Sports Consiglieres | Episode 34 | Welcome Author David Lyons

Welcome back to a very special weekend episode of "The Sports Consiglieres" with Jimmy & Jerry! Continuing our New York Giants theme to the show as of late, we are joined by Author David Lyons. Lyons is responsible for the incredible coverage of Emlen Tunnell.

"The Charismatic Life of a WWII Hero and NFL Legend slated to drop in April of this year!! "Emlen “Em” Tunnell was an inspirational and adventurous figure who became a war hero and a professional football player—helping improve race relations in America in the process.

Emlen was a “Jackie Robinson-type leader” in the NFL, one of the first black players to be confronted with, and overcome, the indignity and injustice of racism in our country, on a national stage. Emlen was also the most successful black football star of his era, the first African American to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame." (Taken from David Lyons Website)
