Book excerpt: In 1966, as the champions of the AFL and NFL prepared to play each other for the first time, Kansas City Chiefs–owner Lamar Hunt wrote the following to Commissioner Pete Rozelle: “I have kiddingly called [the championship game] the Super Bowl, which obviously can be improved upon.” How wrong Hunt was. After the AFL merged with the NFL, “Super Bowl” became the official title of the NFL championship game in the years to come. In celebration of the first fifty Super Bowls, David Fischer traces its evolution from a game that didn’t sell out in 1967 to a worldwide phenomenon with a viewership in the hundreds of millions. Packed with dozens of arresting full-color illustrations—highlighting game action, memorabilia, and players and coaches—The Super Bowl includes sections on the greatest games, individual performances, and game-changing plays. Fischer explores unique Super Bowl angles as well, including a ranking of “The Best Who Never Won” and “The Best Who Never Lost,” along with perspectives from players and fans. He covers the action, the heroes, the strategy, and the records from half a century of championship football.

Book excerpt: It’s difficult to imagine today—when the Super Bowl has virtually become a national holiday and the National Football League is the country’s dominant sports entity—but pro football was once a ramshackle afterthought on the margins of the American sports landscape. In the span of a single generation in postwar America, the game charted an extraordinary rise in popularity, becoming a smartly managed, keenly marketed sports entertainment colossus whose action is ideally suited to television and whose sensibilities perfectly fit the modern age. America’s Game traces pro football’s grand transformation, from the World War II years, when the NFL was fighting for its very existence, to the turbulent 1980s and 1990s, when labor disputes and off-field scandals shook the game to its core, and up to the sport’s present-day preeminence. A thoroughly entertaining account of the entire universe of professional football, from locker room to boardroom, from playing field to press box, this is an essential book for any fan of America’s favorite sport.

Book Synopsis Super Bowl & NFL Championship Seasons by : Brian W Kelly

This book is written for those of us who love the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (TBB) and their great free home state of Florida. Those who dislike the Bucs for their own reasons, will also want this book, so they can try to get a leg up on the facts missing from the bookshelves of those TBB fans who do not have this book. The book first tells the story about the Bucs as the newest team in the National Football League from 1976 to Super Bowl LV. The main focus of this book is Bucs Championships and there are more games than most think. . We spend the time to tell the stories of all the Bucs championship games and the playoff games associated with winning championships. Most real NFL fans know that The Buccaneers, (often shortened to The Bucs, were established in 1976, and they posted what pundits have called for the ages an ignoble 0-14 record in their first season in the NFL. The team lost 26 games before it posted its first win. The NFL wasn't sure what to do with them but after playing their first season in the American Football Conference (AFC) named after the old AFL, the Bucs moved to their current Conference (NFC) in 1977. Life did not change to greatness for TBB for a few more years. Eventually all of the activity in college football built-up in the 1920's to the beginning of the National Football League and of course the American Football League (AFL) in 1960. Another league expansion brought in the Buccaneers in 1976. Hugh Culverhouse, a successful Florida Tax Lawyer and broker gained the franchise. He hired USC's successful coach, John McKay as the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he held the reins until 1984. McKay got his team to the playoffs a number of times after a slow start. Those great games are retold in this book.John McKay brought the team to its first win v the New Orleans Saints. And two years later they sported a 10-6 record and actually won their division and played in their first major championship game in 1979. You will learn that McKay was a great choice, He had achieved major success at the University of California with four national championships in his 16 years there. Coach McKay is responsible for orchestrating the building process that led to the Buccaneers stunning early success.This book captures the great games, championship seasons, and almost championship in Buccaneers Football and to tell a good story, we briefly look at each of the 45 seasons to help the reader roll from one championship to another without wondering what year it happened in. This Bucs first book takes the reader through short stories about their 12 coaches and about 45 seasons worth of great football (708 games with 278 great wins. The Bucs picked up their first NFL Championship (Super Bowl) with John Gruden and won Super Bowl XXXVII with a convincing 48-21 win. Of course we all know about 2020's Championship and Super Bowl victory as the Bucs have come of age with Tom Brady as their new MVP. Even before then, the chiefs were winning post season games. That is what this book is about. And, so now, I dare you to pick up this book for, if you are a Bucs fan, and you will never put it down again. You cannot ever get enough of the Bucs greatness, but we do provide as many stories together in one spot as we can in this can't miss book.

Book Synopsis Chuck Noll by : Michael MacCambridge
Download or read book Chuck Noll written by Michael MacCambridge and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chuck Noll won four Super Bowls and presided over one of the greatest football dynasties in history, the Pittsburgh Steelers of the ‘70s. Later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, his achievements as a competitor and a coach are the stuff of legend. But Noll always remained an intensely private and introspective man, never revealing much of himself as a person or as a coach, not even to the players and fans who revered him. Chuck Noll did not need a dramatic public profile to be the catalyst for one of the greatest transformations in sports history. In the nearly four decades before he was hired, the Pittsburgh Steelers were the least successful team in professional football, never winning so much as a division title. After Noll’s arrival, his quiet but steely leadership quickly remolded the team into the most accomplished in the history of professional football. And what he built endured well beyond his time with the Steelers – who have remained one of America’s great NFL teams, accumulating a total of six Super Bowls, eight AFC championships, and dozens of division titles and playoff berths. In this penetrating biography, based on deep research and hundreds of interviews, Michael MacCambridge takes the measure of the man, painting an intimate portrait of one of the most important figures in American football history. He traces Noll’s journey from a Depression-era childhood in Cleveland, where he first played the game in a fully integrated neighborhood league led by an African-American coach and then seriously pursued the sport through high school and college. Eventually, Noll played both defensive and offensive positions professionally for the Browns, before discovering that his true calling was coaching. MacCambridge reveals that Noll secretly struggled with and overcame epilepsy to build the career that earned him his place as “the Emperor” of Pittsburgh during the Steelers’ dynastic run in the 1970s, while in his final years, he battled Alzheimer’s in the shelter of his caring and protective family. Noll’s impact went well beyond one football team. When he arrived, the city of steel was facing a deep crisis, as the dramatic decline of Pittsburgh’s lifeblood industry traumatized an entire generation. “Losing,” Noll said on his first day on the job, “has nothing to do with geography.” Through his calm, confident leadership of the Steelers and the success they achieved, the people of Pittsburgh came to believe that winning was possible, and their recovery of confidence owed a lot to the Steeler’s new coach. The famous urban renaissance that followed can only be understood by grasping what Noll and his team meant to the people of the city. The man Pittsburghers could never fully know helped them see themselves better. Chuck Noll: His Life’s Work tells the story of a private man in a very public job. It explores the family ties that built his character, the challenges that defined his course, and the love story that shaped his life. By understanding the man himself, we can at last clearly see Noll’s profound influence on the city, players, coaches, and game he loved. They are all, in a real sense, heirs to the football team Chuck Noll built.
