David Fleming -A BIG MESS IN TEXAS

Rattlesnakes on the practice field, fist fights on the team plane, bounced checks, paternity suits, house bombings by the Ku Klux Klan, stadium fields covered in circus elephant dung, one-legged trainers, humiliating defeats, miraculous wins, All-Pro quarterbacks getting drunk at halftime, sex in a phone booth, and even a future Hall of Fame coach stealing a taxi cab. Sounds like the craziest football fiction movie that Hollywood could come up with. Well, it was all true. The 1952 Dallas Texans are nearly lost to history. This single season in the most football-mad region of the U.S., is a kaleidoscope of every larger-than-life Texas football folktale. David Fleming perfectly captures the zaniness of the zaniest team in NFL history with his new book, A BIG MESS IN TEXAS: The Miraculous, Disastrous 1952 Dallas Texans and the Craziest Untold Story in NFL History,#nfl #dallastexas #dallascowboys #davidfleming #authorpodcast #speakingofwriters #books #bookpodcast
