A "maybe" interesting tidbit here.
The "practice squad" used to be called the "taxi squad". I remember that term still being used back in the 70s.
As I understand it, the term came from George Halas circumventing roster limitation rules by hiring a bunch of players as reserves and putting them on the Chicago Bears' payroll as "taxi drivers".
