message: What idiot would remove the picture I included on George Allen?  It's a public domain picture from his time as a member of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.  Please stop being stupid and leave the picture as is. Seancp (talk) 15:17, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No need for personal attacks. I did not think it was the same George Allen, but I stand corrected. It could've been made clearer where the picture was from, when you added it in the first place. Enigmaman (talk) 15:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's just frustrating to have to deal with this kind of crap.  All you had to do was click on the picture and then you'd see a link to where it came from.  Seancp (talk) 15:22, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

message: NBC's post-game locker-room television coverage infamously captured Bears players singing "Hooray for George, Hooray at last; Hooray for George, He's a Horse's ass!"
Huh? CBS had the NFL TV contract in 1963. NBC had the AFL TV contract. Is that quote from an NBC network reporter, a reporter for Chicago's NBC affiliate,  or CBS' post-game coverage? scooteristi (talk) 04:34, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It is indeed true that by 1963 Pete Rozelle had negotiated a contract between the league and CBS that brought all 14 NFL teams under the "Eye Network" umbrella (even until the early 1960s some Colts, Steelers, and Eagles games were carried by NBC).  But since 1955 NBC had the exclusive rights to the NFL Championship Game, and this obligation continued through the 1963 season.  Jack Brickhouse and Chris Schenkel, the Bears' and Giants' respective TV broadcasters, shared the play-by-play for NBC in the 1963 game.  Also, AFL games were shown exclusively on ABC until 1965, when NBC won the contract.  Lantana11 (talk) 07:28, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Whittier College, where Allen coached in the 50's, has a "George Allen Leadership Award" that is given annually to the football team member deemed to have exhibited the best leadership qualities during the season.  I believe there's a facility of some sort on campus named after Allen as well (not the football stadium).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.102.138.146 (talk) 18:57, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

message: I just watched the November 23 1980 game between the Chicago Bears and Atlanta Falcons. The color commentator was George Allen. He is also listed on the Wikipedia page of CBS football commentator pairings. Perhaps a mention of his broadcasting career can be added?68.100.120.63 (talk) 17:13, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
