This wide-ranging history synthesizes scholarship and media sources to give the listener an inside view of the television contracts, labor issues, and other off-the-field forces that shaped the National Football League. Historian Richard Crepeau shows how Commissioner Pete Rozelle's steady leadership guided the league's explosive growth during the era of Monday Night Football and the Super Bowl's transformation into a mid-winter spectacle. Crepeau also delves into the league's masterful exploitation of media from radio to the Internet, its ability to get taxpayers to subsidize team stadiums, and its success in delivering an outlet for experiencing vicarious violence to a public uneasy over the changing rules of masculinity.
Probing and learned, NFL Football tells an epic American success story peopled by larger-than-life figures and driven by ambition, money, sweat, and dizzying social and technological changes.
The book is published by University of Illinois Press.

A thorough history of the NFL

The author does an excellent job putting complex subjects into perspective, helping the reader see both sides of controversial issues and understanding why and how the League emerged as such a powerful organization. Along the way, I got to relive the "greatest game ever", the Baltimore Colts-New York Giants championship game in 1958 and re-connect with Johnny Unitas, Jim Brown, Paul Hornung, and other great players and memorable games from throughout the League's history.
I particularly enjoyed and appreciated the author's discussion of racism and integration in the NFL, violence and injuries, and the business of football. Great book, great performance!
Entertaining and 0bviously well researched.
