Today's Tidbit... Favorite Tidbits of 2022

This was a big year for Football Archaeology since it did not exist until April, at least not under this name and format. Previously, I had a site called Fields of Friendly Strife, which I created to support my first book of the same name. However, as that site covered football history in general, I rebranded and reoriented my efforts.

Fields of Friendly Strife contained long-form articles that took five to ten minutes to read. That content style still appears on Football Archaeology -see the Articles tab on the home page- but football history includes lots of bite-sized nuggets that require only a minute to highlight, so Today's Tidbit became a thing.
