With a 17-point lead and just minutes to go Rick provided what was arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL. Overnight he became a national laughingstock and of course was immediately cut by the Browns and shunned by all other teams. But all Rick knows is football and he insists that his agent Arnie find a team that needs him. Against enormous odds Arnie finally locates just such a team and informs Rick that miraculously he can in fact now be a starting quarterback. Great says Rick-for which team The mighty Panthers of Parma Italy.

Michael Strahan is one of the NFL's most talented players and he is also one of the game's most vocal personalities. So it's no surprise that his first book would be a no-holds-barred hard-hitting account of life in the league venturing into territory no previous football authors had the nerve to tread.

Synopsis: A behind-the-plays and beyond-the-statistics look at football from CBS NFL analyst and former football star Phil Simms. Publishers Weekly: Former New York Giants quarterback Simms draws on his outstanding NFL career and his current role as a CBS analyst to gamely dissect TV's overly simple glib analyses-including Simms's own. Written with NFL national editor Carucci the book uses the same recipe that has made Simms one of the NFL's top broadcasters: an easy conversational tone with a healthy dose of insight from Simms's experience. Are "mobile quarterbacks" always better What's a "player's coach" What's the "West Coast offense" These are just a few of the subjects Simms explores as he both explains and lets the air out of some of the most popular made-for-TV football clich s. What sets the book apart however are the many personal anecdotes Simms offers in which he shares his unique perspective on key moments of great games and some of the NFL's most intriguing personalities such as coaches Bill Parcells and Bill Belichik. The iconic Parcells Simms's coach in New York with whom Simms won two championships gets a whole chapter and the book brims with examples of Parcells's impact on Simms as a quarterback an analyst and a person. Another chapter helps readers see the difference between good and great. This is a good book from a great football mind. Agent Basil Kane. Nov. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information. Biography: Phil Simms led the New York Giants to two Super Bowl championships and owns nineteen team records. After retiring in 1993 with fifteen NFL seasons under his belt Simms has become part of CBS's top play-calling team. He lives in New Jersey. HarperCollins Hardcover‎

From Publishers Weekly At the outset when the former Washington Redskins quarterback is expressing his anger over the failure of his coach Joe Gibbs to visit him in the hospital after his career-ending injury and blasting Gibbs as callous and unfeeling it begins to look as if readers will get a sports book that is really candid. Such is not the case however except when the ex-grid star is writing about himself his inability to hold his tongue when a young player and his serious gambling habit. He tells of his consuming childhood ambition to be a quarterback his success at Notre Dame his years in Canadian football his frustrating early years with the Redskins when he was principally a punt returner and finally his triumphs in leading his team to two Super Bowls. Thus he and Atlanta Journal and Constitution columnist Kindred have assembled a rather conventional sports autobiography. Photos not seen by PW. Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information Inc.

‎Saint Bobby and the Barbarians: The Inside Story of a Tumultuous Season with the Florida State Seminoles‎

‎New York New York U.S.A.: Doubleday 1992. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Illustrated with photos. Tight spine - Bright pages. 375 pages - Saint Bobby and the Barbarians is the compelling story of a year in the life of a legendary coach and a leading college football team as well as the first truly inside look at big-time college football. With the complete cooperation of Bowden himself author Ben Brown's unprecedented access to all aspects of the FSU program has helped him create an intimate portrait of how a top college coach steers his athletes and associates through the perils of a competitive schedule. Bobby Bowden - who turned the Seminoles into one of the best teams in the nation without a hint of the scandal that plagues so many other programs - preferred the role of underdog for motivating his troops. How would he keep his favored team psyched for the less challenging competitors How far could he push young players who must balance schoolwork against their pro ambitions and must often play with excruciating physical pain What could Bowden do to insulate them from the pressure of demanding fans and boosters In week twelve of the season the No. 1-rated Seminoles hosted arch rival Miami for what some writers were calling the Game of the Century. But a loss in the game's closing seconds dashed the hopes of Seminoles players and coaches alike. By season's end star quarterback Casey Weldon would forfeit any reasonable chance he might have had to win the Heisman Trophy; star running back Amp Lee would face academic expulsion; Eric Turral would be suspended from the squad for skipping practice; and offensive tackle Kevin Mancini would fight a potentially career-ending knee injury. Bobby Bowden's early fear would turn out to have been more than justified. As an intimate journey into the mind of Coach Bowden himself Saint Bobby and the Barbarians is much more than the anatomy of a season. It is an insightful look at the impact today's top college sports teams can have on all whose lives they touch. Doubleday Hardcover‎

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

Illustrated with photos. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Tight spine - Bright 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.

Illustrated with photos. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine - Bright pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Millions of Americans see Mike Ditka as the most competitive man on earth. The National Football League's most controversial intimidating and charismatic coach Ditka is an intense monster of a man who embodies not only Chicago and its Bears but the American Dream. With the Bears' bizarre 1991 season as a backdrop award-winning sports journalist Armen Keteyian unearths the Mike Ditka that fans never see - drawing on over two hundred interviews with Ditka's current players among them Jim Harbaugh Mike Singletary and Kevin Butler friends classmates former teammates business associates and family members including a rare interview with his father. For the first time Ditka's image is stripped away to reveal the successes - and failures - resulting from his life-long obsession with winning. Ditka the coach: He's the winningest NFL coach of the 1980s - one hundred and one regular season triumphs in ten years. His crowning achievement was capturing Super Bowl XX with a team led by Jim McMahon Walter Payton and William "The Refrigerator" Perry a team poised to become a dynasty. Ditka the father: He's a philanthropist and fund-raiser who's raised millions of dollars for disabled children yet has rarely connected with his own kids. Ditka the businessman: He's made millions of dollars yet still suffered staggering losses leaving a trail of failed enterprises. Ditka the man: He owns antique cars and collects fine wines. His estimated income is more than five million dollars a year. Despite his wealth he boasts of being a "common man" but when common men question or criticize his decisions he dismisses them as "losers in life.$100-a-week guys." Keteyian shows how Ditka's personality was forged in a Pennsylvania steel mill town by a doting mother and a distant father who considered praise a poison. Dreading a life in the mills Ditka used football as his ticket out. He won the Rookie of the Year award with the Bears in 1961 and until this year was th. Pocket Books Hardcover‎
