Washington-based author and pro football historian Mike Richman joins the WTOP Sports team to discuss his book, George Allen: A Football Life, sharing tales of the Hall of Fame coach’s fascinating journey from Chicago to Los Angeles to Washington. Richman delves into how Allen fought his mentor to become head coach of the Rams, how he led the Burgundy and Gold to its first Super Bowl trip in 1972 and how much his tenure set the stage for the wildly successful first Joe Gibbs era.
Also inside the D.C. Sports Huddle: Is present-day Washington QB Sam Howell the real deal? Richman discusses with us.
