Description
Over its 105-year history, the NFL has built franchise empires, created icons, integrated itself into the fabric of American culture and captivated fans around the globe. At the core of the NFL are the stories of the iconic players and leaders who drove the NFL from a modest association struggling to define itself against the college game to the most exciting and profitable sports league in the world. Through snappy prose and historic photographs, NFL Moments catalogs the league's larger-than-life characters and their defining stories. The book features these and many more moments: - the founding of the NFL - the stories of the Forgotten Four and the emergence of Black athletes - Joe Namath's guarantee - Franco Harris and the Immaculate Reception - the unrivalled improvisational skills of Patrick Mahomes. From the foreword: Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, the matriarch of a fabled political dynasty, once reflected, "Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments." For football fans everywhere, whatever their rooting interest, this sentiment could not be truer. Moments of inspiration. Moments of achievement. Moments of sorrow. Moments of high drama and of low comedy. Moments that survive years, even decades, after they actually occurred. The people, places, innovations and exploits that define a franchise, a league, a sport, and the eras that spawned them.
