Download or read book The Blood and Guts written by Tyler Dunne and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive guide to the real men of the gridiron: NFL tight ends. There is no profession in sports like the NFL tight end. None. You must mash 320-pound defensive ends in the run game. You must twist your torso at impossible angles to make acrobatic catches downfield in the pass game. You must have a certain element of crazy to you, too. The tight end is a blend of brain and brawn and bruises…so many bruises. BLOOD AND GUTS tracks the fascinating rise of this position one tight end at a time, from Mike Ditka and John Mackey in the '60s to Rob Gronkowski today. As much as football has changed over the years, there has always been one glorious constant: the tight end. None of this is by accident, either. There’s a reason all of these players were magnetically drawn to the position. In BLOOD AND GUTS, Tyler Dunne interviews the greatest tight ends ever, whose stories reveal why they were uniquely qualified to serve as the blood and the guts of football—the players keeping this sport alive and well. There’s a reason Mike Ditka epitomized true toughness in pro football through the 1960s. Ben Coates, the son of a World War II vet, put an entire childhood spent building roofs to use by smashing defenders in the open field. Tony Gonzalez matured from a kid terrified of bullies to an absolute beast terrifying defensive backs. His entire life, Jeremy Shockey has been hellbent on sticking it to anyone who doubts him. And from afar, a young “Gronk” idolized Shockey and took his approach to a whole new level. Here, great American tight ends share countless harrowing, never-before-told stories. One moment, a tight end (Gonzalez) nearly socks a coach in the eye. The next, a tight end (Shockey) is breaking the orbital bone of someone in a bar fight. There’s no one in sports like them. BLOOD AND GUTS brings them to life.
Download or read book Riddell Presents the Gridiron s Greatest Quarterbacks written by Jonathan Rand and published by Sports Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2004 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NFL coaches love to say that quarterbacks always get too much credit for winning or too much blame for losing. Football fans know better. The great quarterbacks are difference makers. They make the split-second decisions that produce big plays, elevate their teammates, and lead the way to Super Bowl glory. The great quarterback is, in short, the most irreplaceable player on the field. The San Francisco 49ers could not have won their first four Super Bowls without Joe Montana, a genius at picking apart defenses and pulling out last-minute victories. The Pittsburgh Steelers would not have won four Super Bowls in six years without the powerful arm and irrepressible leadership of Terry Bradshaw. The New York Jets could never have pulled off the most famous NFL upset of all time, a Super Bowl III win over the Baltimore Colts, without the swagger and skill of Broadway Joe Namath. He guaranteed a victory, then made good on his guarantee. In Riddell Presents The Gridiron's Greatest Quarterbacks, fans will meet the legendary field generals who grace the annals of professional football. Author Jonathan Rand ranks the top 25 quarterbacks of all time and recalls the greatest triumphs, extraordinary talents, and powerful personalities that made them and their teams winners. From Sammy Baugh and Sid Luckman, who put the quarterback position on the map, to Bart Starr, John Unitas, Bradshaw. Montana, John Elway, Dan Marino and Brett Favre, these are players of diverse skills, sizes, and temperaments who each arrived at the destination of greatness. Rand also details the rise of the African-American quarterbacks, who overcame decades of racism and cynicism to make their mark, the trade secrets of thegreat comeback quarterbacks, and how it feels to get buried under enormous defensive players and be the most marked man on the field. Through the words of these great quarterbacks and their teammates, coaches and opponents, readers will gain an understanding as to why the gridiron's greatest quarterbacks and the gridiron's greatest players are so often the same people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travis Kelce is rewriting the record books and leaving an incredible mark on the NFL with each passing season. This star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs has already established himself as one of the greatest to ever play the position, but his story is far from over. Tight End Touchdown goes behind the scenes to chronicle Kelce's remarkable ongoing journey from an underdog who had to fight for every opportunity to a bonafide superstar and future Hall of Famer. Despite otherworldly athletic gifts, Travis had to overcome being underrated and overlooked coming out of Cleveland, Ohio. He shockingly went undrafted before getting a chance to prove himself with the Chiefs. But his unrelenting competitive fire and dedication to perfecting his craft could not be denied. Since those early struggles, Kelce has ascended to the upper stratosphere of individual dominance that few tight ends have ever reached. His rare blend of size, speed, strength, and hands make him virtually unguardable, as evidenced by his record-smashing receiving numbers year after year. Travis doesn't just rewrite the tight end record books, he obliterates decades-old archaic expectations for what's possible at his position in today's pass-happy NFL. No scheme or elite defender has consistently solved his unique physical prowess combined with elite mental mastery of the game. Season after season, he piles up achievements, awards, and milestones unlike anything his position has seen before - leading the NFL in receiving multiple times, earning Offensive Player of the Year honors, and even capturing an MVP award. His prowess goes beyond just video game stats. He's a generational talent who raises his game to cosmic levels for championship moments. Travis routinely authors legendary performances in the highest-leverage situations to lead the Chiefs to victories when everything is on the line. Tight End Touchdown provides an unprecedented look at Kelce's intense competitive psyche and lifelong evolution as he continues to solidify his immortal legacy. From shattering obstacles as an overlooked prospect to his ongoing pursuit of solidifying his greatness, this book pulls no punches. You'll go inside the making of an icon who kicked down every door and defied every expectation through his relentless mental obsession with being the absolute best. Travis' inspirational story will motivate you to chase your wildest dreams without any limitations. With no clear end in sight to his historic run of dominance, Tight End Touchdown celebrates an athlete who makes the impossible seem routine each week he steps onto the field.
