<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The inside story of the most colorful decade in NFL history pro football's raging, hormonal, hairy, druggy, immortal adolescence.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Between the Immaculate Reception in 1972 and The Catch in 1982, pro football grew up. In 1972, Steelers star Franco Harris hitchhiked to practice. NFL teams roomed in skanky motels. They played on guts, painkillers, legal steroids, fury, and camaraderie. A decade later, Joe Montana's gleamingly efficient 49ers ushered in a new era: the corporate, scripted, multibillion-dollar NFL we watch today. Kevin Cook's rollicking chronicle of this pivotal decade draws on interviews with legendary players--Harris, Montana, Terry Bradshaw, Roger Staubach, Ken "Snake" Stabler--to re-create their heroics and off-field carousing. He shows coaches John Madden and Bill Walsh outsmarting rivals as Monday Night Football redefined sports' place in American life. Celebrating the game while lamenting the physical toll it took on football's greatest generation, Cook diagrams the NFL's transformation from second-tier sport into national obsession.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Featuring arguably the greatest collection of weirdos, maniacs, misfits, heroes and villains ever gathered under any dome other than the U.S. Capitol.--Greg Schneider "Washington Post"<br><br>A head-slap of a book. Whap, yeah, that's how it was.--Roy Blount, Jr., author of About Three Bricks Shy of a Load and Alphabet Juice<br><br>Kevin Cook celebrates the rough-edged heroes of the 1970s NFL, vividly re-creating some of the game's unforgettable moments.--Jonathan Mahler, author of Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bronx is Burning<br><br>About as subtle as a kick in the head.--Scott Simon, NPR<br><br>Wired, crazy, hard-hitting, a pure winner.--Jeff Pearlman, author of Boys Will Be Boys and Sweetness<br>
