Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new NFL Centennial Edition A multi-billion-dollar entertainment empire, the National Football League is a coast-to-coast obsession that borders on religion and dominates our sports-mad culture. But today's NFL also provides a stage for playing out important issues roiling American society. The updated and expanded edition of NFL Football observes the league's centennial by following the NFL into the twenty-first century, where off-the-field concerns compete with touchdowns and goal line stands for headlines. Richard Crepeau delves into the history of the league and breaks down the new era with an in-depth look at the controversies and dramas swirling around pro football today: Tensions between players and Commissioner Roger Goodell over collusion, drug policies, and revenue; The firestorm surrounding Colin Kaepernick and protests of police violence and inequality; Andrew Luck and others choosing early retirement over the threat to their long-term health; Paul Tagliabue's role in covering up information on concussions; The Super Bowl's evolution into a national holiday. Authoritative and up to the minute, NFL Football continues the epic American success story.

Book excerpt: Unable to buy into an existing team and rebuffed by National Football League owners who had no desire to expand, 27-year-old Lamar Hunt, the son of Texas billionaire H.L. Hunt, formed the American Football League in 1959. He placed his team in Dallas, called them the Texans, and invited other young entrepreneurs to join him. The seven men who did called themselves members of the "Foolish Club," but on September 9, 1960, the AFL made its regular season debut and went on to change the face of football forever. Unlike the NFL, the American Football League featured wide open offenses and innovative coaching strategies, capturing a new generation of fans dedicated to the league and its players. The AFL aggressively pursued college stars--Heisman Trophy winner Billy Cannon in its inaugural season and Joe Namath in 1965. The eight teams signed a collective television agreement that split the money equally among the franchises, thus providing far more stability and balance than earlier start-up leagues. Based on interviews with owners, coaches, players, scouts, broadcasters and writers from the era, this is a colorful account of the AFL and its place in sports history.

Download or read book America's Game written by Michael MacCambridge and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2008-11-26 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book The League That Didn't Exist written by Gary Webster and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-11-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The All-American Football Conference was the only challenger to the NFL (except for the American Football League of the 1960s) to survive more than two seasons in competition with the established league. It ultimately failed to achieve its goal of a peaceful coexistence with the NFL and folded in 1949. Its Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers, which were absorbed by the NFL in 1950, are still in business. This book takes a brief look at all of the NFL's challengers (and would-be challengers) from 1926 to 1945. It looks particularly at the All-American Conference, which overcame obstacles that proved too difficult for others and opened the 1946 season with teams on the East Coast, in the Midwest, on the West Coast, and in the deep South, making it a truly "All-American" enterprise. Each season and off-season is examined in detail.

Download or read book Pro Football Almanac written by Mark Wald and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-29 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part reference and part history, this first volume of the Pro Football Almanac collects the betting lines for more than 13,000 pro football games dating back to 1940, including complete NFL seasons since 1954. An opening essay on the history of the pointspread sets the stage for the data that follows. In a lively, flowing narrative, Wald traces the evolution of the pointspread from its beginning as a crude adjunct to betting odds to the standard betting option for football that it is today. Debunking myths and confirming others, Wald shines a spotlight on a subject that continues to be one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented in sports. Of course, the heart of Volume I is the data. Covering three professional leagues (NFL-AFL-AAFC) and over 40 teams, historians and data geeks alike could spend five years on a sandy spit with this tome before dog-earing the pages. Featuring lists of pro football's greatest coaches against the spread and top 5 games as favorite and underdog by team, the Pro Football Almanac, Vol I is the most thoroughly researched work ever published on the subject.

Book excerpt: Updated June 11th and includes analysis of the Julio Jones Trade! Have you noticed most 2021 Fantasy Football Magazines and Fantasy Football Books tend to recycle the same information, the same sleepers and the same tiers? This is because they're all using the same information: last year's stats! Last year's stats won't tell you how Justin Herbert will acclimate to his new offense or what new head coach Arthur Smith or the trade of Julio Jones will impact the Falcons offense. A few years ago, I was like everyone else. I scoured the Internet and Fantasy Football publications searching for any advantage. I found myself reading 10-15 different books that all wound up telling me the same thing. Making things worse - they were telling all of my competition as well. That's when "sleeper" picks become overhyped and over drafted. To avoid draft day misses, I knew I had to dig into the data. I knew I had to watch film and after a while, I came to realize Fantasy Football success comes from knowing the offensive schemes and how a player's talents will be used in an offense. This is why (as my Fantasy Football Book predicted) Josh Allen flourished last year. Think about this. If all my Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was tell you about one sleeper who is so far forgotten you could draft him and start him in the last round, would it be worth it? My readers who picked up J.K. Dobbins and Antonio Gibson in the middle rounds last year certainly think so. Or if all this Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was keep you from using your draft day picks on season-long busts? This is more than a fantasy football magazine. It's a fantasy football scouting agency. We blend next-gen sports analytics with good old fashion film study. I literally watch every single preseason game in order to properly calibrate this guide's rankings throughout the offseason. That's right, The Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide comes with FREE updates. You don't have to pay $5 a month to access them. If you buy the book, we have you covered. Included Within: 300 detailed player writeups with three year statistical progression included Instructions on how to interact with Sean throughout the offseason Over half of the league has a new head coach or offensive coordinator. How does this impact fantasy potential? Sean's shares insights based on film study and statistical analysis to project the impact of new offensive schemes. We've updated our algorithms to include play calling tendency of coaching staffs Other guides use historical data to project their totals. The Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide is the only fantasy football magazine that utilizes scouting for future rankings. Our draft strategy is primed to maximize the value of every draft pick. Defense and Kicker analysis has been completed to identify competitive advantage at these positions, which are commonly ignored We've completed an easy to follow draft guide with useful tips for fantasy football rookies and fantasy football experts alike Overall player "tiers" definition (which is more useful for draft strategy when playing in leagues with multiple team counts) Expanded sleeper list that is rooted in scouting, coaching analysis and analytics. You won't find these players in other guides! Risky players list, which identifies popular players that carry risk, are over-drafted based on our analysis and/or carry significant bust potential Fantasy Rankings for different league types: PPR, Non-PPR, 1⁄2 PPR, Superflex, Dynasty We track 2021 offseason movement, coaching changes and draft selections
