Never Mr. Nice Guy

How tough was Eagles legend and last-of-the-two-way-players Chuck Bednarik, who died this weekend? Well, his ornery nature was well known -- he had a very, very short fuse, a volcanic temper, and the tendency to end up in feuds with everyone on and off the field. And you know about his playing style, including the famous hit on Frank Gifford. But as an Eagles fan, I can tell you this: Probably more than 30 years ago, I was at some convention at the old Philadelphia Civic Center, and Bednarik was there signing autographs. I will admit -- I was too intimidated to even go get his autograph. He had that reputation. (Philadelphia Inquirer)
