Listen "Ep 20 | What happened to the 2001 season of APBA Football?"

Episode Synopsis

On Sept. 10, 2001, I was on what turned out to be a very brief first visit to Montreal. Many of us certainly remember watching the Giants and Broncos Monday Night Football game, in which Ed McCaffrey suffered a season-ending broken leg in the third quarter after catching six passes for 94 yards and a touchdown. At the time, APBA was still in a period of financial uncertainty, reflected in numerous articles in the APBA Journal. We look back to that time and the season sets from that difficult 2000-2002 period — including the "mystery" of the 2001 season set.
UPDATE: The official APBA Football 2001 season set is now available, hitting the APBA shop only five days after I posted this:
