They played for the Columbus Panhandles who played against the Dayton Triangles in the first official all-NFL game in Dayton Ohio in Oct. of 1920. That was back in the days when Jim Thorpe would come to my Mother's house for dinner. My younger brother and I were reminiscing about those stories we used to hear in our home as kids years ago. It's not like that now, my brother continued in the conversation. Not many people really want to know the value of the origins of football, or even the teams that were made up by family members, they are too busy enjoying the game. We wondered if those Nesser brothers would even recognize the evolution of American football that is enjoyed by millions of Americans today.
