A players owner.
What a joke. Eddie was convicted of bribery for giving Fast Eddie Edwards of Louisiana big bucks for a riverboat gambling license. He had to yield control of the 49ers to his sister.
Take him out of the hall and museum, and put him back as owner of the Niners. Get the Niners out of the dumps.
Amen!

You may be too young to remember the name, “John Mackey”. He played tight end for the Baltimore Colts during Johnny U.s playing days. He died a few years ago from Parkinson’s/Alzheimer’s/brain damage.
He said in the late 60s, “NFL games are not won on the field. They are won in the front office”.
Very profound and years before its time.
Crime pays again for Youngstown’s finest.
You need to check your facts, because they aren’t true. He was never convicted. He plead guilty to B.S. charges. He never received any license. And he was never forced by the league to yield control to his sister. He was suspended by the league for one year. He was supposed to come back, but he decided not to. The league had nothing to do with it.
Hope it is true
Eddie D. was a great owner
The Yorks.....not so much.....another Jeb who is a disaster
His name is actually Jed, not Jeb.
“Crime pays again for Youngstown’s finest.”
Well,,,,, that’s what Youngstown is all about!
Eddie D was a most beloved owner, by the players and fans alike. I wish he was still in control of the team.
Yes, and Jed York makes that feeling stronger.

Thank you. Well deserved.
You missed the irony.
The Yorks don’t know how to spell. Their team stinks
“What a joke. Eddie was convicted of bribery for giving Fast Eddie Edwards of Louisiana big bucks for a riverboat gambling license. He had to yield control of the 49ers to his sister.”
Yeah, I lived in New Orleans when it became exposed that Bartolo was throwing bags of money into garbage bins so Edwards cronies could pick them up. Money was to ensure Bartolo’s company would get the last riverboat casino in the state.
He plea-dealed so he could be used to testify against Edwards so he could be thrown into the federal penitentiary.
Hall of Fame? should be hall of shame instead.
