Book Synopsis The Team That Changed the NFL Forever by : Rick Van Blair
Download or read book The Team That Changed the NFL Forever written by Rick Van Blair and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-06-11 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Football League commissioner Bert Bell worked and dreamed that one day the NFL would have the same status as major league baseball. With the move of owner Daniel Reeves' Cleveland Rams to Los Angeles in 1946, that dream was set in motion. Reeves took risks and broke barriers that no other NFL owner ever did. He set up a scouting system, not just of big-time colleges, but one that would scout players from small colleges and all Black schools. By the mid-1950s other NFL teams copied the Rams' scouting system. In 1949, Reeves also hired an offensive genius, coach Clark Shaughnessy, to bring in his revamped T-Formation that passed on any down with three receivers or more on every play and made the 1949-1955 Rams the most exciting team in the NFL. Reeves was the first owner to sign a television contract to televise all home games and not lose money, which opened up television to other NFL teams leading to today's multi-million dollar TV contracts. He was the first owner to give the okay to team logos on helmets, with the Ram horns. He set up a free football for kids program. He set up a Rams product merchandise line consisting of T-shirts, drinking glasses, Rams caps, bobble-head dolls and more with the Rams logo. The Rams of Dan Reeves went to the NFL championship game in 1949, 1950, 1951, and 1955, and just missed in 1952. The stage was set for the other NFL teams to follow what the Rams did on and off the field or be left in the dust. Commissioner Bert Bell's dream came true. Thanks to Dan Reeves and his Rams, Bert Bell and others saw the National Football League pull even with baseball as America's number one and most popular sport. Before he died, Dan Reeves was voted into the NFL Hall of Fame.
Book Synopsis The Cleveland Rams by : James C. Sulecki
Download or read book The Cleveland Rams written by James C. Sulecki and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-10-24 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2016 the Rams left St. Louis for Los Angeles—having departed L.A. for St. Louis in 1995—and caused much heartbreak among fans. NFL teams are notorious for decamping to more profitable markets and the Rams’ history of opportunistic moves goes back to 1946, when they left Cleveland, their original hometown, where fans had cheered them to a championship a month earlier. The move to L.A. from Cleveland shocked the NFL and shook up its power structure. It also jolted the all-white league into reintegration, prepared the way for the Browns, and made the Rams the only NFL champs ever to have spent the following season in a different city. This is the story of how the Rams went from a home-grown Ohio team funded by local businessmen to the first major-league franchise on the West Coast, and how their departure jumpstarted a chain of events in Cleveland that continues to this day.

Download or read book Watch My Smoke written by Eric Dickerson and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His style was iconic, and vintage ‘80s: aviator goggles, Jheri curls, neck roll, boxy pads. Eric Dickerson is the greatest player in Los Angeles Rams history and the NFL’s single season record holder for most rushing yards. In 2019, Dickerson was named to the National Football League’s 100th Anniversary All-Time Team. With an elegant upright running style that produced some of football’s most-watched highlights, it was said he was so smooth you couldn’t hear his pads clack as he glided past you. But during his Hall of Fame career, his greatness was often overshadowed by his contentious disputes with Rams management about his contract. In the pre-free agency era, tensions over his exploitative contract often overshadowed his accomplishments. What’s his problem? went the familiar refrain from the media. Can’t he just shut up and run? It’s time to reexamine how Eric Dickerson was portrayed. For the first time, he’s telling his story. And he’s not holding anything back.

Download or read book Son of Bum written by Wade Phillips and published by Diversion Books. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Denver Broncos coach and Super Bowl champion recalls his life and lessons learned from his father, NFL coach Bum Phillips, in this football memoir. Decorated National Football League coach Wade Phillips demonstrates in loving detail how much of his success, on and off the field, he owes to his father. A beloved character in NFL history, Bum taught Wade how to have perspective on the game during tough times—and that “coaching isn’t bitching.” Wade has since passed these and other lessons down to his son, Wes Phillips, an NFL coach himself. Known for his homespun, plain-talking ways, Wade is a groundbreaking coach who has long believed in using support and camaraderie—instead of punishment and anger—to inspire his players. And though his defensive concepts are revolutionary, he would say they begin with common sense. Son of Bum is more than one man’s memoir—it’s a story of family and football and a father who inspired his son. “Having played for and against Wade Phillips, the first word that comes to my mind is respect. SON OF BUM is a great read about the Xs and Os from one of the greatest coaches in the league, as well as a loving tribute to the influence of family.”—Peyton Manning
Book Synopsis Breaking Down the 2018 L. A. Rams Offense by : Taylor Kolste
Download or read book Breaking Down the 2018 L. A. Rams Offense written by Taylor Kolste and published by . This book was released on 2019-02-06 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The turnaround of the Los Angeles Rams under head coach, Sean McVay, has been truly remarkable. The Rams went from 4-12 in 2016 with, statistically, the worst offense in the NFL in nearly every category to winning a NFC West championship at 11-5, while featuring one of the most dynamic offenses in the league the next season under McVay. In McVay's second season, the Rams again won the NFC West and made their 4th Super Bowl appearance in franchise history. The goal of this book is to take an in-depth look at the schemes that helped the Rams be successful in the 2018 season with the purpose being so that other coaches can learn and use that knowledge to increase their own teams' chances of success. While this book will focus on the Rams' scheme, it would be incomplete without discussing McVay's character and leadership that have helped him be successful as a coach, and the culture that he and his staff have created. The first chapter of this book will look at McVay's character and leadership and the Rams' culture based on the information available online. The rest of the book will then be dedicated to analyzing the Rams' offensive scheme.

Book Synopsis Black and Brown in Los Angeles by : Josh Kun
Download or read book Black and Brown in Los Angeles written by Josh Kun and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-10-25 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black and Brown in Los Angeles is a timely and wide-ranging, interdisciplinary foray into the complicated world of multiethnic Los Angeles. The first book to focus exclusively on the range of relationships and interactions between Latinas/os and African Americans in one of the most diverse cities in the United States, the book delivers supporting evidence that Los Angeles is a key place to study racial politics while also providing the basis for broader discussions of multiethnic America. Students, faculty, and interested readers will gain an understanding of the different forms of cultural borrowing and exchange that have shaped a terrain through which African Americans and Latinas/os cross paths, intersect, move in parallel tracks, and engage with a whole range of aspects of urban living. Tensions and shared intimacies are recurrent themes that emerge as the contributors seek to integrate artistic and cultural constructs with politics and economics in their goal of extending simple paradigms of conflict, cooperation, or coalition. The book features essays by historians, economists, and cultural and ethnic studies scholars, alongside contributions by photographers and journalists working in Los Angeles.
