Is NFL star Kurt Warner really the grandson of legendary coach "Pop" Warner?

Question

I have heard this rumor over and over. Does anyone know for sure?

Answer 1

I do not know

Answer 2

I don't think the ages match up quite right. Glenn "Pop" Warner was born in 1871 (died 1954). Kurtis E. "Kurt" Warner was born in 1971.

Typically, grandparents are 40-60 years older than their grandchildren (this isn't a rule, it's just a common norm; my Grandma was almost 70 when I was born).

That and they're from different parts of the country (Pop was from New Yoirk, Kurt is from Iowa).

Answer 3

I know wikipedia isn't the most accurate source of information but it doesn't state anything about it in here.

Answer 4

No. If he was you would have heard about it by now. ESPN would have mentioned it a million times by now, to the point that you'd be sick of hearing it.

Answer 5

Not true.

But Steve Young is a direct descendant of Brigham Young
