Cooper Rollow (1925 in Wichita, Kansas – March 29, 2013 in Elmhurst, Illinois) was an American sportswriter for 35 years as a writer and sports editor (1965–1977) for the Chicago Tribune, mostly on pro football. He was awarded the Dick McCann Memorial Award from the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985.[1]

He served as President of the Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA) (1983–84).[2]

Rollow was described by author Jeff Davis as "the leading journalist of his time concerning the relationship of [former Chicago Bears head coach and owner George] Halas and [Green Bay Packers head coach] Vince Lombardi."[3]
