Peyton retraces the NFL's transformation from small-town teams to a league that represents America's big cities. Through tailgating at the Astrodome with Dan Pastorini, Mike Renfro and Elvin Bethea, and meeting Thunder, the Broncos' team horse, Peyton learns how stadiums and mascots helped shape each NFL team's identity. 

Every Sunday, millions tune in to watch the NFL from the comfort of their own home or the bar down the street. Peyton visits with Anthony Gonzalez, Joe Namath and Ben Stein to learn it took President John F. Kennedy's signature, a movie about an 8-year-old orphan who is sent to the Swiss Alps to live with her grandfather, and President Richard Nixon's political muscle to bring NFL games to your living room.
