‎Monster of the Midway: Bronko Nagurski the 1943 Chicago Bears and the Greatest Comeback Ever‎

‎New York New York U.S.A.: St. Martin's Press 2003. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Stated First Edition. Illustrated with photos. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Tight spine - clean pages. 304 pages. - Jim Dent's Monster of the Midway is the story of football's fiercest competitor the legendary Bronko Nagurski. From his discovery in the middle of a Minnesota field to his 1943 comeback season at Wrigley from the University of Minnesota to the Hall of Fame Bronko Nagurksi's life is a story of grit hard work passion and above all an unstoppable drive to win. Monster of the Midway recounts Nagurski's unparalleled triumphs during the 1930s and '40s when the Chicago Bears were the kings of professional football. From 1930 the Bronk's first year through 1943 his last the Bears won five NFL titles and played in four other NFL Championship Games. Focusing on Nagurski's 1943 comeback season and how he miraculously led the Bears to their fourth NFL championship against the backdrop of World War II era Chicago Jim Dent uncovers the riveting drama of Nagurski's playing days. His efforts were the stuff of legend and his success in 1943 accomplished in spite of a battered frame worn-out knees multiple cracked ribs and a broken bone in his lower back. While chronicling the drama of the '43 championship chase Dent also tells of both the Bears' colorful early years and Bronko's improbable rise to fame from the backwoods of northern Minnesota. Woven into the narrative are the sights and smells and sounds of one of the most romantic flavorful eras of the twentieth century. And laced through it all are stories of legend: Bronko rubbing shoulders with colorful characters like George Halas Red Grange Sid Luckman and Sammy Baugh; Bronko running into and breaking the brick wall at Wrigley Field; Bronko winning All-American spots for two positions; Bronko knocking scores of opponents unconscious; and Bronko reaching the heights of football glory and with rare grace turning his back on the game after winning his last championship. Rich in unforgettable stories and scenes this is Jim Dent's account of Bronko Nagurski-arguably the greatest football player who ever lived-and his teammates the roughest toughest rowdiest group of players ever to don leather helmets and the original Monsters of the Midway.

‎Vince: A Personal Biography of Vince Lombardi‎

‎New York New York U.S.A.: Quill 1989. Book. Fine. Trade Paperback. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine clean pages. 457 pages. NO writing or tears inside book. Tight spine clean pages. Published to widespread critical acclaim Vince has been called: "the definitive biography" of an American legend. With stunning revelations and anecdotes Vince Lombardi's life is pieced together with painstaking care in research detail and historical accuracy. Based on more than two hundred interviews including those who played with him and against him from his early coaching days at St. Cecilia High School in New Jersey to West Point the New York Giants and his championship seasons with the Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins. Drawing upon unpublished Lombardi family papers Vince clarifies the thirty years of mystery and contradiction that have swirled around the legend of Vince Lombardi. Vince goes beyond the sidelines to reveal the true character of Lombardi. He was dedicated and narrow intelligent and dogmatic self-restrained yet emotional abusive yet apologetic. His moods could swing from deep gloom to soaring exuberance in seconds. He was compassionate kind charitable. He could also be gripped by uncontrollable anger. Above all Vince paints a portrait of a very human man who committed his life to winning. Quill Paperback‎

‎The Boys: The Untold Story of the Dallas cowboys' Season on the Edge‎

‎Simon & Schuster 1993. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new book. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $23.00. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 320 pages. Illustrated. 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.

As head coach of the Houston Oilers Glanville staged an unusual publicity stunt: at out-of-town games he would leave tickets at the box office in the name of a local celebrity past or present--Elvis Presley in Memphis James Dean in Indianapolis Ind. Loni Anderson in Cincinnati Ohio. But that is the one entertaining story in this banal football autobiography written with freelance sportswriter Miller. Glanville began his career coaching high school teams moved up to the college ranks got to the pros in 1974 and served 10 years as an assistant coach in Detroit Atlanta Buffalo N.Y. and Houston. Named Oiler head coach in late 1985 he took the team to the playoffs three times before returning to the Atlanta Falcons as head coach. He favors a hard-hitting game which has embroiled him in feuds with fellow coaches Chuck Noll and Sam Wyche whom he discusses here along with players he likes and dislikes. Photos.

‎Third Down and a War to Go: The All-American 1942 Wisconsin Badgers‎

‎Wisconsin Historical Society 2005. Book. Near-Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Nice clean condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spien clean pages. Illustrated. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 260 pages. The 1942 Wisconsin Badgers football team had a host of individual stars including two-time All-American end Dave Schreiner fullback Pat Harder and halfback Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch. Their coach was the stubborn and respected Harry Stuhldreher best known as the one-time quarterback of Notre Dame's Four Horsemen. In the final-fling atmosphere typical on college campuses as the first year of U.S. involvement in World War II was winding down the Badgers climbed their way up the rankings and ultimately became one of the greatest college football teams of all time. Stars and benchwarmers alike knew that each game brought them closer to military service. The Badgers scattered into the various branches-and around the world-shortly after the season. Not all were asked to be heroic in battle but many were and they answered the challenge. Not all of them returned and the circumstances of at least one battle death have been shrouded in mystery for six decades. Wisconsin Historical Society Hardcover‎

NO writing marks or tears inside book. 240 pages. From Publishers Weekly While some people think that pro football is a game in which 22 65 285-pound behemoths crash into one another to move a ball a few yards Sports Illustrated reporter King argues otherwise. Players he maintains are highly intelligent especially the quarterbacks who must keep in mind dozens of maneuvers and be ready to change their calls within seconds if the opposing players alter their strategy. Cornerbacks special-teams players and those in certain other positions must combine brains with brawn speed and their teammates' abilities. The author here interviews N.F.L. stars Boomer Esiason Barry Sanders and Bruce Smith as well as winning Super Bowl coach Jimmy Johnson on the demands of the game. While not convincing in all particulars King's contention that football is a brainy sport stands up pretty well. First serial to USA Weekend. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information Inc.
