Upton Bell grew up at the knee of the NFL's first great commissioner, his father, the legendary Bert Bell, who not only saved the game from financial ruin after World War II but was one of its greatest innovators. Present at the Creation details Bell’s firsthand experiences. Over the past 53 years, Bell has been an owner, a general manager, a personnel executive, a scouting director for two Super Bowl teams, a television commentator and analyst, and a talk-radio host. He has seen the NFL from the inside and has experienced many of the most important moments in NFL history.

This Man Knows Football
Revisado: 02-07-18
Would you listen to Present at the Creation again? Why?
Yes, but not for a while. The Epilogue maybe sooner. Lots of interesting tidbits there.
Have you listened to any of James Killavey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes. One of my favorite narrators.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The description of his Father's death while watching his favorite team, the Eagles, in the same stadium where he was a star college quarterback Powerful stuff.
Any additional comments?
Got to see Football from a whole different angle. Not just on the field, but in the locker room, in their houses and in the meeting rooms.

W. H. Hudson was born in 1841 in Buenos Aires and seems to have been a sort of permanently displaced person. He moved to London in 1869 and wrote a series of remarkable books, most with a wilderness setting. In 1904, when he was 63, he focused on an Indian legend for Green Mansions, a memorable romance of the jungle for which he is now chiefly remembered. His epitaph reads, "He Loved Birds and Green Places and the Wind on the Heath, and Saw Brightness of the Skirts of God."

This is a selection from Kipling's Just So Stories for Little Children. The "just so" stories are highly fantasized origin stories that are among Kipling's best known and, arguably, best works.

Couldn't believe price on this one. Our school library has been paying
over twelve dollars for story CD's. This one is very cheap and very good.
