Sid Luckman (Nov. 21, 1916-July 5, 1998)
Hall of Fame quarterback, Chicago Bears
"I had gotten to know Sid through the years ... But I had never spent as much time with him as I did in
May ... Sid asked me where I was staying and I mentioned some hotel. 'Call 'em and cancel it,' he
said. 'You'll stay here with me.' In the world of the million-dollar athlete with the 10-cent attitude, such
graciousness is unheard of."
—Paul Zimmerman, Sports Illustrated, July 13, 1998
