Book excerpt: “No football fan will want to miss this one.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY “A searing character study…a breathless, can’t-put-it-down read.” —LOS ANGELES TIMES “As savvy, dirt-dishing expose.” —KIRKUS REVIEWS From nationally-acclaimed journalist and ESPN commentator Skip Bayless, the newly updated eBook edition of the classic bestseller GOD'S COACH. First published in 1990, this unforgettable expose tears the metallic blue shine off the legendary star, revealing the truth about ‘America’s Team’ and its beloved head coach Tom Landry, whose much-regaled Christian charity extended to strangers everywhere, yet stopped short of the team who labored under him. From the hangover that led Jerry Jones to buy the team, to the wild ride of the Staubach era, Bayless strips away the image of the team created by the most powerful PR machine in sports, revealed by insiders willing to break their silence. Packed with unparalleled insight into one of the most storied franchises in the history of sports, GOD'S COACH is a compelling revelation about a corrupt football franchise that dared call itself America’s Team. Skip Bayless appears daily as the host of ESPN’s First Take; his commentary appears regularly on ESPN.com. A former columnist for the Dallas Morning News, DALLAS TIMES HERALD, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, and SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS, and sportswriter for the LOS ANGELES TIMES and MIAMI HERALD. In addition to GOD'S COACH, he is the author of THE BOYS and HELL-BENT.

Download or read book Tom Landry and Bill Walsh written by John Lawson, III. and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shotgun formation. The West Coast Offense. The 4-3 defense. We expect to see these things when we watch football, but without Tom Landry and Bill Walsh, it's possible we wouldn't see any of that. This is the story of how two independent thinkers molded football in general -- and championship football in particular. And they didn't just change the sport's Xs and Os; they changed its style. The story of their combined influence is unusual because neither man's ideas seriously affected the other's. This story also is the tale of many football greats: Joe Montana, Roger Staubach, Jerry Rice, Tony Dorsett, Ronnie Lott, Bob Lilly, Roger Craig, Ed "Too Tall" Jones and numerous others. What's more, the story of these coaches is one of great opponents: Dan Marino, Fran Tarkenton, Don Shula, Chuck Noll, Mike Ditka and Lawrence Taylor, to name a few. Most of all, this is the story of two icons: Landry, the cerebral, stoic, impeccably-dressed engineer, and Walsh, the creative, professorial, somewhat sensitive artiste. Their greatest moments rank among football's seminal moments. Fittingly, each coach's most famous play was a pass. For Landry, it was the Hail Mary that beat the Vikings in the 1975 playoffs. And for Walsh, it was, of course, The Catch, which came at the expense of the Landry Cowboys. These stories and many others comprise the larger narrative of how these men shaped the game we see today. PRAISE FOR TOM LANDRY AND BILL WALSH FROM GADY EPSTEIN, STAFF WRITER, THE ECONOMIST... Lawson "knows more about those two coaches and their teams than any sane human being does (or should)...trust me when I say John is an entertaining writer...Buy the book!" PRAISE FOR TOM LANDRY AND BILL WALSH FROM CHARLES GAY, DEPUTY MANAGING EDITOR, THE ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION..."TOM LANDRY AND BILL WALSH is a feast for serious NFL fans, tracing the game's dramatic evolution in a deeply intelligent and analytical style. Lawson layers his story with context and detail while never losing sight of the broader theme: innovation. The book manages to do all that while being a damned enjoyable read. If you love pro football, TOM LANDRY AND BILL WALSH is a must for your reading list."

Download or read book Living the Dream on America s Team written by Larry Cole and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-01-20 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Larry Cole was an NFL player who played for the Dallas Cowboys from 1968 to 1981. He played during an exciting era of professional football. Joe Namath won the Super Bowl his rookie year. Monday Night Football started a couple of years later to sellout crowds where each city highlighted what made them different from other cities. He played in five Super Bowls at three different positions. He shares with you his childhood and high schools years. Then he shares his experiences on through college, including a stint at the United States Air Force Academy. This would prepare him to compete in the NFL. He wrote this book for the purpose of sharing with you how he discovered his own unique talents to compete on and off the field. He started his building and development business during the off-season to provide a smooth transition to his life after football. He played thirteen years for the same coach, Tom Landry, and the same defensive line coach, Ernie Stautner. He played one year with Don Meredith at quarterback, all of Roger Staubach's eleven years, including six of Craig Morton's years competing with him, and one year with Danny White at the helm. He was part of "Doomsday I" and "Doomsday II." He gives you insights on how each year was different and how Tom Landry was able to put together so many years as a perennial playoff contender. When this author retired, he had played in twenty-six playoff games, an NFL record at that time.
Download or read book The Boys written by Skip Bayless and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To all outside appearances, the Dallas Cowboys' rise to glory in Super Bowl XXVII was a seamless Cinderella story. The heroes were not so much the players as the two best friends from the University of Arkansas, owner Jerry Jones and coach Jimmy Johnson, who brought the team from a 1-15 disaster in 1989 to the NFL pinnacle in just three short years. They'd spent a lifetime planning this moment, the story went; the brash, impulsive owner and the always-in-control, not-a-hair-out-of-place coach worked together in beautiful harmony, fulfilling the dream they'd hatched as roommates in their football-playing youth." "Such stories are usually too good to be true. So was this one." "The Boys is the real story behind the easy-to-swallow fable. The main features of the relationship between Jones and Johnson are tension on the part of Johnson, whose occasional black moods and bursts of temper are often triggered by Jones's intrusions in football matters; and manipulation on the part of Jones, who sees "coaching the coach" as the key to success in the NFL. The JJs clashed over budget constraints, the size of the staff, the pace of player signings, key player acquisitions, and credit for successful deals. Their disagreements disturbed the team's equilibrium, as the assistant coaches and coordinators watched their head coach lose his focus and boil over about matters that had nothing to do with winning on the field. Johnson's anger could cast a dark cloud over the team, and did so just when they were playing their best football down the stretch and into the playoffs." "The Boys is also the untold story of the men whose contributions often got lost in the public focus on the JJs: coordinators Dave Wannstedt and Norv Turner, whose game plans did a masterful job of exploiting the strengths and hiding the weaknesses of a still-developing team; guard Nate Newton, unofficial team spokesman and class clown, playing on a knee nearly ground to sawdust by his offseason bulk, inspiring his younger teammates with a Pro Bowl season; defensive end Charles Haley, a critical piece of the puzzle acquired in a late-summer trade, but a difficult and volatile presence in the locker room; and quarterback Troy Aikman, never able to get over the feeling that Johnson didn't trust him, but the key figure in the season as he took on a forceful leadership role after a Johnson explosion left the team shaken and unsure of itself." "With piercing insight and eye-opening detail, Skip Bayless takes us behind the scenes and gives us the real lowdown on what went on in a season more turbulent than anyone could have guessed from the outside. The Boys is a penetrating, in-depth account of a season of triumph, as well as a myth-free, clear-eyed portrait of the men who made it happen."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
