Ray Didinger is an NFL hall of fame sports writer who was friends with Tommy from his playing days in Philadelphia.
He worked NFL films and the big 3 newspapers in Philadelphia. He now does commentary on nbcsports.com/philadelphia.
Go google Tommy and me.

Never called for his firing.
Now he has a full deck for a fair assessment .

Irv had more than his share of problems in college and then well into his NFL career. They were well documented. About 1/2 wat thru his NFL he cleaned himself up and for many years became a well respected individual, and not just with his ministry.
Sad indeed.
