Sid Luckman is one of the most iconic figures in NFL history. He was a Hall of Fame quarterback who led the Chicago Bears to four NFL championships in the 1940s. But Luckman's story is more than just about football. He was also a key figure in the rise of organized crime in Chicago.

In his new book, **Sid Luckman, Murder Inc., and the Rise of the Modern NFL**, author David M. Nelson tells the untold story of Luckman's connection to the mob. Nelson draws on extensive research, including interviews with Luckman's family and friends, to paint a vivid picture of Luckman's life and times.

The book begins with Luckman's early life in Brooklyn. Luckman was a talented athlete from a young age, and he quickly rose through the ranks of the local football scene. In 1939, he signed with the Chicago Bears, and he quickly became one of the best quarterbacks in the game.

Luckman's success on the field was matched by his success off the field. He was a charismatic and well-liked figure, and he quickly became a fan favorite in Chicago. But Luckman also had a dark side. He was a heavy drinker and gambler, and he was known to associate with some unsavory characters.

In the early 1940s, Luckman became involved with Murder Inc., a notorious organized crime syndicate that was based in Chicago. Luckman was never charged with any crimes, but there is evidence that he helped the mob launder money and fix games.

Luckman's connection to the mob eventually led to his downfall. In 1946, he was suspended from the NFL for betting on games. Luckman never played in the NFL again, but he remained a popular figure in Chicago until his death in 1998.

**Sid Luckman, Murder Inc., and the Rise of the Modern NFL** is a fascinating and well-researched book that sheds new light on one of the most iconic figures in NFL history. Nelson's book is a must-read for any fan of football or true crime.
