NFL news...

"Concrete Charlie" NFL Hall of Fame member Chuck Bednarik is hospitalized in serious condition... the Eagles' Hall of Fame member was the last man to play 60 minutes(both ways),in the NFL,and was member of Eagles' team who beat Packers,17-13,in the 1960 NFL Championship game,the only playoff loss of Vince Lombardi's coaching career... he got his legendary nickname,by being a concrete salesman,in the offseason,and he could hit like concrete... ask Frank Gifford... there is a great picture of Gifford laying on the turf,with Bednarik standing over him,during a New York Giants/Philadelphia Eagles game... he put him out for rest of that season... hope and pray he recovers!!!!
