Now, I'm a lifelong NY Giants fan since Sam Huff days an arch rival fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, BUT I found this excerpt from the book,cFOOTBALL, great writing about the national sport, to be just that, GREAT. Chuck Bednarik, linebacker and center, is a great read and reminded me of what football used to be, and what has become now.Enjoy the read !!!

When Frank got hurt I sent a card to his hospital room - he sent me back this postcard (April 1961). Not sure under what circumstances I got the postcard from Sam Huff.
