What a joke. Eddie was convicted of bribery for giving Fast Eddie Edwards of Louisiana big bucks for a riverboat gambling license. He had to yield control of the 49ers to his sister.
Crime pays again for Youngstown’s finest.
You need to check your facts, because they aren’t true. He was never convicted. He plead guilty to B.S. charges. He never received any license. And he was never forced by the league to yield control to his sister. He was suspended by the league for one year. He was supposed to come back, but he decided not to. The league had nothing to do with it.

Yeah, I lived in New Orleans when it became exposed that Bartolo was throwing bags of money into garbage bins so Edwards cronies could pick them up. Money was to ensure Bartolo’s company would get the last riverboat casino in the state.
He plea-dealed so he could be used to testify against Edwards so he could be thrown into the federal penitentiary.
Hall of Fame? should be hall of shame instead.
Unless it had something to do with football I don’t think it should matter.
His old man would have dealt with the NFL. And we'd have a better game because of it.
