There’s no wedge, there’s no Astroturf, no head slap (in the NFL now), how come? Because we were the walking guinea pigs for these guys.”'

Former NFL star offers area kids life lessons [4:16 AM]
Warren Tribune Chronicle reports: '"Work ethic, character, morals, values and those things that are important in life because football is only going to last a certain amount of time," Beebe said. "It's going to be over and then what? Most of them it's going to be high school and it'll be done. Then they have to go be fathers, husbands and they got to get a job. If they don't have the groundwork of character and those values in life, they're going to struggle. I want them to grasp it and understand hard work always pays off, no matter what they do in life. That's what I want them to leave with that kind of feeling - that they're on top of the world and accomplish things nobody thought they could and they have to work hard in life."'
