett, the first African-American to be a football starter at Penn State. He also was the first African-American to play in the Cotton Bowl. His protrait hangs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, because he is the first drafted African-American to play in the NFL. There were other players drafted ahead of him, and they were undrafted players who had played in the NFL before him, but Triplett does hold a unique distinction. And he does hold a historic spot in the histories of Penn State and the NFL. Podcast at http://www.talkzone.com/episodes/155/SAT090614.html |
