Beginning in 1967, the National Women's Football League spread to nineteen cities in the U.S and lasted for over two decades. But many have never heard the stories of teams like the Toledo Troopers and the LA Dandelions. Britni de la Cretaz and Lydnsey D'Arcangelo, authors of a new book, Hail Mary: The Rise and Fall of the National Women's Football League, tell the story of the league, featuring first-person stories from players, coaches, and owners.  This segment was guest-hosted by Kerry Nolan.
