You gotta like that picture Fox just showed of Philly icon and Hall of Fame LB Chuck Bednarik celebrating after the Eagles beat the Packers in the 1960 NFL Championship game..
It’s not often you see a guy taking a drag on a cigarette take a few seconds to puff on a victory cigar..
Badnarik was the last true two way players in the NFL.. He’d played 130+ games at both center and LB in his career.. played 58 of 60 minutes of that 1960 championship game against the Packers. Bednarik made the final tackle in that game, stopping Jim Taylor from scoring the winning TD in the final seconds of what was a 17-13 win by the Eagles..
