Old Team Tuesday: The Tonawanda Kardex

Old Team Tuesday will be a weekly feature taking a look at former teams that have gone by the wayside. The first edition of this segment takes a look at one of the quirkiest stories in Western New York football history.
**********************************************
For most Buffalo football fans, 1921 is next to meaningless. The few and far between who can rattle off facts about the Staley Swindle will know that was the season that George Halas stole the league title from the Buffalo All-Americans, the pre-eminent professional gridiron team in Western New York.

Apparently I'm oblivious when it comes to all news milk. Yesterday, I came across an article by Food & Wine way back in June. Fox picked it up, as did the New York Post, and added to the content. These articles contain some absolute fireballs. Just to mention a few:

"A full 7 percent of American adults think chocolate milk comes from brown cows.""48 percent of US adults aren't sure where chocolate milk comes from.""29 percent use their kids as cover to buy it for themselves."As the wise prophet Kevin Malone once said:

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH. PEOPLE! COME ON!
It's one thing to be a kid and think chocolate milk comes from brown cows. Kids aren't always clued in, and
