Download or read book Johnny Football written by Mike Shropshire and published by MVP Books. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inside look at one of today’s most compelling athletes and his influence on college football—in Texas and across the nation. It’s no secret that Texas is the capital of legendary football players. From Sammy Baugh to Earl Campbell to Robert Griffin III and scores of others in between, the Lone Star State has produced a heavily decorated list of athletic phenoms—but none has put on a display as explosive and as sudden as that of the kid they call “Johnny Football.” In Johnny Football, Texas sportswriter Mike Shropshire recounts Johnny Manziel’s extraordinary freshman season with Texas A&M in 2012—during which his unparalleled breakout performance made him the first freshman to ever win the illustrious Heisman Trophy—and follows Manziel and the rest of the Aggie squad through the much-hyped 2013 gridiron campaign. In Shropshire’s signature witty, entertaining writing style, the book tells the complete story of an unlikely star who came out of rural obscurity to lead the Aggies to a top-ten ranking in the national polls in 2012 and a victory in the postseason Cotton Bowl. But make no mistake: the tale of “Johnny Football” is larger and deeper than that of one star player. It is the narrative of how a kid from nowhere, with his country-boy values, restored vigor and pride to the Spirit of Aggieland (Gig ’Em!), and this celebration of the A&M faithful and Texas’ gridiron fanaticism is sure to make Johnny Football a treasured tale for years to come.

Download or read book Football Flyboy written by Lisa Reinicke and published by Bublish, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-04-18 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does a good man’s life end at his death? The answer for daughter Lisa Reinicke was, “No.” Her father was known by many names: Buster, Bill, Billy, Dad, and the Football Flyboy. His deeds, no matter how small, should be passed down to family, friends, and anyone looking for inspiration, and life-lessons from one who worked, lived and part of the Greatest Generation. The Football Flyboy was young, newlywed and a pilot in WWII. He was a good man. One weekend morning, she determined that his spirit should not stay silent just because his mouth could no longer speak words. “I open my dad’s old air force footlocker - still solid, battleship grey, weathered, and a little rough from travel and age. His name is in white lettering on the front: First Lt William R Cannon.”​ What she discovered were yellowed envelopes bound in twine - hundreds of them - that her father had written to her mother. Letters written daily during the last year of WWII and received by his bride. Her daily letters disappeared - only three times during the year, did the “mailman” catch up with him and teased with just a few of the hundreds. “Before reaching inside, there was a feeling of the hands of time grabbing onto my heart, knowing that this was such a huge part of not only his life but my mom’s as well.” Meet Bill “Buster” Cannon, the Football Flyboy ... a good man with a good life who made a difference.

Download or read book The Jukebox of Life written by George L. Wallace-Barnhill Ph.D. and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir was written because it has been in my head for most of my adult life. All of my hopes and dreams and fears were secrets. When I finally realized this, they had to come out, and I began to write. Some of this started in 1977 when I worked as an assistant professor in anesthesia and surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, FL, which is where, more importantly, I spent more than four months with my 31-year-old brother in an intensive care unit before he died from a car accident. While with him, he taught me much about life’s sudden and tragic consequences. Years later, I had the opportunity to give a presentation about what I would say if I only had 30 minutes to live as part of a “Last Lecture Series” at Nova Southeastern University, where I was also teaching. Through this opportunity I began to confront many of my life’s unresolved issues that I had hidden from myself because I could not cope or did not want to understand them. At this pivotal moment, I realized that when I was three years old, my sense of my place in my family had been from the outside looking in; it was if I did not belong. I realized that I had struggled with the fear that my father, a World War II veteran, did not love me, but also wanted to get rid of me. Never gaining his approval or love completely disconnected me from my parents, my brother and two sisters for 15 years. Family separation and dysfunction were followed in later years by the death of my brother and by being rejected for marriage several times by the only woman I thought that I truly loved – creating unrelenting cycles of loss, devastation and recovery. This memoir is not a continuous narrative but rather a series of vignettes that describe my life stories both anecdotally and allegorically. Other stories describe how I competed to become a world-class hurdler in the Olympic trials of 1964 and gave me an independent identity; how working with schizophrenic patients at Philadelphia State Hospital gave me a sense of my calling; how earning my Ph.D. reinforced the value of my intelligence; how working in the Jackson Memorial Hospital intensive care unit gave me a sense of purpose, respect and humility; and how by asking the woman who rejected my first marriage proposal finally after two more proposals married me 14 years later. Each story stands alone. The title of this memoir emphasizes the idea that, like a jukebox, life is about choices. As each jukebox selection is separate but part of a whole, each decision has its own set of consequences – both negative and positive. This is a personal journey with many beginnings and endings.
