Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even in their worst of seasons, the Philadelphia Eagles maintained their tradition of toughness. This toughness is exemplified by the greats who have put on the Eagles uniform-from legends like Chuck Bednarik and Steve Van Buren to modern-day heroes like Reggie White and Donovan McNabb.In Tales from the Eagles Sidelines, veteran football writer Gordon Forbes profiles the individuals who have thrilled Philadelphia fans since the team's inception in 1933 through its recent return to glory with McNabb at the helm. Forbes details how these men become legendary heroes, not only because of the championships they won but because of their hard-knocking style.They were relentless athletes playing in a city that has always appreciated hard, tough performers more than fancy steppers. And when the winter winds arrive and the Eagles are playing for something more than their paychecks, there is a wonderful love affair that spirals in the frosty air between the fans and their "iggles," as the team is called.Tales from the Eagles Sidelines recalls the great players and some of the not-so-great characters told in the form of flashbacks to another time. Some of the stories, like Vince Papale's Rocky-like adventures, are stirring to the soul. Others, like Fred Hill's courageous fight to save his leukemia-stricken daughter, sadden the mind. All of the individual tales, however, share a common bond. They are all about Eagles who wore the green, silver, and white and played in a very special city.

Book Tales From Behind The Steel Curtain  The Best Stories of the  79 Steelers

Download or read book Tales From Behind The Steel Curtain The Best Stories of the 79 Steelers written by Jim Wexell and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Immaculate Reception" may have started it all, but the 1979 Pittsburgh Steelers put the stamp on the modern era’s greatest sports dynasty. It’s not even a debate. No other National Football League team in the modern sports era—as defined by Nielson—won so much in so little time. The tag is sure to stay with the Steelers for a long, long time. Fans in Pittsburgh can thank NFL free agency, but only in part. They should really thank the ’79 Steelers for winning a fourth title when, really, the team should not have done so. The 1979 Steelers were not supposed to win a championship. The Steel Curtain was in decline, and the Houston Oilers were pounding on the door of the AFC. By the end of the season, of course, the banged-up Oilers were not to be feared, not with the San Diego Chargers gathering steam. In the NFC, the Dallas Cowboys could taste revenge, particularly after Steelers coach Chuck Noll had mocked them unmercifully following the previous year’s Super Bowl. However, the Steelers persevered. "We probably won it more on desire, football intellect," said Steelers defensive superstar "Mean" Joe Greene. Greene admitted that the defense was in decline. He even admitted his great career was in decline, but he never thought the end of the dynasty was near. Star quarterback Terry Bradshaw, on the other hand, with his career just taking off, knew the end was at hand, and after his greatest season, after his second of back-to-back Super Bowl Most Valuable Player awards, Bradshaw hinted at retirement. "I probably should have," he admits 25 years later. The 1979 season had exhausted Bradshaw, a topic he talks about in Tales from Behind the Steel Curtain. Greene also has plenty to say. So do their teammates and their coaches, not to mention the scouts, front office and support personnel, media, and fans. They all have tales to tell about the key season of one of the greatest dynasties the sports world has ever seen.

Book When Buffalo Sat Atop the Sports World

Download or read book When Buffalo Sat Atop the Sports World written by Sal Maiorana and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-04 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From generation to generation there are some things that never change in Buffalo, New York. Every winter is cold and miserable; there is no place on earth that has better chicken wings despite many pretenders to the throne; and the professional sports teams that are in many ways the lifeblood of Western New York break the hearts and crush the souls of a passionate fan base that, nonetheless, though all the disappointment remains loyal and supportive. Born in 1960, the NFL's Buffalo Bills have never won a Super Bowl. Born in 1970, the NHL's Buffalo Sabres have never won a Stanley Cup. And in their brief eight-year existence, the Buffalo Braves never won an NBA championship.But there was a time, fleeting as it was in the mid-1970's, when all three of Buffalo's teams were winning consistently, were in the championship conversation, and were led by nationally-recognized superstars and future Hall of Famers in their respective sport - O.J. Simpson of the Bills, Gilbert Perreault of the Sabres, and Bob McAdoo of the Braves.Buffalo was a city in decline in the mid-1970's with unemployment rising and the population falling in terrifying numbers. Neighborhoods were in disrepair, businesses were closing down, and the economy was on life support, but the one thing that helped the city cope were its sports teams.The Bills, Sabres and Braves provided an outlet as Rich Stadium and Memorial Auditorium were places where people could go to forget about it all and spend a few hours being entertained by exciting teams and players who made Buffalo proud in the face of all the struggles.This is a remembrance of what it was like for Buffalo fans between the fall of 1973 and the spring of 1976, which was truly the golden age of Buffalo sports.

Book The Road to the Horseshoe and Beyond  How a Small Town Athlete Benefited from Ohio State Football to Build a Life

Download or read book The Road to the Horseshoe and Beyond How a Small Town Athlete Benefited from Ohio State Football to Build a Life written by Dr Kern Phd and published by Amplify Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legendary stories about my dear friend Rex Kern abound. His heroics at Ohio State electrified crowds and inspired reverence from an entire generation of Buckeye fans. I was there as his competitor and teammate, confidante and friend, as well as his occasional partner in mischief. Our brotherhood was forged by a common purpose and an unforgettable championship run. Now Rex tells his story, and I was delighted to learn things about him that I didn't know even after more than fifty years of close friendship. He wrote this as a gift to his sons and grandchildren--to tell in his own words what it was really like--but it is a gift to all of us. From a barbershop in Lancaster to a prayer breakfast at the White House to a College Football Hall of Fame ceremony at the Waldorf Astoria--and to the many doctor's visits and surgeries in between--he walks us through a life always defined by humility, grace, and perseverance. His devotion to family, friendship, and faith in the midst of often debilitating pain is endlessly inspiring. Rex Kern is not just a football legend, he is a champion at everything that matters in life. -- Ron Maciejowski, Super Sub of the Super Sophs, OSU 1968-69-70
