  • When the Eagles Flew High
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 19, No. 3 (1997) WHEN THE EAGLES FLEW HIGH By Stanley Grosshandler To have one top flight center is a real luxury to any NFL team today; to have three, well that is just unheard of. One team, the 1949 Philadelphia Eagles had such a prominent trio in Alex Wojciechowicz, Chuck Bednarik, and Vic Lindskog. Alex and Chuck made the Hall of Fame, while Vic was voted the best center in the league in 1951. Wojie, the elder statesman of the trio, had been a two-time All-American at Fordham where he centered the legendary "Seven Rocks of Granite." One story had it that he went to a coach and asked him if he should change his name so that people might have an easier time remembering him. The coach replied, "Son the way you play nobody will forget you." Alex entered the NFL in 1938 with the Lions, going to the Eagles in 1946. He retired in 1951 after playing parts of three decades and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1968. The second Hall of Fame pivot man, Chuck Bednarik, came to the Eagles in 1949. He was their bonus draft choice from Penn where he too had been an All-American. He made All-League eight times and as late as 1960 was playing both ways on the championship Eagle team. The last player to do this, his jersey hangs in the Hall of Fame as a tribute to this feat. A bruising tackler, he was often quoted as saying he enjoyed hitting and any player who didn't should not be out there.

  • APBA's GREAT FOOTBALL TEAMS of the PAST
    APBA’s GREAT FOOTBALL TEAMS OF THE PAST - Vol. 2 1. PHILADELPHIA 1949 The Eagles breezed to their third straight Eastern Division crown losing only once in twelve games, a 38-21 setback at the Bears October 16. Philly finished 4 1/2 games ahead of second place Pittsburgh. The Eagles' success still rested on the twin pillars of their outstanding 5-2-4 "Eagle Defense" and a ball-control offense built around All-Pro RB Steve Van Buren, who led the league in rushing attempts, yards, and rushing TDs. The other speedy HB, Bosh Pritchard, provided a wide threat. The pilot of the highest-scoring offense in the league, Tommy Thompson, has been somewhat overlooked for his contributions to the Eagles' success. The slick ballhandler was adept at faking a handout, hiding the ball on his hip, and flinging a pass downfield. 2. GREEN BAY 1966 This team won Super Bowl I. The Packers went 12-2 during the regular season beating the Dallas Cowboys in the “Ice Bow” on quarterback Bart Starr’s one-yard sneak for the game winning touchdown. Two weeks later, the Packers soundly beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl I. This was Starr’s only MVP season. This was the second of Green Bay’s three consecutive NFL championship teams. Hall of Famers at every level on this team. Many of them All-Time Greats. 3. MIAMI 1972 The only team to have a perfect regular season record and win the Super Bowl. During the 1972 season, Bob Griese’s ankle was broken in Week 5 as he was sacked by San Diego Chargers defensive tackle Ron East and defensive end Deacon Jones.

  • SNOW BIRDS the 1948 Philadelphia Eagles
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 3, No. 12 (1981) SNOW BIRDS The 1948 Philadelphia Eagles By Bob Carroll & The Pro Football Hall of Fame This is an upbeat story. You don't see many of them anymore, what with violence down in the street, nuclear holocaust around the corner, and much of the world 'round the bend. But this story happened in a less cynical age, and so we don't have to feel uneasy if there's a happy ending. It's a story about a football team that kept losing until they hired a coach who had learned to win, about the team's greatest player, best season, and most crucial game. More than that, it's about "professionals," in the sense of men who knew what they were expected to do and went out and did it. It's about winners. But, for a long time, they were anything but. The Philadelphia Eagles were born in 1933 during the Depression -- their symbol was the Blue Eagle of Roosevelt's National Recover Act -- and, for the remainder of the Thirties, they were a depressed area in the National Football League. Future NFL commissioner Bert Bell, along with several partners, purchased the franchise for $2,500 and an agreement to pay off a portion of the debts left behind in 1931 by the Frankford Yellow Jackets, Philadelphia's early NFL team. In the Eagles' first game, the New York Giants humiliated them, 56-0. Although they improved from there, the Birds set up permanent residence at the bottom of the NFL pack.

  • 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.

  • PHILADELPHIA EAGLES EDITION Philadelphia Eagles Team History
    TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 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 fi nished 5-4-1. Counting the 1943 season, Neale coached the Eagles for 10 seasons and he led them to their fi rst signifi cant 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 fi nished 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.
