Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of Jay Berwanger (1914-2002), heralded as one of the greatest football players of the first half of the 20th Century. The modest son of an Iowa blacksmith, Berwanger starred at the University of Chicago (1933-35), then a member of the Big Ten Conference. He earned All-American honors in 1934 and 1935, including the captaincy of a 1934 All-American Team. In 1935, he received the first Heisman Trophy. Berwanger was the first player selected in the first-ever draft of the National Football League. However, he passed up the NFL and took a job in Chicago, where he eventually became a business owner and millionaire. His post-athletic years included stints as a sportswriter, coach, referee, and military pilot trainer. As the significance of the Heisman Trophy increased over time, so did Berwanger's standing as the first Heisman recipient.

Book excerpt: The first authorized and definitive biography of the man behind the most famous individual award in sports, including never-before-published photos and correspondence. No other football trophy captures the country’s imagination like the Heisman does. Each September, as the college football season begins, every player has the same singular aspiration—to hold aloft the Heisman Trophy in New York come December. Yet very little is known about John W. Heisman, the man the Downtown Athletic Club of New York honored in 1936 when it named its national player of the year award for him. In this richly illustrated official biography, the legendary coach’s great-nephew joins with New York Times bestselling author Mark Schlabach to reveal the real story behind the iconic image. Drawing on thousands of pages of personal documents, writings, playbooks, and correspondence with some of college football’s most famous coaches, the authors chronicle Heisman’s life from a young boy growing up on the oil fields of northwest Pennsylvania to one of football’s most innovative and successful coaches. For football fans, this is a fascinating and insightful look at the man linked forever with one of sport’s most enduring symbols.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story about the most lopsided, highest scoring football game ever played as prominently featured by broadcast media including ESPN, the CBS Sports Network, National Public Radio, and in a number of print publications including metropolitan daily newspapers and periodicals nationwide. Heisman's First Trophy is a riveting novel based on a true story featuring romance, greed and revenge about a historically significant college football game played more than 100 years ago credited with changing the way the national media at the time viewed college football in the South. On a mission to save their beloved alma mater from financial demise, a handful of Kappa Sig fraternity brothers, representing tiny Cumberland University, boarded a train in Lebanon, Tennessee and traveled to Atlanta to play a monstrous Georgia Tech team coached by the legendary John Heisman. The game, which remarkably saw no first downs and hand a number of twists and turns, ended with Tech winning 222-0, a record score that remains still today in college football. Tech's win put Coach Heisman on a path to his first national championship, saved Cumberland from likely having to close its doors forever, and changed the perception of a nation about the quality of football being played in the South. From the cost of a bottle of Jack Daniels in 1916 to why Tech withdrew from the SEC in 1963, Heisman's First Trophy is consumed with history about the game of football, its legends, special events and memorable games.

Book excerpt: Billy Cannon’s name, his image, and his remarkable athletic career serve as emblems for Louisiana State University, the Southeastern Conference, and college football. LSU’s only Heisman Trophy winner, Cannon led the Tigers to a national championship in 1958, igniting a love of the game in Louisiana and establishing a tradition of greatness at LSU. But like many stories of lionized athletes who rise to the status of legend, there was a fall—and in the case of Billy Cannon, also redemption. For the first time, Charles N. deGravelles reveals in full the thrilling highs and unexpected lows of Cannon’s life, in Billy Cannon: A Long, Long Run. Through conversations with Cannon, deGravelles follows the athlete-turned-reformer from his boyhood in a working-class Baton Rouge neighborhood to his sudden rush of fame as the leading high school running back in the country. Personal and previously unpublished stories about Cannon’s glory days at LSU and his stellar but controversial career in the pros, as well as details of his indictment for counterfeiting and his post-release work as staff dentist at Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, unfold in a riveting biography characterized by uncanny success, deep internal struggles, and a champion’s spirit that pushed through it all.
