[Anthony Sperando · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very insightful and in-depth description of George Halas' life and origins of the Chicago Bears organization. Then the book randomly switches to random stories about more recent Bears players, then back to Halas/McCaskey family history.
Just felt all over the place. Certainly worth a read for any Bears fans.

Read hard cover.

3.5 out of 5, some good stories, lots of McCaskey incite, but I feel like lots of it I have heard before. The appendix of HOF speeches at the end is pretty cool.
