Everything you ever wanted to know but were afraid to ask about Fosters Freeze 

With under 100 locations left, Fosters Freeze does not seem to be a brand on the rise.

Here's An Obscure NFL Rule That Has Thankfully Evolved

The Bronko Nagurski Rule

Rule: Passes can be thrown from anywhere behind the line of scrimmage.
Source: In 1932, all passes were required to be thrown from at least 5 yardsbehind the line of scrimmage. In a playoff game, Nagurski faked a run into the line of scrimmage, took a step back and lobbed the ball to Red Grange as part of the Chicago Bears' 9-0 victory over the Portsmouth Spartans.
Reasoning: The Spartans complained that Nagurski was less than 5 yards behind the line, but no penalty was called. In the end, league officials loved the new dimension it provided. Football historians consider it the birth of the passing game as we know it.
