0:00.0 | E1 presents the silly guys in Football Frenzy or the quarterback caper. |
0:12.8 | Football has changed dramatically throughout the years. |
0:17.7 | First, the archaic T formation morphed into the wishbone offense. Then, the |
0:21.9 | wishbone offense morphed into a new type of lowercase T formation, where the quarterback stands in |
0:26.5 | front of his offensive line. Then, other innovations occurred. People realized that you could throw |
0:31.9 | the football forward. Sure, it was written into the rules from the beginning that you could do that, |
0:36.7 | but no one had ever read the rules before, so it still counts as an innovation even if it sounds |

1:18.4 | However, throughout this innovation, only one thing remain constant. There's always just one. |
1:24.8 | Only one quarterback on the field at once, like a legendary creature in Magic the |
1:29.0 | Gathering. But three young, well, not so young, pioneers of the sport made a discovery that would |
1:36.0 | alter the shape of the gridiron for generations to come. This is the story of the three kings. |
1:42.1 | But before they were kings, they were three middle-aged men. |
1:46.2 | Still pretty young, though, for middle-aged guys. Basically, the youngest that middle-aged guys can get. |
