I see that today is the birthday of George Halas (1895-1983), original owner and long-time coach of the Chicago Bears, not to mention original founder of the National Football League. That guy pretty much invented professional football.
I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Papa Bear, not just because I'm from the Chicago area and my family have always been Bears fans. There is also a family connection, albeit an extremely flimsy one by the time you get to me, through my sister-in-law. Her uncle was married to George's niece.
That makes George Halas my brother's wife's father's brother's wife's mother's brother.
