Story4.5 out of 5 stars 54
The National Football League's current dominance has obscured how professional football got its start. In The League, John Eisenberg reveals that Art Rooney, George Halas, Tim Mara, George Preston Marshall, and Bert Bell took an immense risk by investing in the professional game. At that time, the sport barely registered on the national scene. The five owners succeeded only because at critical junctures in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, each sacrificed the short-term success of his team for the longer-term good of the League.

Instead of out-drafting, out-signing, and out-trading their rivals, baseball's best minds have turned to out-developing opponents, gaining greater edges than ever by perfecting prospects and eking extra runs out of older athletes who were once written off. Lindbergh and Sawchik take us inside the transformation of former fringe hitters into home-run kings, show how washed-up pitchers have emerged as aces, and document how coaching and scouting are being turned upside down. The MVP Machine charts the future of a sport and offers a lesson that goes beyond baseball.

The United States Football League was the last football league to not merely challenge the mighty NFL but also to cause it to collectively shudder. It spanned three seasons, featured as many as 18 teams, secured multiple television deals, drew millions of fans, and launched the careers of legends - but then it died beneath the weight of a particularly egotistical and bombastic owner, a New York businessman named Donald Trump. Jeff Pearlman draws on more than 400 interviews to unearth all the salty, untold stories of one of the craziest sports entities to have ever captivated America.

When the Patriots were down 28-3 in Super Bowl LI, there was at least one player who refused to believe they would lose: Julian Edelman. And he said so. It wasn't only because of his belief in his teammates, led by the master of the comeback, his friend and quarterback Tom Brady - or the coaching staff run by the legendary Bill Belichick. It was also because he had been counted out in most of his life and career, and he had proved them all wrong.

Can't say he missed anything
If you could sum up Parcells: A Football Life in three words, what would they be?
If you are a Giants fan, this is a book you have to read (or listen to). I was surprised he didn't talk more about football being his narcotic. Good story by a great football mind.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Parcells: A Football Life?
His leaving the Giants. Wish he focused more on the disaster of the Ray Handley era. Never realized he wanted to return.
What three words best describe Jason Culp’s performance?
He was good- i got a kick out of him imitating Parcels. I wish I heard some of his actual voice (Parcels that is)

Biography of a coach -- and a man
"This may be the most important things I've learned in sports. You are never entitled. Win or get fired."
Hard words. But I try to live up to them in my own profession.
It doesn't make it any easier.
But it does make it clearer.

Any additional comments?
As football biographies go, this was one of the best,next to Favre and Namath...I had forgotten so much of Bill's success and hadn't a clue about his heritage or family background. This book also reveals the very human and insecure side of Bill. And most of all it's amazing to see how much "life" legacy he left with all the lives he made a positive difference in. This is what counts most of all, and we're still all reaping the rewards of his legacy today....Enjoy the ride!!!

the Socrates of football
Parcells DNA is made up of the greatest football coaches of all time and Minds in the game. from Vince Lombardi , Al Davis, Mike holla back, and other greats all have a piece in Bill Parcells. Parcells was the modern-day Socrates in the NFL , his student Bill Belichick and Tom Coughlin, and Sean Payton are the Plato's and Aristotle's of today's football

A true NFL Legend
Where does Parcells: A Football Life rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This title would rank among the top 10 audio books I have listened to so far
What other book might you compare Parcells: A Football Life to, and why?
I would compare this with Madden (unabridged) by Bryan Burwell, both fantastic and influential coaches from the NFL
What about Jason Culp’s performance did you like?
Jason Culp's characterisation of the brusque New Jersey native is as close to hearing Parcells read the words off the page as you'll get.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
There are quite a few emotional moments throughout the book, Parcells is a down to earth hard nosed coach with a heart.
Any additional comments?
Absolutely recommend this title to anyone who followed football from the 70's onwards, besides Parcells notable achievements his time in the NFL has been spent grooming and shaping some of the most iconic players and coaches in the league.
