VIDEO: 100th birthday tribute to Virginia Halas McCaskey

Virginia Halas McCaskey, the matriarch of the Chicago Bears, is celebrating her 100th birthday today. It's a milestone that puts so much into perspective.

With Chicago already eliminated from the playoffs, Sunday's home game against the Minnesota Vikings marks the conclusion of McCaskey's 40th season at the helm. This term makes her the longest-tenured owner in the league. Pretty remarkable, especially considering she wasn't initially groomed to inherit the team.

Mrs. McCaskey was born on Jan. 5, 1923, less than three years after her father founded the Bears as the Decatur Staleys and helped create what would become the NFL. As a toddler, she accompanied her dad and the team during the Red Grange barnstorming tour in 1925-26. In 1932, Mrs. McCaskey attended the NFL's first indoor game, watching the Bears capture the league championship by blanking the Portsmouth Spartans 9-0 at the Chicago Stadium.
