As Sid Luckman made headlines across New York City for his football exploits at Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn, his father, Meyer Luckman, was making headlines for the gangland murder of his own brother-in-law. Sid became a star at Columbia and then led the Chicago Bears to multiple NFL championships; Meyer wasted away in Sing Sing. But the connection between sports celebrity son and mobster father has been overlooked for eight decades. Here Rosen traces the rise of the National Football League through the dynastic Chicago Bears, and the demise of the Brooklyn labor rackets triggered by Meyer Luckman. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 796.33209 Luckman Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.33209 Luckman Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList
