June 19, 2013 Contact: D. Orlando Ledbetter (404-805-6310; Darryl.Ledbetter@Ajc.Com) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 19, 2013 Contact: D. Orlando Ledbetter (404-805-6310; [email protected]) CHICAGO TRIBUNE’S DAN POMPEI SELECTED AS PFWA’S 2013 DICK McCANN AWARD WINNER Dan Pompei of the Chicago Tribune, who has covered the NFL for 28 years, has been selected as the 2013 Dick McCann Award winner by the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA). Pompei, the 45th McCann Award winner, began his career writing for the school newspaper at Elmhurst College, from which he graduated in 1982. After further study in journalism at Columbia College, he returned to Elmhurst to serve as the school’s sports information director and began doing agate in 1983 at the Chicago Sun-Times. When the Sun-Times needed additional manpower when the Chicago Bears got hot to begin the 1985 season on the way to winning Super Bowl XX, Pompei was sent to cover the Bears on a semi-regular basis. By the end of the season, he was the main reporter for news on the beat. The Chicago-area native moved to The Sporting News in 1997. After a successful stint there, he went to work for the Chicago Tribune in 2007 as the paper’s Bears/NFL columnist, replacing the legendary Don Pierson, the PFWA’s 1994 McCann Award winner. Pompei, 51, is one of the 46 selectors for the Pro Football Hall of Fame and one of nine members of the hall’s senior selection committee. The McCann Award is given to a reporter who has made a long and distinguished contribution to pro football through coverage. The award is named for McCann, who was the first director of the Pro Football Hall of Fame (1962-67). McCann was a longtime reporter in New York with several newspapers, the Newspaper Enterprise Association and King Features Syndicate. After a stint in the Navy in World War II, he was a sports columnist for the Washington Times-Herald in 1945. A year later, he joined the Washington Redskins as publicity director and was the club’s general manager from 1947-62 before taking the job with the Hall of Fame before its’ 1963 opening. The McCann Award will be presented to Pompei during the Enshrinees’ Gold Jacket Dinner at the Memorial Civic Center and Cultural Center on Friday, Aug. 2, 2013 in Canton, Ohio, during the 2013 Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival. Pompei is the fourth Chicago Tribune writer to receive the McCann Award. George Strickler was the inaugural award-winner in 1969. Cooper Rollow (1985) and Pierson were also honored by the PFWA. “Dan’s work is that of a consummate professional, defined by his thorough reporting and lovely writing,” said Mike Kellams, the Tribune’s associate managing editor/sports. “He treats readers well. He treats his colleagues even better. It is only fitting that Dan joins Chicago Tribune greats Don Pierson, Cooper Rollow and George Strickler in receiving this award. As they have distinguished the Tribune’s reporters from the rest, so has Dan. We couldn’t be happier for him. It’s well deserved.” ABOUT THE PFWA: The Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA) is the official voice of pro football writers, promoting and fighting for access to NFL personnel to best serve the public. The PFWA is made up of accredited writers who cover the NFL and the 32 teams on a daily basis. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s D. Orlando Ledbetter, who covers the Atlanta Falcons, is the organization’s president for 2013-15. Follow the PFWA on Twitter at @PFWAwriters.

  • Frequently Asked Questions - About the Selection Process
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 23, No. 3 (2001) Frequently Asked Questions - About the Selection Process Courtest the Pro Football Hall of Fame Charged with the vital task of continuing to be sure that new enshrinees are the finest the game has produced is the Pro Football Hall of Fame's 38-man Board of Selectors. The Board consists of one media representative from each pro football city with two from New York, inasmuch as that city has two teams in the National Football League. A 32nd member is a representative of the Pro Football Writers of America and there are six at-large delegates. With the exception of the PFWA representative who is appointed for a two-year term, all appointments are of the open-end variety and can be terminated only by retirement or resignation, as long as the member continues to attend meetings regularly. The Board of Selectors meets annually at the time of the Super Bowl to elect new members. There is no set number for any class of enshrinees but, the Board's current ground rules do stipulate that between four and seven new members will be selected each year. The 1973 and 1976 classes of three were the smallest ever named. Every candidate is carefully scrutinized and must receive at least 80 percent approval of the Board at the annual meeting before he can be elected. A scale of negative votes for elimination that will vary depending on the number of Selectors in attendance is used. When the Selectors meet in Tampa, Florida next January to name the Class of 2001, they will have before them a roster of 15 final candidates, along with detailed biographies on each.

Argiz 2010-11 Orange Bowl Committee President & Chair of the Board Spring is a time to reflect, re-energize and re-strategize, and the Orange Bowl Committee is doing all of that and more to prepare for the upcoming 2010-11 Orange Bowl Festival. Let us take a moment to reflect on yet another successful Orange Bowl Festival. Under the leadership of immediate past president Phillis Oeters and CEO Eric Poms, the Committee hosted two successful athletic programs from the University of Iowa and Georgia Tech, along with the tens of thousands of their fans who flocked to South Florida. I would like to congratulate and thank our partners, volunteers, committee members and staff, who worked hard to maintain the Orange Bowl Festival among the preeminent events in South Florida and nationwide. By bringing events that create significant economic impact and visibility to South Florida, the Committee defines what civic organizations should do for a community. Not only do we host two of the top rated football teams in the country at the FedEx Orange Bowl, but we also produce the successful MetroPCS Orange Bowl Basketball Classic at the BankAtlantic Center. In addition, we have the Seminole Hard Rock Orange Bowl Halftime Show that continues to carry on the Orange Bowl tradition of providing world-class entertainment. Furthermore, both the AvMed Orange Bowl Coaches Luncheon and the Baptist Health Orange Bowl Prayer Breakfast in support of the FCA sold out filling Miami’s Jungle Island. But none of this would matter if we didn’t make a difference in the lives of tomorrow’s leaders.

Linden © 2016 Andrew D. Linden Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2016 ii The dissertation of Andrew D. Linden was reviewed and approved* by the following: Jaime Schultz Associate Professor of Kinesiology and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Mark Dyreson Professor of Kinesiology R. Scott Kretchmar Professor of Exercise and Sport Science Nan Elizabeth Woodruff Professor of Modern U.S. History and African American Studies Stephen J. Piazza Professor of Kinesiology Graduate Program Director, Department of Kinesiology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Politics and political movements appeared in professional football since the sport emerged. However, because the National Football League (NFL) was not yet popular across the country, these issues had little effect on the broader culture. In the second half of the century, the NFL became the most popular consumer sport in the country. Conflicts between labor and capital, between men and women, between races and ethnicities, and between groups associated with the broader counterculture and liberation movements were brought by political advocates into the sport. Nonetheless, throughout this same time, the league had political priorities of its own and endorsed certain political issues while not engaging others. In this dissertation, I utilize a “multiple histories” approach to analyze the effect of social movements on the NFL and demonstrate the influence of political football in American culture.
