		Rooney was a ballboy, sold tickets and program advertising and negotiated contracts even before he was 21; his father had to sign his name since Dan himself could not legally sign.

	Savant Review: Quicksand
		Rooney's Dan Brady is just smart enough to want 'more' - a better car, a more glamorous girlfriend - without realizing that he's not smart enough to control the consequences of his actions.
		Rooney and Lorre have a fight that is quite convincing; this is just when Lorre was beginning to put on weight, but he clearly gives it his all.
		Both she and the good samaritan (Taylor Holmes) who helps Dan (almost) out of his predicament seem too good to be true in the context; given the duplicity of most of the rest of the characters, it's a surprise when the samaritan turns out to be on the level.

	Member - Pro Football Hall of Fame
		Rooney, considered by many to be among the sports power elite, was the driving force behind many of the successes of the Pittsburgh franchise.

		Rooney is currently a member of the eight-person Management Council Executive Committee, the Hall of Fame Committee, the NFL Properties Executive Committee, and the Player/Club Operations Committee.

		Rooney plays Dan Brady, a garage mechanic whose life starts a very fast downward slide when he "borrows" twenty bucks from his boss's cash register so that he can take out blond dish Vera Novak Vera is played by Jeanne Cagney (Jimmy's sister) as the girl most likely to become a gangster's moll.
		Dan doesn't think it peculiar when he asks Vera what she wants to do on their date, and her idea of a good time is to run downtown, stand in front of a shop window and drool at a pre-PETA mink coat.
		Dan is in so far over his head from the get-go, and so inept at even the pettiest of crime, that every time he commits a crime to cover the last one, he's seen and subsequently flmailed into pulling a bigger crime.

		In the 27 months since NFL owners adopted the so-called Rooney Rule, which penalizes teams for not interviewing minorities for head coaching jobs, four of the 15 such openings were filled by fl candidates.
		The league's diversity committee, headed by Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney, issued a set of guidelines Dec. 9 that recommends teams interview either a minority or female candidate for all front office positions filled by persons outside of an organization, with an exemption for roles filled by family members of team owners.
		As Rooney alluded to, the guidelines for the hiring of coaches, which originally didn't have penalties attached, proved ineffective.
