[QUOTE="XaveMave, post: 446320, member: 6595"] Here's a classic tale of what happened to a Packers' draft pick back in 1957: Article from ProFootballFolkore.com. Never abuse another person's telephone privileges. You will make an enemy for life. It's a cosmic rule. Even though the lending person may smile and say 'It's okay' after you recklessly run up thirty minutes on his or her mobile, we surely can bet our bottom dollar that seething Mr./Ms. Generosity wants to reach over and stab you in the neck with a fork ... Ask unfortunate Green Bay Packers' offensive lineman Rudy Schoendorf about the unspoken rule. Schoendorf, a promising lineman out of Miami of Ohio yet struggling with his studies, decides to opt out of homework and leaves the college in 1955 on academic probation. Hulking and strong, Schoendorf remains ineligible for professional football until 1957, when Green Bay selects the 21 year old lineman in the Player Draft during the fourteenth round. Excited with his prospects, Schoendorf quickly signs with the club and awaits the late summer training session. Schoendorf never plays a league down. In June 1957, Schoendorf, college teammate Norm Mooney, recently signed by the New York Giants, and three other companions enter the Golden Lily Tavern at Bowling Green, Ohio for unspecified reasons. According to news reports, Schoendorf asks bartender Gerald Bryant for use of his telephone and then proceeds to dial up and chat away on two long distance calls. Bryant demands recompense for Schoendorf's calls, the latter refuses, and a dispute arises. The reports do not mention any involvement with alcohol among the parties, but where there's smoke ... The dispute intensifies after Schoendorf rips Bryant's shirt in a brief tussle. Schoendorf leaves the bar with his friends, yet the entire party returns a short time later and Schoendorf offers Bryant a dollar for his torn shirt. After Schoendorf again refuses to pay for the calls, both again exchange fists before Bryant, probably on the losing end of the fight, reaches under the counter to retrieve a .32 revolver. Bryant shoots Mooney in the mouth and Schoendorf in the chest and stomach. The latter sadly expires of his wounds and Bryant pleads self defense to avert formal charges. What a tragic way to depart the life. Like we declared above, take note of the building fury in your immediate proximity the next time you mooch off someone's telephone charges. Things might not end so well. [/QUOTE]
