NEW MOVIE HELPS TELL THE TALE OF WHY NO GAME IS BETTER THAN FOOTBALL | MICHELE TAFOYA

The film, “Triangle Park,” is named for the location of that first game.

I asked if I could narrate the film, and he said, “Yes.”

We collaborated to recruit all kinds of football star-power for the film: Cris Collinsworth. Joe Buck. Troy Aikman. Tony Dungy. Suzy Kolber. Larry Fitzgerald. Ben Roethlisberger. Eric Dickerson. Sean McVay. Cooper Kupp. Terry McAuley. Joe Theismann.

But the film is not about us. It’s about a single football game played in 1920 — the same year women in America secured the right to vote.

The film is about history. It’s about the birth of an institution.

There is only one first. And we all helped tell the tale… for the love of the game.

First NFL Game Brought to Life in New Film ‘Triangle Park’

The National Football League produces some of the most-watched telecasts in the US every year, and yet the precise origins of the sport remain a mystery to most. Filmmaker Allen Farst wanted to change all that. In his new movie, Triangle Park, Farst documents the first-ever NFL game: a 1920 matchup between the Dayton Triangles and the Columbus Panhandles. The film — one part documentary, one part live-action drama — centers on the sport’s inaugural game played out in Triangle Park in Dayton, Ohio.
