From the rear cover
" . . . Jeff Davis's ambitious reconstruction of the life and times of George Halas is probably the most thorough examination ever performed on the founding father of the Chicago Bears and all of pro football."
--Chicago Tribune
"Papa Bear is everything a sports book should be: passionate, encyclopedic, utterly biased, and filled with endearingly anachronistic phrases . . . "
--New York Times Book Review
"With Papa Bear, Jeff Davis is the first writer to truly capture the larger-than-life saga of football's most epic figure, George Halas, in all his crackling, electrifying presence."
--Peter Gent, former NFL player and author of North Dallas Forty
Featuring personal interviews with friends, NFL executives, sportswriters, rivals, and unforgettable players and coaches such as Sid Luckman, Dick Butkus, and Mike Ditka, Papa Bear sheds light on both the sinner and the saint who was George Halas. Author Jeff Davis delivers the full-fledged, no-holds-barred story of the mystery and the man who made pro football America's secular religion.
