Superstar salaries have not always been super. In 1933, after beating the New York Giants in the first East-West championship game in NFL history, each of the victorious Chicago Bears was awarded a bonus: $210.34. Bill Hewitt's bonus for scoring a touchdown? A free overcoat!
[The Giants each received $140.22.]
