At the Eagles practice the other day Billy Davis, the new defensive coordinator, and I were cracking up over my getting axed in '78 as it was his dad, Bill Davis, who was The Turk back then. It wasn't a great day in the Davis household when they heard I was cut and they found out it was their dad who did the knocking. I had formed quite a bond with their family and Billy was 10 or something. His dad and I are still very close friends and he told me Billy and the rest of the family didn't talk to him for two weeks.
