About this listen

It is the dawn of a new decade in the National Football League as the league enters 1960 with infighting over expansion, the burgeoning fight with the American Football League, and needs a commissioner to handle those issues and more.


With the top candidates being a lawyer and a former FBI agent, things get interesting as we embed ourselves inside the Kenilworth Hotel over the course of a week in January 1960 through the eyes and words of Miami Herald reporters, most notably Edwin Pope, one of the first godfathers of Miami Sports journalism.
