What I best remember. I’m 80.
1943 season. This season saw the team’s first winning season in its 11-year history, with a finish of 5-4-1. In 1944, however, the Eagles finally experienced good fortune, as they made their finest draft pick to date: running back Steve Van Buren. At last, the team’s fortunes were about to change.
Led by Van Buren and Neale, the Eagles became a serious competitor for the first time. They had their first winning season as a separate team in 1944. After two more second-place finishes (in 1945 and 1946), the Eagles reached the NFL title game for the first time in 1947. Van Buren, end Pete Pihos, and Bosh Pritchard fought valiantly, but the young team fell to the Chicago Cardinals 28-21 at Chicago’s Comiskey Park. Undeterred, the young squad rebounded and returned to face the Cardinals once more in the 1948 championship. With home-field advantage (and a blinding snowstorm) on their side, the Eagles won their first NFL Championship 7-0. Due to the severity of the weather, few fans were on hand to witness the joyous occasion. That would not be the case the following season, however, when the Eagles returned to the NFL championship game for the third consecutive year and won in dominating fashion in front of a large crowd in Los Angeles, beating the Los Angeles Rams 14-0.
In Thompson’s final draft, Chuck Bednarik was selected as the first overall pick in the 1949 NFL Draft. An All-American lineman/linebacker from the University of Pennsylvania, Bednarik would go on to become one of the greatest and most beloved players in Eagles history. The 1949 season also saw the sale of the team by Thompson to a syndicate of 100 buyers, known as the “Happy Hundred”, each of whom paid a fee of $3,000 for their share of the team. While the leader of the “Happy Hundred” was noted Philadelphia businessman James P. Clark, one unsung investor was Leonard Tose, a name that would eventually become very familiar to Eagles fans.[3]
Since the NFL has ‘shat’ on me and my brother and sister military veterans, I will be foregoing any sort of celebratory food gorging and not watching.
We’ll be watching the puppy bowl.
Did someone say chili?
My Recipe:
Chili Con Carne
2-3 Lbs beef round or chuck steak (or hamburger)
3 TBS vegetable oil
2 medium onions (about 1 LB) chopped
1/4 cups flour
2-4 cloves garlic
1 TBS chopped Serrano pepper
3 oz tomato paste (1/2 of a 6 oz can)
3 cups crushed tomatoes, or equivalent
3 TBS red chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 TBS oregano
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp salt
2 TBS cider vinegar
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 TBS powdered, unsweetened chocolate
4 cups red kidney beans, home-cooked or canned (add more to your preference and black beans for greater depth of flavor)
Method:
Grind meat in a meat grinder—course blade. In a fry pan, brown the ground beef in 1-1/2 TBS oil. Take off the heat and drain the meat If using hamburger draining of oil will be necessary. For leaner cuts of chuck, little draining will be necessary, if at all (a little fat adds to the flavor).
Put the rest of the oil (1-1/2 TBS) in a large pot, over low heat, add the onion and wilt with a cover on the pan. Be careful you don’t overheat the onions by checking every minute their progress. Remove the lid and continue to brown, stirring frequently. Quickly add garlic, and cook briefly. (you don’t want the onion to brown excessively and you want the heat to quickly bloom the garlic) Remember, any browning of garlic adds bitterness to your recipe. Take the pot off of the heat. Quickly sprinkle with the flour and stir until uniform. If completing the cooking in a crock pot, deglaze the pan with 1 cup of water and put this mixture into the crock pot.
This step can be done in a crock pot:
To the cooking pot(or crock pot), add ALL of the of the ingredients turn down heat and stir. Put on cover and cook gently for 1-1/2 hours if over a burner and 4 hours on high in the crock pot. Add water if necessary (if cooking over a burner) and stir occasionally. Taste for saltiness and make adjustment.
The addition of unsweetened chocolate (hopefully dark chocolate) adds a mole’ flavor!!! Nice!
“That’s pretty much my list as well except I will be drinking Yards which is actually brewed
in Philly and more of a craft beer.”
Will have to see if I can get my hands on some of that down here in FL.
Winner
It’s “Kitten Bowl” for us on Hallmark. Then maybe start binge watching “Better Call Saul” on Netflix.
Frito Pie.
Popcorn mixed with melted butter and Parmesan cheese.
wow, great story. thanks for posting
i like it. we make a similar recipe but throw in some wild boar, lots of them here in calif.
Interesting history I wasn’t aware of before, though I’ve heard of Van Buren and Bednarik. Thanks
Bednarik was a Penn Teammate of my 6 th grade 48-49 teacher Ed Lawless who also coached our k-12 Germantown Academy varsity football team.
It was a thrill just to know that even if I don’t remember if he visited the school. I became a center, like him, but occupied the bench.
I’ll be at the range during the day, but we are going to a Soup-in-bowls party. I liked the name and the hosts so much, that I decided to go to this sports-free celebration. No NFL for me.
Homemade onion dip is best. Add to sour cream dehydrated onion flakes toasted in the micro for maybe 12 to 15 seconds, as they burn easy. Add a little beef base, a little seasoning salt, a touch of sugar and let it marry in the fridge for a couple hours. Yum!
I might be snacking but I won’t be watching.
We have homemade chili and skillet cornbread from scratch so far.
Liz, omg. That is cool and my family would have loved it had we been planning on watching the game.
