America's Game

The NFL at 100

De: Jerry Rice, Randy O. Williams

Narrado por: Adam Lazarre-White

A celebration of 100 years of the NFL from Hall of Fame receiver and best-selling author Jerry Rice!

“This book is an amazing compilation of the game’s history as seen through the eyes of my friend Jerry Rice, aka The GOAT. You are going to love this book almost as much as you loved watching Jerry play!” (Barry Sanders, NFL Hall of Fame Class of 2004)

The authors of the New York Times best seller 50 Years, 50 Moments celebrate the first 100 years of the National Football League, interweaving history, personal stories, memories, and observations of some of its greatest players, coaches, and advocates to chronicle football’s amazing evolution from a fledgling regional fly-by-night operation into a multi-billion global brand and one of America’s leading franchises.

Over the past century, professional football has transformed from a game played in leather helmets on cow pastures to one of the most high-tech, popular sports on the planet. In this entertaining and concise history, Jerry Rice and Randy O. Williams celebrate the NFL’s centennial, bringing together colorful memories, insights, and personal experiences and observations from the heroes, losers, innovators, and defining legends who have played the game at its highest level. America's Game is filled with inside stories of the league’s fiercest rivalries, closest competitions, and most memorable characters, from the early days of Red “The Galloping Ghost” Grange and “Slingin’” Sammy Baugh to Jim Brown and “Broadway” Joe Namath to Lawrence Taylor, Jerry Rice, and Tom Brady.

Cowboy fans will never forget how Roger Staubach’s Hail Mary lifted his team to a last-second playoff victory over the Vikings. Patriot followers will always point to The Tuck Rule Game as a franchise landmark where Adam Vinatieri’s two clutch kicks in deep snow propelled his team to victory over the Raiders. Generations of Steelers fans will celebrate James Harrison’s electrifying 100-yard interception return for a touchdown in Super Bowl XLIII. All are among the most memorable moments in NFL history. Divided by increments of 25 years, each section of America's Game includes the authors’ selections for their “All Star” players and teams.

America's Game is a unique tribute to this enduring cultural phenomenon and will become the authoritative tribute to all that is great about the sport Americans - and the world - loves.

A Romance Novel For Football Lovers

Amazingly entertaining and informative from start to finish. If you love the game, you will love this book.

Excellent Information Murdered by Narrator

Could not complete this is the one hearing🤢

The jerky pace and stop and go “rhythm” of the reader was like riding in a car with a poor and uncertain driver😖

Fortunately, I have other NFL Audible options, such as♨️

“QB, Steve Young’s autobiography read by the author and George Newbern♥️

“Monsters” (The 1985 Chicago Bears), by Rich Cohen, read by Tom Taylorson♥️

Loved hearing the names of the players I liked, when I was young.

Liked the quarters separation. Futile and frustrating to label a player as the GOAT. Different decades, different stars

The inner history of football

A fereat story of football from multiple perspectives. The performance needs improvement as I felt less excited while listening to it.

Too much to cover

This is more of an encyclopedia then a story. I was hoping for a lot more. I am, sending this back mainly because of the narration. It was a complete monotone. If it got better I might regret returning this but I doubt it.
I think a lot of people would like this book. It was just to dull for me.
