The National Football League is the most popular sports league in the United States. Its championship game, the Super Bowl, is watched by millions of people every year.

The stories of the greatest players, the most successful coaches, the most memorable games—and the amazing plays that made us gasp as we watched them in stadiums and on televisions all over America. Discover the league’s scrappy beginnings in an automobile showroom, and early players like Red Grange, the Galloping Ghost. Relive the very first championship game, played indoors after a circus had visited, and famous games like the Ice Bowl. See the NFL at war, and meet some of the remarkable athletes who helped desegregate the league. Learn how the draft came into existence, and about the teams that strove for that almost impossible goal—a perfect season. Veteran sportswriter Fred Bowen brings his in-depth knowledge and lively prose to these fascinating stories, and award-winning artist James E. Ransome has created stunning full-page illustrations that bring the sport of football to life like never before.
Download or read book Pain Gang written by Neil Reynolds and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No sport demands toughness more than professional football, and no sport celebrates it with as much joy, excitement, and pride. John Madden annually offers his picks of the top tough guys, and sick hits are shown repeatedly on jumbotrons nationwide and ESPN's Sportscenter. Anyone who's ever watched an NFL Films production can surely hear "the voice"--that distinctive narrator--lauding the warriors of the gridiron who lay it all out there. Imagine his voice as you say: "These tough men came to do battle today, and only the fiercest will win." Into this atmosphere comes Neil Reynolds, public relations manager for the NFL in Europe, and his new book Pain Gang: Pro Football's Fifty Toughest Players. From early day heroes, such as Bronko Nagurski, Clark Hinkle, and Frank "Bruiser" Kinard, to Hall of Famers like Ronnie Lott, Walter Payton, and Dick Butkus, to such modern-day iron men as Emmitt Smith, Brett Favre, and Rodney Harrison, Reynolds lauds some of the toughest, meanest, most inspirational, and hardest-working men in the roughest sport. He includes interviews with teammates, coaches, opponents, and the players themselves on what it means to be tough, how they characterize toughness, and even who was the toughest of them all. Some players fought through broken bones and tired bodies. Others laid out opponents with the hardest of hits. Still others proved themselves on the battlefields of World War II before joining this secondary field of battle. And some played hard and fast--mostly within the rules--in order to intimidate their opponents through sheer fear. Whatever their means, these guys were tough and knew it--and they made sure everyone else did as well. Meet the Pain Gang, and you'll know it too.

Download or read book None Yards written by Tom Danyluk and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Madden, the churning, eruptive Oakland Raiders head coach, quit the sideline for good in early 1979. By the winter of '81, he had become pro football's premier TV analyst in a dazzling, rocketing shot to the top. For nearly three decades, he remained there. Former NBC announcer Charlie Jones once said, "John Madden is one of those people who has IT, whatever IT is. That extra star- quality within their profession. You know it when you see it. Tom Cruise has IT. John Elway has IT. So does John Madden." For Madden, IT was the ability to deliver pro football to his audience in a widely consumable style. From the CEO to the car mechanic, his message was embraced. To the complex, he injected simplicity; to the obvious, he identified technique; to the combatants in uniform, he added warmth and levity. This book, however, is no treatise on the Madden style, or some draining dissection of his popularity. It's simply a collection of quotes, the things he said along the way. His words and critiques and opinions, from the rise of the Walsh 49ers through the Aikman-Irvin-Smith Cowboys to the brilliance of Brady/Manning. Thirty years of oral history. It's Madden on football, as he witnessed it live.
