Download or read book The Lost Super Bowls written by Tom Danyluk and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lost Super Bowls is historical fiction - a scrapbook of fictional articles by imaginary sportswriters from make-believe newspapers, all dressed in archival photography and original color artwork. It's fantasy football wrapped in a history lesson, the buildup and recap of five AFL-NFL "World Championship" games - from 1961 to 1965 - that were never played. Only the names are real...legendary figures, like Lombardi and Stram, Alworth and Adderley, Ditka and Kemp. Venues like Green Bay's City Field, the Dallas Cotton Bowl and Pasadena's Rose Bowl. It's the winter of 1961. Joe Foss, commissioner of the wobbly American Football League, issues the first of his many telegrams and missives to the rival NFL, requesting that the two leagues create an annual "World Championship Football Game." Foss' gang is struggling and needs a boost. The NFL, however, led by Pete Rozelle, scoffs at the invitation, thus triggering a war between the leagues that would carry deep into the spring of 1966. A merger was finally announced that June. The first Super Bowl game - Kansas City versus Green Bay - wouldn't be played until January of '67. But what if, by some shocking stroke of prescience, the NFL had agreed to Foss' initial proposal? Simply put, football's Super Bowl era would have begun five years earlier - in January, 1962. There'd be five more title games now cemented in the record books. There'd be five more of those fine Sabol highlight reels in the archives of NFL Films. There'd be five more chapters of pro football history that author Tom Danyluk calls The Lost Super Bowls. "Everything you can imagine is real," says the artist, and The Lost Super Bowls presents football history in that very way, a time machine back to those early AFL-NFL battles that never were. It's George Blanda and the Houston Oilers trying to bomb their way past the '61 Packers, Vince Lombardi's first champion. It's Sid Gillman unleashing his lightning bolt strikes on the Monsters of the Midway. It's the mighty Jim Brown slamming horns with Sestak and Saimes and the rugged Bills' defense of 1964. It's the sports pages of The Lost Super Bowls. Sit back and read all about it!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first fifty years of America’s most popular spectator sport have been strangely neglected by historians claiming to tell the “complete story” of pro football. Well, here are the early stories that “complete story” has left out. What about the awful secret carried around by Sid Luckman, the Bears’ Hall of Fame quarterback whose father was a mobster and a murderer? Or Steve Hamas, who briefly played in the NFL then turned to boxing and beat Max Schmeling, conqueror of Joe Louis? Or the two one-armed players who suited up for NFL teams in 1945? Or Steelers owner Art Rooney postponing a game in 1938 because of injuries? These are just a few of the little-known facts Dan Daly unearths in recounting the untold history of pro football in its first half century. These decades were also full of ideas and experimentation, such as the invention of the modern T formation that revolutionized offense, unlimited player substitution, and soccer-style kicking, as well as the emergence of televised pro football as prime-time entertainment. Relying on obscure sources, original interviews, old game films and statistical databases, Daly’s extensive research and engaging stories bring the NFL’s formative years—and pro football’s folk roots—to life.
