		It wasn't long after Bert Bell was elected the National Football League's commissioner in January 1946, that he demonstrated he would be a fearless, tireless leader who would guide the league to new heights of popularity.

		Bell's first order of business as commissioner was to prepare the NFL for "war" with the All-America Football Conference which had been founded in this first post-World war II season armed with apparently plenty of money and a healthy share of the top players of the day.
		Bell matched the champions of the defunct AAFC, the Cleveland Browns, against the defending NFL titlists, the Philadelphia Eagles.
		Paradoxically, the huge successes Bell enjoyed as commissioner were almost totally missing during the early days of his pro football career when he was first a part-owner and later a sole owner of the struggling Philadelphia Eagles club during the depression days of the 1930s.

		It was almost poetic, Bell drawing his final breath at Franklin Field, where he played quarterback for the Quakers, watching a game between the Eagles and Steelers, teams he once owned back when he was beginning his life-long love affair with pro football.

		Injury reports date from the 1940s, when the NFL commissioner, Bert Bell, was dealing with the aftermath of the 1946 championship game between the New York Giants and Chicago Bears.
