Twocubdad 665 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I didn't know Greene was an Eagle. We've have Panther season tickets since the first season and I never knew that. Did Gerald Ford play in the NFL? I know he played at UM. Link to post Share on other sites

Bob58 10 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I googled up the following... http://teacher.scholastic.com/researchtools/articlearchives/civics/presid/focus/prchford.htm Question: How did you feel when you received offers to play professional football and why did you turn down the offers? -- Mrs. Hargrove's 6th Grade, Canby Lane School, Decatur, GA. President Ford: Quite frankly, I was overwhelmed to receive two offers to play professional football from the Detroit Lions and the Greenbay Packers. I was tempted because it was during the Depression when there weren't very many jobs available for a college graduate. The nation was faced with 25% unemployment. Fortunately, I was offered a job as Assistant Football Coach at Yale University for a salary of $2,400 a year. I thought this was a better opportunity, though less money, than playing Pro football, because I would also have the opportunity to attend Yale University Law School. As I look back, I made the right decision, although on occasion it would have been nice to have played one year in the NFL. I think this illustrates that you have to make tough choices. I'm glad that it worked out the way it did. Link to post Share on other sites
