Big Mac of the Browns' Attack
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 4, No. 1 (1982) BIG MAC OF THE BROWNS' ATTACK By Bob Braunwart and Bob Carroll To some it might read like a fairy tale. Crippled in childhood by Perthes disease (a bone deficiency disease), Mac Speedie not only overcame what his doctors feared would be a lifelong handicap. He also went on to stardom as a professional athlete and, indeed, as one of the premier ends in pro football history. But it was not a fairy tale, because there was no magic in it. Medical science with its iron braces and Mac's own iron determination and constant exercise were responsible for the dramatic turnaround. But let Mac tell it: "I don't suppose I would ever have been ambitious enough to excel at any sport if I hadn't been a cripple as a kid. I spent so much time eating my heart out because I couldn't play normally that when they took the brace off and I found I had legs that matched, it was like turning a frisky colt out to pasture after a year in a box stall. I had such a backlog of athletic ambition that I wanted to play football, basketball, and track all at one time." The braces remained for four years, the determination for a lifetime. Mac (his given name, not a nickname) Speedie (his family name, not a professional one) grew up in Utah. By the time he reached high school in Salt Lake City, Mac was already a star athlete. He earned all-city honors as a halfback and also as a basketball center before graduating and moving on to the University of Utah as a geology major. -

Eagles' Team Travel
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. -
