To the chagrin of Kathleen, Rooney's pregnant wife, the Steelers' scion put a whopping $50,000 on the horse, and waited on the result. When Mara returned, he announced that Rooney's horse had indeed won the race.
Rooney, feeling bouyant because of his new windfall, announced that in return he would name his new baby Timothy (in honor of Mara) should it turn out to be a boy.
The baby Rooney was indeed a boy, and years later, Timothy J. Rooney's daughter, Kathleen Rooney, married a certain Chris Mara, another grandson of Tim Mara.
Chris Mara is the current Giants vice president of player evaluation.
The Mara/Rooney football family link was forever cemented with Kathleen Rooney's and Chris Mara's union, and the couple even injected some Hollywood aura into the football dynasties. Two of Kathleen and Chris' four children -- Kate and Patricia (also known as Rooney) -- are Hollywood stars, with Rooney Mara recently nominated for a best actress Oscar for her role in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."
With three (hopefully four come Sunday) Giants titles and six Steelers titles in the history books, the family hierarchy is certainly not lacking in bling.
