It's time we covered one of the absolute cornerstones of "Canadian sports," and for that, we have to begin with the logical starting point: England in the 14th century! It's going to be a long series.

In Part 1, we investigate: whether you can be killed by a tennis ball, whether knives or "murther" have any place in sports, and if it's possible to be pranked so hard by "wags" that you have to leave town forever. A heads-up that this episode contains "develishe pastimes" full of "rancour and malice," and unfortunately, it "all ends with the ape on horseback."

Please note that there is a version of this episode with slides, if you prefer. You can watch the video on YouTube here.
