message: Anyone who has the accurate coaching record for Halas should update the table. Not sure who the genius is that put in the 2008 season in progress. I mean as far as I know Halas, rest his soul, is six feet under and Lovie Smith is the coach. Rgoss25 14:24, 23 Oct 2008 (EST)

message: Halas looks to be, arguably, the most dominant figure in the history of the NFL. I think Rozelle is rated higher than him in a poll of the media, although I could be wrong, but I do not agree with their conclusion if that is the case. Halas is a monumental figure.  so editing this article should not be underestimated. 66.234.33.8 (talk) 20:40, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Except that he wasn't only "dominant," he was dominating, in the worst sense of the word. The article includes nothing about Halas's unrelenting attempts to undermine and back-stab the American Football League, and especially Lamar Hunt's Dallas Texans. He agreed to let Murchison expand with the Cowboys after years of refusing to add a Dallas franchise, and he did it only after Hunt made the AFL announcement. (Which Hunt would never have had to do if Halas had allowed a Dallas NFL franchise earlier.) Throughout the following decade he tried continually to undermine the AFL, threatening players with blacklisting if they went with an AFL team instead of the NFL. A small-minded and very selfish man. --Michael K SmithTalk  23:37, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Please add the name STAN JONES to the list. He played guard for the 63 .
Championship Bears and was inducted into the hall of fame .  He was the first man to use weights in the NFL and the last lineman to play a complete playoff game on both offense and defense.  
Thanks

message: It is mentioned in the opening paragraph that Mr. Halas was known as in inventor. There is no expansion on that in the article. A source would be great for that. I was curious and tried to find more information, and I couldn't find anything. Who knew him as an inventor and why?

message: The phrase "the advent of World War 2 in 1942" plays into a certain stereotype of ignorance of global events. 81.79.185.161 (talk) 08:31, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
