Ed DeBartolo’s son Ed Junior was the 49ers owner for several decades, during when they won five super bowls. Carmen Policy was his right hand man running the Niners back then. DeBartolo eventually was forced to give up his ownership of the team after he tried to bribe the governor of Louisiana for a casino license (if memory serves me correctly). He turned the team over to his sister Denise York, and now his nephew, Denise’s son, Jed York runs the team.

Policy eventually left the Niners to run the Cleveland Browns when they came back into the league for the 99 season. But eventually he either quit or got fired as the team was pretty bad.

I don’t know if Ed Senior was mobbed up when they were in Youngstown, does anyone know that history? I just know the football stuff.
I knew Ed Sr. and Jr. well. Both knew the local "guys" but certainly not mobbed up with any of them.
Thanks!

Well, I am not going to say yes or no about Sr., BUT Tony Lafatch and Ed Sr. were on Tony's Red Phone at his office daily about business in my presence.

Golly Gee :) The "Old Man" did "business" with lots of different fellows ;)
Rumor had it that Sr. was involved with a "Big Time" fellow and together they bought control of a bank in Florida.
