Rooney still backs Maroons

The following was reported in the Pottsville Republican and Herald today:

At least one of the NFL owners still backs the Pottsville Maroons in the effort to restore the 1925 championship. Dan Rooney, owner and chairman of the Pittsburgh Steelers, told Staff Writer Ben Wolfgang today at the fall NFL owners meeting in Philadelphia that he still backs the Maroons. Wolfgang and Photo Editor Nick Meyer are attending the meetings today and also talked with New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, among others. We'll have coverage in tomorrow's edition of The REPUBLICAN & Herald and on REPUBLICANherald.com -- including video. This is getting good.
