    100 years ago today the first forward pass was thrown. Nobody caught it.

    The first recorded legal forward pass in American football history marks its 100th anniversary Tuesday.

    It took years for Saint Louis University football coach Eddie Cochems to get credit for calling the first pass play for a football program that was disbanded more than 50 years ago.</div>

    No worries. Your thread title is better. I did throw in the dialogue between KO & DP just for laughs.
