Halas by Halas: The Autobiography of George Halas | The Winning Edge | America's Game | Steinbrenner | Butkus
The first truly comprehensive biography on George Halas, the father of professional football
The founder of the National Football League and father of the Chicago Bears, George Halas single-handedly changed the way Americans spend their Sundays. Papa Bear tells the incredible story of how one man grabbed an outlaw game by the throat, shook it up, and made it into the richest and most popular spectator sport on the planet.
Nearly 20 years after his death, Halas remains one of the towering figures of professional sports--rivaling the legendary Vince Lombardi--yet there has never been an authoritative biography published about this great American success story. At last, Papa Bear fills that gap. Written with unprecedented access to Halas's family, his closest friends, and associates, this thoroughly researched account includes exclusive interviews and a treasure trove of never-published archival materials on the Hall of Famer and his enduring legacy.
About: Complemented by a foreword by the legendary Gale Sayers, a close-up portrait chronicles the life of George Halas, the founding father of modern professional football, using open access to the family, interviews, and archival materials to show how Halas transformed an outsider sport into the ultimate American game.
