Hello, friend. Thanks as always for listening to The Tully Show. Today, we will be delving

into, I want to call it, a forgotten chapter of American sports history, but how many

people even knew in the first place there was for a pretty long period of time, a women's

professional football league. Learn all about it from the authors of the new book, Hail

Mary, in just a moment real quick. Let me let you know Patreon.com slash Mike Tully

now features high definition video on top of all the stuff I'm doing there, the news,

pods, the music, pods. Now I'm doing some shows in video. Is it a good thing or a bad thing

to watch me talking into a microphone while you hear me talking into a microphone? Only

one way to find out and that's to join the party over at patreon.com slash Mike Tully,

Okay, you ready to start this show?

You're supposed to eat me. It's really funny, dude. I forgot his last name, but I've

Two writers who have combined their efforts on a new book, which chronicles a forgotten

chapter in the history of American sports entitled Hail Mary, The Rise and Fall of the

National Women's Football League. Hello and welcome Brittany Delacretta and Lindsay

Dark Angelou. Thanks for having us. Brittany, you have a terrific last name. I pray. I

said it correctly. Close. Stella Crata.

Delacretta. Ah, terrific last names all around, by the way, very impressive.
