  • The Year Greasy Neale Was Fired
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 10, No. 2 (1988) THE YEAR GREASY NEALE WAS FIRED By Gene Murdock [Originally published in Pro Football Digest, April- May, 1968, five years before Neale's death in 1973 and 17 years after his controversial ousting.] It was a tense moment in the Philadelphia Eagles' dressing room at the Polo Grounds on a raw Sunday afternoon in late November 1950. The National Football League champions had just dropped a heartbreaker to the New York Giants, 7-3. The club owner stood in the center of the room and pointed an accusing finger at his coach. "And you," he shouted, "you made mistakes out there; you made mistakes!" "Damn you," fired back the coach, "I never make mistakes. Or if I do you can't tell me in my clubhouse in front of my football players. If you want to tell me what mistakes I make on the football field, you tell me in your office on Monday morning!" Seated in his home in Parkersburg, W.Va. 17 years later, 76-year-old Earle "Greasy" Neale still has thunder in his voice as he talks of the shouting match that openly marked the beginning of the end of his long and colorful coaching career. "Imagine this now -- the president of a ball club standing in the middle of the dressing room after you'd been beaten 7-3, popping off in front of your players, telling me you can't win with three points. Anybody knew that. It didn't take a genius to tell you that!" The year 1950 had already been a trying one for Greasy, who had led the Eagles to NFL titles in 1948 and 1949, winning "Coach of the Year" honors both seasons.

  • Trigger-Man of the Eagles: Tommy Thompson
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 11, No. 5 (1989) 1 TRIGGER-MAN OF THE EAGLES By Bob Carroll Tommy Thompson, one of the National Football League's earliest and most successful T- formation quarterbacks, led the Philadelphia Eagles to championships in 1948-49. In those years, the Eagles were known for their crushing rushing attack featuring Steve Van Buren, but Thompson's leadership, intelligent play calling and deep passing were critical to the offense. Teammate Al Wistert, in GREAT ONES: NFL QUARTERBACKS FROM BAUGH TO MONTANA, explained: "I think the real key to those titles was Tommy Thompson. He wasn't just a leader or a passer, although he was outstanding as both. He was much more. He had those indefinable qualities that make a player a winner. And he could transfer those to the rest of the team. Without Tommy, we still would have been a team of stars. But I don't know if we would have been a great team -- a championship team." Surprisingly for a passer, Thompson had full sight in only one eye, the result of a boyhood stone-throwng accident. Yet, despite any loss of depth perception, he became one of the most accurate passers of his time. His strong arm enabled him to excell with a discus, shotput and javelin in high school. At the University of Tulsa he played singlewing tailback for undistinguished teams. No NFL team drafted him, but he signed as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Pirates (Steelers) in 1940. When Pittsburgh and Philadelphia traded franchises before the 1941 season, Thompson went to the Eagles.
