Description
From the former executive director of the Pro Football Hall of Fame comes a sweeping and lively history of the National Football League, timed to coincide with the NFLâs 100th anniversary season.
âI can think of no one better qualifiedâor more enthusiasticâto chronicle the National Football Leagueâs century-long history than Joe Horrigan.ââMarv Levy, Hall of Fame NFL coach
The NFL has come a long way from its founding in Canton, Ohio, in 1920. In the hundred years since that fateful day, football has become Americaâs most popular and lucrative professional sport. The former scrappy upstart league that struggled to stay afloat has survived a host of challengesâthe Great Depression and World War II, controversies and scandals, battles over labor rights and competition from rival leaguesâto produce American icons like Vince Lombardi, Joe Montana, and Tom Brady. It is an extraordinary and entertaining history that could be told only by Joe Horrigan, former executive director of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and perhaps the greatest living historian of the NFL, by drawing upon decades of NFL archives. Compelling, eye-opening, and authoritative, NFL Century is a must-read for NFL fans and anyone who loves the game of football.
Advance praise for NFL Century
âJoe Horrigan takes the reader on a delightful tour of the seminal moments of the NFL in the past one hundred yearsâthe players, owners, coaches, executives, and historical events that made the game of football the most popular in America. Itâs a wonderful walk down memory lane for any football fan, young or old.ââMichael Lombardi, author of Gridiron Genius
âThere is no oneâand I mean no oneâwho knows more about the history of the NFL than Joe Horrigan, the heart and soul of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. As the gold standard of sports leagues celebrates its one hundredth season, itâs appropriate that the gold standard of sports historians has written NFL Century, an entertaining and educational journey.ââGary Myers, New York Times bestselling author of Brady vs Manning
