Die Rock Island Independents waren eine American-Football-Mannschaft, die in den Jahren 1920 bis 1925 in der National Football League (bis 1921: American Professional Football Association) spielte. Das Team aus Rock Island (Illinois) war eines der Gründungsteams der Liga. 1926 spielte es in der konkurrierenden American Football League und stellte 1927 den professionellen Spielbetrieb ein.
Geschichte
Zu Beginn des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts entstand wie auch an anderen Orten in Rock Island (Illinois) eine professionelle bzw. halbprofessionelle Footballmannschaft. Man spielte gegen Mannschaften aus dem Bereich der Tri Cities. Da hinter dem Team weder eine Sportclub, ein sonstiger Verein oder ein Unternehmen stand, bezeichnete sich die Mannschaft als „Independents“ (Unabhängige). Die Spieler kamen aus der näheren und weiteren Umgebung von Rock Island. Erstmals treten sie 1907 in Erscheinung. Das Team gewann zwei von sechs Spielen mit einer Punktedifferenz von 82:12, als Teammanager agierte Tom Kennedy. Im folgenden Jahr gewann das Team vier Spiele, verlor jedoch 1909 alle drei durchgeführten Spiele. 1910 konnten alle Spiele gewonnen werden. 1911 werden keine Spiele erwähnt. 1912 wurde unter der Leitung von Trainer Dick Liitt und Manager Joseph Smith das Team neu organisiert. Fortan galten die Independents als eines der stärksten Teams im Mittleren Westen.
1912 begann Walter Flanigan für das Team als End zu spielen. Bald wurde er auch in der Mannschaftsleitung aktiv und wurde Assistent von Joseph Smith. 1915 übernahm er das Management des Teams. Nach dem Ende der Saison wollte er diese Tätigkeit zunächst abgeben, setzte dann aber schließlich die Tätigkeit weitere Jahre fort.
Nach dem Ende der AFL wurde den Rock Island Independents die Rückkehr in die NFL verwehrt. Es organisierte sich unter dem Namen der Independents eine Amateurmannschaft, die 1927 und 1928 Spiele austrug.

=== Vor der NFL ===
Die Rock Island Independents wurden im Jahr 1907 als ligaunabhängige Mannschaft in Rock Island, Illinois gegründet. Da sich kein Sponsor fand, wurde der Mannschaftsname "Independents" gewählt. Die Spieler kamen aus dem Umland von Rock Island. Die Mannschaft spielte in unregelmäßigen Abständen und gewann in den ersten fünf Jahren 19 von 26 Spielen. Im Jahr 1912 stieß der Polizeibeamte Walter Flanigan zur Mannschaft und lief für das Team als End und Defensive End auf. Flanigan erwarb das Team im Jahr 1915 und fungierte ab diesem Jahr auch als Trainer der Mannschaft. 1919 gewannen die Indenpendents unter Trainer Rube Ursella neun von elf Spielen, wobei sie eine Niederlage gegen die Hammond Pros hinnehmen mussten. Flanigan bot den Canton Bulldogs, dem amtierenden Meister der "Ohio League" 5.000 US-Dollar Antrittsprämie für ein Entscheidungsspiel um die US-amerikanische Meisterschaft an. Die Bulldogs um ihren Topspieler und Trainer Jim Thorpe lehnten das Angebot der Mannschaft aus Rock Island ab. Sie hatten ihre Saison bereits beendet und die Spieler standen nicht mehr zur Verfügung. Allerdings ging Thorpe auch davon aus, dass Flanigan die Antrittsprämie nicht würde bezahlen können. Die Independents hatte in ihrem letzten Spiel gegen die Akron Indians nur 1.700 Zuschauer, was nach Auffassung von Thorpe die Unkosten nicht gedeckt hätte. Allerdings besuchten zwei Spieltage zuvor 8.000 Zuschauer ein Spiel der Independents gegen die Columbus Panhandles. Die Absage von Thorpe stand daher in einem fragwürdigen Licht. Die Independents erklärten sich selbst zum US-amerikanischen Footballmeister.

=== Spielzeit in der NFL ===
Im Jahr 1920 wurde in Canton die "American Professional Football Association" (APFA) gegründet. Die APFA wurde zwei Jahre später in National Football League (NFL) umbenannt. Flanigan war Teilnehmer der Gründungssitzung und sein Team wurde in die Liga aufgenommen.
Rock Island spielte am 3. Oktober 1920 gegen die Muncie Flyers und gewannen deutlich mit 45:0. Ob dieses Spiel oder das am gleichen Tage ausgetragene Spiel der Dayton Triangles gegen die Columbus Panhandles das erste jemals gespielte APFA/NFL-Spiel ist, ist strittig. Die Mannschaft trug in diesem Jahr noch insgesamt sechs weitere Spiele in der APFA aus, spielte aber auch noch dreimal gegen Mannschaften, die nicht der Liga angehörten. Letztendlich belegte die Mannschaft in diesem Spieljahr den fünften Tabellenplatz.[1]
Nach der Saison 1922 verkaufte Flanigan die Mannschaft und zog sich aus dem Footballsport zurück. Bis 1925 blieb die Mannschaft in der NFL. Ein Titelgewinn gelang dem Team nicht. 1926 wechselten die Independents in die von Red Grange ins Leben gerufene American Football League. Die Liga stellte nach einem Jahr den Spielbetrieb ein. Die Independents existierten noch ein weiteres Jahr als halbprofessionelles Team in einer unterklassigen Liga und mussten danach den Spielbetrieb ebenfalls einstellen.

Vorlage:Short description Vorlage:Use mdy dates Vorlage:Infobox Pre-modern NFL team The Rock Island Independents were a professional American football team, based in Rock Island, Illinois, from 1907 to 1926. The Independents were a founding National Football League franchise. They hosted what has been retrospectively designated the first National Football League game on September 26, 1920, at Douglas Park. The Independents were founded in 1907 by Demetrius Clements as an independent football club. Hence, the team was named the "Independents."
In 1926, the Independents left the NFL to become a charter member of the first American Football League, the only NFL team to do so. The Independents then folded along with the entire league in 1927.[2][3][4]
Pro Football Hall of Fame alumni Jimmy Conzelman (1920–1921), Joe Guyon (1924), Ed Healey (1920–1922), Duke Slater (1922–1926), and Jim Thorpe (1924–1925) played for the Independents.
==History==
===Early history===
One of the first professional football teams, the Independents were founded in Rock Island, Illinois, in 1907 by Demetrius Clements as an independent football club. The independent team had no athletic club affiliation, no social club ties and no corporate company backing or sponsorship. As a result, the team was named the "Independents."
The Independents played in Douglas Park (1907–1925) and Browning Field (1926). The 1910 team went undefeated and were not scored on in five games. A year of hiatus seems to have followed.
The team reorganized in 1912, seeking to compete with the neighboring community of Moline on the gridiron.[5] Many of the players from the 1910 team reunited in that year and, under Coach John Roche, the team won eight games without giving up a score.
Walter Flanigan was the owner of the Independents 1915 to 1923. Dale Johnson then owned the team from 1924 until it folded, along with the rest of the American Football League in 1926.[6]
Walter Flanigan had joined the Independents as a backup end in 1912. For the following two seasons, he served as the team's assistant manager, under then-manager Jack Roche.[7] In 1915, Flanigan became the owner of the team and later promoted the Independents by scheduling two home games in 1917 against the Minneapolis Marines. This contest helped the Independents gain legitimacy. Rock Island lost to the Marines by a score of 7–3 in front of over 6,400 fans at Douglas Park in the first game on November 4. The two teams played again on November 18 and Rock Island lost again, 33–7, in the second game in front of 4,500 fans.[8][9] However, World War I and the military draft put a temporary halt to Flanigan's plans of expanding the team into new markets.[10]

In 1919, Flanigan hired Rube Ursella of the Minneapolis Marines to serve as a player-coach. Ursella brought several other Minneapolis players with him. These new players would help improve play and help secure the team an invitation to join the NFL. The Independents lost only to the Hammond Pros, led by George Halas in 1919. Flanigan then challenged the Canton Bulldogs to a "championship" game, offering a $5,000 guarantee if they would come to Rock Island for the game.
But Canton, which had already won the "Ohio League" championship by defeating the Massillon Tigers, turned down the offer. It is likely that Canton's player/coach Jim Thorpe and owner Ralph Hay felt that Flanigan could not deliver on his $5,000 guarantee. However, the Independents still had defeated the Columbus Panhandles 49–0 and the Indians 17–0 that season. In 1919, the season prior to the establishment of the National Football League, they claimed to be "Champions of the USA". The invitation to Canton led to the Independents being invited to the September 17, 1920 historic meeting on the formation of the National Football League.[10]
===National Football League===
The National Football League was formed over the course of two meetings in 1920. On August 20, 1920, an initial meeting was held by representatives of the Akron Pros, Canton Bulldogs, Cleveland Tigers, and Dayton Triangles. The meeting was held at the Jordan and Hupmobile auto showroom in Canton, Ohio and resulted in the formation of the American Professional Football Conference (APFC).[11][12]
A second and considerably larger meeting was held on September 17, 1920. The meeting was again at Canton owner Ralph Hay's Hupmobile dealership in Canton and Independents owner Walter Flanigan was present to represent the Independents. Representatives of eleven teams were present at the second meeting: the four teams from the first meeting, plus the Decatur Staleys, Chicago Cardinals, Massillon Tigers, Hammond Pros, Muncie Flyers, Rock Island Independents and Rochester Jeffersons. The minutes of this meeting are in Pro Football Hall of Fame archives.[13] The league was renamed to the American Professional Football Association (APFA), and the number of teams was expanded, with league play to begin in 1920.[11]
The newly formed league elected Jim Thorpe as its first President and consisted of 14 teams. The Buffalo All-Americans, Chicago Tigers, Columbus Panhandles, and Detroit Heralds joined the league during the year. The Massillon Tigers from Massillon, Ohio was also at the September 17 meeting, but did not field a team in 1920. After the formation of the league, Flanigan was named to the committee that created the league's constitution. Today, only two of these franchises, the Decatur Staleys (now the Chicago Bears) and the Chicago Cardinals (now the Arizona Cardinals), remain as NFL franchises.[14][15]
On September 26, 1920, the Independents hosted the first official game featuring a team from the APFA.[16] Thus, the Independents' Douglas Park became the site of the first ever National Football League contest. Just nine days after the league had formed, on September 26, 1920, the Independents defeated the St. Paul Ideals 48–0 in the first contest involving a member team of the APFA.[3][12]
A week later, on October 3, 1920, the Independents defeated the Muncie Flyers 45–0 at Douglas Park in the first full week of APFA league play.[17][18] 3,100 fans were in attendance as Arnie Wyman, former Minnesota great, made his debut for the Islanders, scoring three touchdowns. This might have been the first NFL game ever played between two NFL teams, however, NFL historical records don't indicate the kickoff time for this game or the other APFA game played that day between the Dayton Triangles and the Columbus Panhandles in Dayton, Ohio. [19]
The Independents posted 4–2–1 records in the league's first year. They had the same record the next two seasons, with five of their six losses in three years coming to George Halas and the Decatur Staleys/Chicago Staleys/Chicago Bears.[20] On June 24, 1922, the APFA changed its name to the National Football League (NFL).[21][22]
On October 16, 1921, the Independents battled back from a 7–0 deficit against the Chicago Cardinals to lead 14–7 in the second quarter. The comeback was sparked by two touchdowns, scored by player-coach Frank Coughlin. Flanigan then ordered the team's tackle, Ed Healey relieve Coughlin. Once Coughlin was safely on his way toward the sideline, Healey delivered a message to Jimmy Conzelman from Flanigan, it read: "Coughlin was fired! The new coach was Conzelman!" This act marked the first and only time an owner hired a new coach in the middle of a game. In 1922, Flanigan sold the contract of Ed Healey, to Halas and the Chicago Bears for $100.[23] However, Healey soon became a star for the Bears and would later be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1964. In 1923, Flanigan left the Independents to concentrate on his real estate and insurance businesses.[10]
In 1923, Flanigan sold the Independents to Dale Johnson, a local businessman. Johnson hired Vince McCarthy, the Independents' back-up quarterback as the new general manager. With Rock Island High School alumni and Olympian Sol Butler joining the squad, Rock Island went 2–3–3 in 1923, and rebounded to post winning seasons in 1924 and 1925.
Jim Thorpe, considered "the World's Greatest Athlete", joined the Independents in 1924 and the team went 5–2–2 in league play.[10] After the 1925 season, Thorpe formed a team composed primarily of his teammates from the Rock Island Independents, that would play several games throughout Florida. In a 1926 New Year's Day football exhibition, Thorpe's "Tampa Cardinals" played against the Chicago Bears led by Red Grange. The game itself was billed as a clash of old vs. new, with Grange, the rising star, taking on Thorpe, the aging legend. During the game Grange rushed for a 70-yard touchdown as the Bears notched a 17–3 victory at Plant Field in Tampa, Florida.[24][25]
The Independents' overall NFL record was 26–14–9, with five winning seasons in six years. After finishing fourth in 1920, their best overall finish in the National Football League standings was fifth, which they accomplished three times: in 1921 and 1922 under Jimmy Conzelman, and in 1924 under Johnny Armstrong.[10]
===American Football League===
Vorlage:Location map+ In 1926, football star Red Grange and his agent, C. C. Pyle, formed the American Football League (AFL) after Pyle was denied ownership of an NFL franchise in New York City. In what proved to be a fatal move, after the 1925 season Johnson moved the team to the American Football League. Johnson felt that the American Football League, which featured Red Grange, would out-perform the NFL. The Independents then signed Elmer Layden, one of the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame for 1926. Founding American Football League teams for 1926 were the Boston Bulldogs, Brooklyn Horsemen, Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Panthers, Los Angeles Wildcats, Newark Bears, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Quakers and the Rock Island Independents. Rock Island left the NFL to join the new league. The Independents also moved from Douglas Park in Rock Island to Browning Field in neighboring Moline, Illinois for the 1926 season. The Independents were the only NFL team to make the jump to the rival league.
The AFL did not pay as much as the NFL did a year prior and Independents players left the team for bigger salaries with other NFL teams. As a result, the Independents ended their season with a 2–6–1 record. Coached by Johnny Armstrong, the Independents played their first three games at Browning Field and then played the rest of their 1926 games as a traveling team. The AFL folded after the season and the Independents were rejected in their attempt to rejoin the NFL. They played as a semi-pro team in 1927, and then went out of business.[10]
==Stadium==
From their inception until their last season, the Independents played at Douglas Park in Rock Island, Illinois, from 1907 to 1925. In 1926, in what became their final year of existence, the Independents moved to Browning Field in neighboring Moline, Illinois. Both locations are still in use today.[26]
Douglas Park is located at the corner of 18th Avenue and 9th Street in Rock Island, Illinois. Douglas Park was also the home of the minor league baseball Rock Island Islanders during the Independents era. Today, the site has baseball field and a playground. The Quad City 76ers Semi Pro Baseball Club has called Douglas Park home since 1986. Rock Island Post 200 also plays some home games at Douglas Park. Douglas Park also hosts annual "rivalry" games. The Rockton Showdown features the baseball teams from Alleman and Rock Island High Schools. The Battle for the Douglas Cup features Rock Island and Moline High Schools. And, the Veterans Cup Classic features the American Legion teams from Rock Island and Moline. Douglas Park hosts an annual tribute football game to the Independents, played in retro uniforms and using early football rules.[26][27][28]
Browning Field, the Independents' home in 1926, is located at 16th Street and 23rd Avenue in Moline, Illinois. The Independents shared the stadium with the minor league baseball Moline Plowboys. Today, Browning Field is home to Moline High School sports teams and the adjacent Wharton Field House is the former home of the National Basketball Association's Tri-Cities Blackhawks, today's Atlanta Hawks.[29][30]

Geschichte
Adrian Franke (geboren 1989) war von 2013 bis Februar 2023 bei SPOX tätig. Ab Herbst 2015 war er dort vor allem für die NFL zuständig. Durch diese Tätigkeit erschienen 2018 sein Buch „American Football: Alles, was man wissen muss“ und 2019 „American Football: Die größten Legenden: Porträts, Geschichten und Skandale in der NFL“ Christoph Kröger (geboren 1990) ist nach Abschluss des Studiums 2018 ebenfalls im Sportjournalismus tätig.
Im Vorfeld des NFL Draft 2018 begannen die beiden mit der Produktion eines wöchentlich erscheinenden Podcasts zur NFL. Die erste Folge erschien am 18. April 2018. Die technische Produktion obliegt dabei hauptsächlich Christoph Kröger.
Die Inhalte des in der Regel am Donnerstag erscheinenden Podcasts folgen dabei dem Saisongeschehen in der NFL. Während der Spielzeit erfolgt eine ausführliche Berichterstattung zu den anstehenden Spielen und den jeweiligen Match-Ups. In der spielfreien Zeit wird die Free-Agency und der NFL-Draft journalistisch begleitet. Im Vorfeld der neuen Saison werden alle Teams ausführlich besprochen.
Seit 23. August 2019 ist der Podcast der offizielle NFL-Podcast von DAZN und SPOX. 2021 wurde der Podcast in der Kategorie Beste Sportberichterstattung Audio für den Deutschen Sportjournalistenpreis nominiert.
Seit dem 31. Januar 2021 erscheint zusätzlich das Format „Down, Set, Short“ in dem aktuelle Geschehen aufgegriffen und in ca. 30 Minuten besprochen werden und seit dem 21. November 2022 „Montalk“ in dem die wichtigsten Themen des vergangenen Spieltages besprochen werden. Am 26. April 2023 wurde bekanntgegeben, dass der Podcast nunmehr vertraglich mit RTL verbunden ist. Die RTL-Sendergruppe hat ab Saison 2023 die Übertragungsrechte an der NFL erworben.
Am 30. Mai 2023 startete das monatliche Format „Down, Set, Classics“ bei dem ein historisches Ereignis aus der NFL im heutigen Kontext betrachtet wird. Dieses Format ist exklusiv auf RTL+ verfügbar. Ab 23. April 2024 wurde dieses Format durch eine monatliche Frage-Antwort-Format abgelöst.
Am 10. Juli 2023 startete das Format „Down, Set, Ranked“ in dem wöchentlich in der Off-Season das Ranking der Spieler einer Position durchgeführt wird.
Daneben wurde gelegentlich ein You-Tube-Livestream angeboten. Über die Patreon-Plattform erhalten Nutzer gegen eine Bezahlung zusätzliche Inhalte.

NFL-Fragmente
Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde der American Football auch außerhalb der Colleges immer populärer in vielen Städten des Mittleren Westens bildeten sich professionelle oder semiprofessionelle Mannschaften. Diese wurden teilweise auch durch örtliche Unternehmen finanziert. Die ersten Zentren lagen in Ohio und im Westen von Pennsylvania und New York. Anfang der 1900er Jahre bildeten sich in diesen Staaten Ligen um einen Meister zu ermitteln. Das Regelwerk basierte auf informellen Absprachen unter den beteiligten Teams. Am 20. August 1920 und am 17. September 1920 trafen sich Vertreter von Teams aus Ohio, Indiana, Illinois und New York um für die kommende Saison einen gemeinsamen Spielplan zu vereinbaren. Zum Präsidenten wurde der prominente Sportler Jim Thorpe bestimmt. Nach der ersten Saison zeigte sich, dass die geplante Zusammenarbeit nicht im gewünschten Maße realisiert wurde und die meisten offenen Punkte (.....) nicht gelöst worden waren. Deshalb kam es 1921 zu einer Neuorganisation. Der Manager der Columbus Panhandles Joseph P. Carr übernahm die Leitung der Liga. Sein Stellvertreter wurde Carl Storck von den Dayton Triangles. Unter Führung dieser beiden wurde der Liga eine feste Struktur gegeben.
Bereits ab Mitte der 1970er Jahre begann die NFL darüber nachzudenken, wie man die Liga bzw. den Sport international vermarkten konnte. Ein erster Versuch war die World League of American Football
