America's Game traces pro football's grand transformation, from the World War II years, when the NFL was fighting for its very existence, to the turbulent 1980s and 1990s, when labor disputes and off-field scandals shook the game to its core, and up to the sport's present-day preeminence. A thoroughly entertaining account of the entire universe of professional football, from locker room to boardroom, from playing field to press box, this is an essential book for any fan of America's favorite sport.

Narrator is boring / sleep inducing
Revisado: 01-10-22
The guy who reads this book is awful. I seriously can't finish listening to it because I can't stand the narrator. I love football and I'm interested in the subject matter, but...maybe I'll buy the print edition. This is the first time I've ever bought a book from audible and can't finish it due to the person reading it.

Offering wonderful perspectives on dozens of unique (and likely never-to-be-seen-again) baseball personalities, Seasons in Hell recounts some of the most extreme characters ever to play the game and brings to life the no-holds-barred culture of major league baseball in the mid-'70s.

This book is a mess
Revisado: 08-14-21
Written in an inappropriate flowery prose style, the writer fills the entire book with so many homophobic statements of his own, and of the players he's writing about, that I lost count. Despite the very dated writing style and many offensive attempts at homophobic humor, I finished the book. It potentially deserves a re-write to remove the author's own homophobia and place that of others in the context of the times. In any event, it's nothing more than a mildly interesting time capsule with an overly extravagant writing style. The pervasive homophobia clinched the 1-star rating.
