| book description |

There is nothing more American than playing football or cheering for favorite teams. Millions watch each fall with intense interest as high school, college, and professional players hit the field. And there is nothing more entertaining than reading about the game, its colorful players and coaches, and its rivalries. Rich in history and detail, The Big Book ofÂ Football Stories will entertain, enlighten, and amuse. These are enduring stories that have passed the test of time and have attracted generations of readers. They are custom-made for the imaginative reader who seeks fantastic tales from the gridiron. Here is icon Paul â€œBearâ€ Bryant on how to coach, founding father Walter Camp describing the best traits of a player, stories from footballâ€™s early days that inspired generations of players, and an account from 1921 on how teams can best use the new forward pass to its advantage. The modern era is brought to life with an account of the trials of college footballâ€™s worst team, how â€œthe NFL Todayâ€ revolutionized football's popularity, an account of Bullet Bill Dudley, the gameâ€™s last two-way player, stories of iconic quarterbacks Bart Starr and Tom Brady, and an inside view of the trenches from NFL brawler Ralph Cindrich. Here is everything a reader needs for insight into the game, its players, and favorite teams. So many stories, it will take a full season to read and enjoyâ€”and the best part, it won't hurt a bit.
