George Halas seconded the motion. All HAIL!!! :dj: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFKFedEx Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Grandson John Mara is the whiny one we know today. Granpappy Tim Mara was the guy who green lighted the expansion Braves in '33. Wellington Mara agreed to TV revenue sharing in the merger of 1970, he was Tim's son and John's dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
