Can’t imagine Vince Lombardi putting up with it. I wonder about Tom Landry or Jimmy Johnson

Coach Landry flew B-17 bomber missions over Europe. I also can't see him putting up with this.

“Coach Landry flew B-17 bomber missions over Europe. I also can’t see him putting up with this.”

A lot of veterans have had NFL careers.

Art (Fatso) Donovan served in the Pacific during WW2

Sid Luckman landed at Normandy.

George Halas, WW2, 7th fleet.

Eddie LaBaron, Korea.

Chuck Bednarick, WW2, crewed a B-24.

Rocky Bleir, Vietnam, infantry.

George McAfee, WW2.

Ralph Wilson, WW2, founded the Buffalo Bills, helped with AFL/NFL merger.

Roger Staubach, Vietnam.

PAT TILLMAN!!!!! Walked away from a multimillion dollar contract to serve in the army, killed by “friendly fire”.

And that is just a very short list.
