Penguin Press, 2018. 1st Edition 2nd Printing. Hardcover. New/New. B&W and color photo section. CONDITION: NEW 2018-19 Penguin Press hardcover (blue boards) & dust jacket, first edition, second printing. Color and B&W photo section. CONTENT: Like millions of Americans, Mark Leibovich has spent more of his life tuned into pro football than he'd care to admit. Being a lifelong New England Patriots fan meant growing up on a steady diet of lovable loserdom. That is, until the Tom Brady/Bill Belichick era made the Pats the most ruthlessly efficient and polarizing sports dynasty of the modern NFL, and its fans the most irritating in all of Pigskin America. Leibovich kept his obsession quiet, making a nice career for himself covering that other playground for rich and overgrown children, American politics. Still, every now and then Leibovich would reach out to Tom Brady to gauge his willingness to subject himself to a profile. He figured that the chances of Brady agreeing were a Hail…

Sports Publishing, 2013. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. B&W era photo section. CONDITION: UNREAD 2013 Sports Publishing (Skyhorse) hardcover (black boards) & dust jacket, first edition, first printing. B&W era photo section. CONTENT: The pro football season of 1963 was dominated by the unexpected. In April, months prior to the beginning of play, it was revealed that two All-Star players, Paul Hornung and Alex Karras, were gambling on the sport and would be suspended from play for at least a year. Even worse, in May, one of the league's bigger-than-life personalities, Big Daddy Lipscomb, was found dead, with police saying he perished from a heroin overdose, something those who knew him best still dispute. As play began in September, the Pro Football Hall of Fame opened its doors in Canton, Ohio, the same town where the National Football League was founded in 1921 and inducted its first class. Also, the war for players and prestige raged with the upstart American Football League trying to…

Warner Books, 1996. 1st Edition 2nd Printing. Hardcover. New/New. CONDITION: UNREAD 1996 Warner Books hardcover (green boards - what else?) and dust jacket with just one tiny wrinkle bottom front edge. Interior clean & tight. No tanning. CONTENT: Green, author, NPR and Fox Sports analyst, details his struggles in the NFL regarding training camp; pain medication, truth about NFL players and groupies, the mob and the NFL, the salary cap, racism, Aids, and gambling - oh, and life after football. He played on the legendary Atlanta team with Deion Sanders and coached by Jerry Glanville. Dated in some areas, but spot-on in some of today's continuing problems. Green is a great writer, IMHO.

Now Derrick shares the story of his remarkable journey toward NFL stardom, of the friends and…

Post Hill Press, 2017. 1st Edition Assumed 1st. Hardcover. New /New. B&W era photo section. CONDITION: NEW 2017 Post Hill Press hardcover (tan boards) & dust jacket, first edition, assumed first printing. Written with George Abaunza and Mark Vancil. Foreword by Tom Brokaw. B&W era photo section. CONTENT: In case you don't recall Marc's father, Nick, he was one of the best middle linebackers ever to play in the NFL - Miami Dolphins. Hurtling into a tackle, Marc Buoniconti made contact, and then-he felt nothing. He saw an arm flop to the ground and as he struggled to breathe, he became aware whose arm it was: his. That third-and-one play for The Citadel linebacker began as a game-changing moment but quickly turned life-changing for the son of NFL Hall of Fame legend Nick Buoniconti. On October 26, 1985, Marc was paralyzed for life from the shoulders down, injured in the same fashion as he had lived up to then: recklessly. But the same drive to push the limit in everything he'd encountered, from drugs to…
