08:41 AM ET 03.05 | Somewhat understandably, Mark Bavaro wore a bull's-eye. [Bavaro] could never prove he was a target of bounty-hunting assassins, but in the NFL, if you are regarded as the king of beasts, then most likely the law of the jungle was going to be enforced. "I only had my suspicions for everybody, but especially the [Buddy Ryan-coached] Eagles," the Giants tight end great told The Post. "I never had any hard evidence." Bavaro recalled the day he was ejected against Ryan's predators. "Andre Waters was trying to take my knee out, and he told me so during the game," Bavaro said. "He almost did." Waters, who had a reputation as arguably the dirtiest player in football, told Bavaro: "I know which knee you had surgery on."

Just so you don't have to look it up, Bavaro retired after the 1994-95 season. He played his last 2 years as.....a Philidelphia Eagle.

The tip of the iceberg gets bigger. Expect more former players to come forward with stories from both sides.

If he'd said he had to go feed his horses' behinds, that would be Rob and Rex.
