Doch nicht die Musik, sondern Football bestimmte sein Leben: 1943 hatte er George S. Halas Tochter Virginia geheiratet und der Familien-Patriarch bestand darauf, dass der erfolgreiche Kaufmann 1967 in den Vorstand der Chicago Bears eintrat. Er wurde schnell die rechte Hand seines Schwiegervaters und leitete nach dem Tod des &#171;grossen B&#228;ren&#187; im Jahre 1983 die Chicagoer NFL-Franchise. Der gr&#246;sste Erfolg seiner &#196;ra ist zweifellos der Sieg der Chicago Bears in der Super Bowl XX gegen die New England Patriots.<br>Auch innerhalb der NFL wurde McCaskey zu einer wichtigen Figur und pr&#228;sidierte diverse Komitees und Aussch&#252;sse der Liga. McCaskey galt dabei immer als besonnener und ehrlicher Gespr&#228;chspartner, der angespannte Situationen mit einem guten Witz auflockern konnte. F&#252;r viele Beobachter galt Ed McCaskey als das &#171;gute Gewissen&#187; der NFL. <br>McCaskey und seine Frau Virginia sind Eltern von 11 Kindern und zahlreichen Enkeln, von denen viele innerhalb der Bears-Organisation arbeiten und das Erbe Halas&#8216; weitertragen: Michael B. McCaskey amtet als Vorsitzender des Verwaltungsrates, Tim McCaskey als stellvertetender CEO.</div></td>
