    Bill Mass Bill Maas Joined Block & Company in July 2010. Prior To

    Bill Mass Bill Maas joined Block & Company in July 2010. Prior to starting a career in real estate he was an All-Pro Defensive Lineman for the Kansas City Chiefs for 10 seasons. Maas played both defensive and tackle during his career. Recognized for his relentless pass rushing ability, the two-time Pro Bowl selection joined the Chiefs as the team's number one pick in 1984 and made an immediate impact. Maas started 14 games, registered five sacks, and earned the associated press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award. Maas enjoyed his finest season in 1988 when he ranked third or higher in every defensive category and earned his first trip to the Pro Bowl. He also played a major role on the Chiefs record-breaking special teams unit by blocking two field goals, one of which was returned for a touchdown to bolster the Kansas City Playoff Drive. In 1987, Maas once again represented the AFC as the starting nose tackle in the Pro Bowl after a season in which he finished second on the team with six sacks and scored his first NFL touchdown after recovering a fumble. Bill spent twelve seasons broadcasting the NFL through Fox Sports, where he enjoyed many opportunities including relocating to Frankfurt, Germany, and hosting camps for kids of all ages to help increase the sport's popularity, and aided efforts to globalize the NFL product. In the United States, Bill broadcasted NFL games each Sunday, and covered five Super Bowls, two of which were reported from the sidelines for John Madden.

    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Team History The Eagles have been a Philadelphia institution since their beginning in 1933 when a syndicate headed by the late Bert Bell and Lud Wray purchased the former Frankford Yellowjackets franchise for $2,500. In 1941, a unique swap took place between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh that saw the clubs trade home cities with Alexis Thompson becoming the Eagles owner. In 1943, the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh franchises combined for one season due to the manpower shortage created by World War II. The team was called both Phil-Pitt and the Steagles. Greasy Neale of the Eagles and Walt Kiesling of the Steelers were co-coaches and the team finished 5-4-1. Counting the 1943 season, Neale coached the Eagles for 10 seasons and he led them to their first significant successes in the NFL. Paced by such future Pro Football Hall of Fame members as running back Steve Van Buren, center-linebacker Alex Wojciechowicz, end Pete Pihos and beginning in 1949, center-linebacker Chuck Bednarik, the Eagles dominated the league for six seasons. They finished second in the NFL Eastern division in 1944, 1945 and 1946, won the division title in 1947 and then scored successive shutout victories in the 1948 and 1949 championship games. A rash of injuries ended Philadelphia’s era of domination and, by 1958, the Eagles had fallen to last place in their division. That year, however, saw the start of a rebuilding program by a new coach, Buck Shaw, and the addition of quarterback Norm Van Brocklin in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams.
