Summary: PAPA BEAR AT HIS FINEST
Review: Have you ever wondered how professional football and the NFL got started? Turn to this book for your answers. Find out how the oldest team in professional football got started and where the Chicago Bear traditions got started. Find out what that "G.S.H." stands for on the side of those Navy and Orange jerseys. Even find out how those jerseys became Navy and Orange. This book is something everybody who is a fan of football or more especially, the Bears should definitely read. Only drawback is that Halas carries on a little too far about explaining his favorite games. A must read for any NFL fan though.

Summary: PAPA BEAR AT HIS FINEST
Review: I THINK THIS IS A REALLY GOOD BOOK. MR. HALAS DISCUSSES THE EARLY DAYS OF PRO FOOTBALL. HIS HAND IN HELPING FORM THE LEAGUE IS EXTREMELY INTERESTING. HIS RETELLING OF RED GRANGE AND JIM THORPE IS EXCELLENT. HE TOUCHES ON MANY DIFFERENT ERAS AND FACETS OF PRO FOOTBALL. THE HISTORY OF THE CHICAGO BEARS IS WELL TOLD BY PAPA BEAR. ONE OF THE FINER POINTS IS THE INTRODUCTION OF TELEVISION AND IT'S EFFECT ON THE GAME MAKE THIS BOOK A WINNER.
VERY RECOMMENDED.

Review: This is kind of an update of the 1979 autobiography Halas by Halas. This is undoubtedly a MUST READ for any professional football fan. It is an absolutely fascinating look at the founding of professional football and its history up to 1986. We get to hear first hand what it is like to play against Jim Thorpe by somebody who was actually there! We also get a first hand account of how the game was played, how the NFL was formed, and how it progressed. Highly recommended.
