The only time I got the attention to 54 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 4: the boys is when I got into an argument in 55 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 4: the school playground about knowing Grange, and that was, oh, no, 56 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 4: you don't, you don't know him. So I came home 57 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 4: that night and told my dad, and he got an 58 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 4: autograph picture from Red that yes he knew me, and 59 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 4: he thought I was swell. 60 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 3: In the nineteen thirties and forties, the Bears won a 61 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 3: whopping six NFL championships, and Virginia saw them all. 62 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 2: She knew all the. 63 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 3: Players too, like star quarterback Sid Luckman, who led the 64 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 3: nineteen forty team to the greatest route in titled game history. 65 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 4: Remember going to the memorial service when Sid Luckman died 66 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 4: and the young rabbi admitted that he didn't know anything 67 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 4: about football, and he talked about the championship game and 68 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 4: said the score was I understand the score was seventy 69 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 4: three to zero, and we all kind of jerked the 70 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 4: no at seven to nothing. My favorite championship was nineteen 71 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 4: sixty three because by that time he was sixty eight 72 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 4: years old and people were saying he ought to retire, 73 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 4: the game had passed him by. That's the one that 74 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 4: really hurt, and he wound up winning the championship that year. 75 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 4: That was good. 76 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 5: And here comes Way bursting over the guard. 77 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 3: Mate to ten was Sicono. 78 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: Bag to be the Giants the championship. 79 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: George Hallis did more than coach the game, he built 80 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 3: it so after his death in nineteen eighty three, Virginia 81 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: continued his work leading the Bears for more than three decades, 82 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 3: ultimately turning the team over first to son Michael and 83 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: later to George. Both represented the next generation of the 84 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 3: Hellis family trade. Virginia mca her stewardship of the Bears 85 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 3: was not so much a duty but a daughter's joy. 86 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 4: I loved my dad and his life was football, and 87 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 4: so it became my life. 88 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell released a statement a short time 89 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: ago saying, Virginia Hallis McCaskey, the matriarch of the Chicago 90 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 1: Bears and daughter of George Hallis, the founder of the NFL, 91 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: leaves a legacy of class, dignity, and humanity. Faith, Family 92 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: and football in that order were her north stars, and 93 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: she lived by the simple adage to always do the 94 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: right thing. The Bears that her father's started meant the 95 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: world to her, and he would be proud of the 96 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: way she continued the family business with such dedication and passion. 97 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: Our thoughts and prayers go out to the McCaskey and 98 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,679 Speaker 1: Hallis families and Bears fans around the world. We certainly 99 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: echo those condolences here on this show, Judy Battista, you 100 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: knew Virginia Hallis McCaskey, tell us about the woman you 101 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: knew well. 102 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 6: I mean, she was really the last direct link to 103 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 6: the founding of the NFL. 104 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 5: She was born less. 105 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 6: Than three years after her dad was you know famously 106 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 6: at the car dealership in Canton, Ohio. 107 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 5: When the league was formed. 108 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 6: She went on a barnstorming tour when she was a 109 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 6: toddler with her dad and Red Grange, an effort to 110 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 6: promote the fledgling league. So she was buddies with Red 111 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 6: Grange from the time she was a child. You heard 112 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 6: her say in that clip there that like kids at 113 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 6: school did not believe that she knew Red Grange. Ye, 114 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 6: she knew Red Grange. When she was an adult, she 115 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 6: would sit in the stands at Soldier Fields with her dad, 116 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 6: and her dad at that point was you know, in 117 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 6: his eighties, and she watched him be enraptured by the game, 118 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 6: how passionate he was, how worked up he would get 119 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 6: over every play, And she went home after the first 120 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 6: one of those games. This was in the seventies, and 121 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 6: she was worried about his well being. She thought like, 122 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 6: is it a good thing for an eighty year old 123 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 6: to get this wound up over a football game? And 124 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 6: then after a few days she thought about a thought 125 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 6: like what a gift to be eighty years old and 126 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 6: still be so passionate about something and only a few 127 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 6: years later her father passed away. She was never supposed 128 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 6: to inherit the Bears. She was George Hollis's oldest child, 129 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 6: but her younger brother was supposed to inherit the Bears. 130 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 6: Her younger brother passed away before her father did, and 131 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 6: so she took over the team. She was very much 132 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 6: in the background as an owner. She let her husband 133 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 6: and then her sons run the franchise, although she was 134 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 6: very very involved in decision making. Even though you didn't 135 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 6: hear very much from missus McCaskey, she was involved really 136 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 6: up until very close to the end of her life 137 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 6: and everything that was going on day to day at 138 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 6: the Bears. 139 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 7: You talk about the passion at age eighty. 140 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 8: She was ninety one when the Bears fired Phil Emery 141 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 8: and Mark Dressman, and George McCaskey was asked about his 142 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 8: mother's reaction and he said, quote, she's pissed. 143 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 7: Said, I don't know if. 144 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 8: You can refer to a ninety one year old woman 145 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 8: in that regard, but that's how angry she is. And 146 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 8: she had been on the earth for eight of the 147 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 8: nine Bears championships that they had won in their history, 148 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 8: and she wanted to see that number grow to ten. 149 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 8: So she certainly had the passion for winning and the 150 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 8: passion for this franchise, and they did a great job 151 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 8: off the field as well. 152 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 7: She has done a. 153 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,679 Speaker 8: Great job with the Bears Care Program, trying to improve 154 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 8: the lives of those in the inner city in Chicago. 155 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 8: So a great loss not only to the Bears organization 156 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 8: and to the NFL, but also to the Chicago area. 157 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 9: No doubt about it. 158 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,079 Speaker 10: There's so much to this, so much to remember and 159 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 10: appreciate of Virginia mccaskey's incredible life. There is also the 160 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 10: football part of it and the franchise part of it, 161 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 10: and obviously for the Chicago Bears. It is worth noting, 162 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 10: guys that George McCaskey has in fact been running the 163 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 10: Bears on a day to day basis for some time 164 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 10: you pull up to Bears training camp sometimes he's just 165 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 10: out there greeting fans, shaking their hands. That will continue. 166 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 10: In min understanding is nothing really will change as far 167 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 10: as the running of the Bears goes with today's events. 168 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 10: Still needs to gather the thirty percent necessary to be 169 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 10: the controlling owner.

Most of us that want to 194 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 11: understand history in the National Football League that really began 195 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 11: back in nineteen twenty she lived it.
