5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the definitive history of the NFL thru 1980, February 4, 2004

Howard A. Lapin (Edwardsville, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Chicago Bears: From George Halas to Super Bowl Xx, an Illustrated History (Paperback)

This book may be about the Chicago Bears, but by necessity it covers the formation of the NFL, and the history of the league. A fantastic book for any Bear fan, it chronicles the Bear teams season by season, starting from the very seeds of the NFL up until the 1980s. Complete with hundreds of photographs (mostly black and white), the book provides an easy-to-read history of Bear teams. While the original book covered seasons through the late 1970s, it was reprinted with a new foreward by Mike Ditka, with color photographs of the 1985 season, and of course, a few more years of season-by-season coverage of the Monsters of the Midway. I learned more about the NFL's history by "reading" this book than I did in 20 years of avidly watching 6 games per week, ESPN, and NFL Films. If you can't imagine a young, struggling George Halas trying to make pro football work in the big city, or you don't remember a time when winning an NFL championship was a 3rd page story, even in the city that won the game 73-0, then this book will enlighten you tremendously.
