You have to give it up to Schmeling, he never gave in to the nazis. He did what he thought was right and did not waver. He made a good amount of money later in life when he bought the first Coca-Cola franchise in Germany. He also paid for Joe Louis' funeral.

You Eagles get off my legacy or I'll call the cops!
This guy obviously has a problem with losing what little fame he still has. Being a member of the last Philadelphia team to win a championship in the NFL affords Bednarik some status. Should the Eagles win Sunday, that goes right out the window. Another thing that sticks in Bednarik's craw are the salaries today's players are making. While it is too bad that Bednarik and his contemporaries didn't receive the money they deserved, that argument is ancient history. Those of us old enough to remember seeing (or reading about) Bednarik being a 2 way player realize how special a feat it was and congratulate him, but it's time he act his age and stop his whining.
