The NFL, Year One: The 1970 Season and the Dawn of Modern Football

Autor Dr. Brad Schultz
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mar 2013
For many football fans, the National Football League season of 1970 was a landmark year in the history of the game. The NFL and the American Football League finally began playing as a merged league—one that featured such legendary figures as George Blanda, Tom Dempsey, Vince Lombardi, George Allen, Sid Gillman, Lamar Hunt, and Al Davis. The NFL, Year One focuses on several key games throughout this thrilling initial season. One saw the Raiders and Browns play in Cleveland. This contest serves as the backdrop for the story of forty-three-year-old Oakland kicker Blanda, who went on that season to win or tie four consecutive games in the last seconds, becoming a hero to middle-aged American men. Among other notable games that Brad Schultz examines are the Browns-Jets game that marked the debut of Monday Night Football with commentators Keith Jackson, Howard Cosell, and “Dandy” Don Meredith; the Chiefs-Vikings game that served as a rematch for the Super Bowl IV competitors; and the Colts-Jets game that ultimately set the scene for the 1970 players’ strike. Schultz also demonstrates how the season continues to influence the NFL today.
 
Meticulously researched and thoroughly entertaining, The NFL, Year One is a riveting account of one of the most important and compelling seasons in NFL history. Any fan will surely enjoy Schultz’s revisiting of the game’s amazing 1970 season.

Recenzii

“Having been the play-by-play announcer of the Houston Oilers Radio Network during the period covered by this book, I found that it brought back some terrific memories. Commissioner Pete Rozelle conducted the merger between the leagues with brilliance, which Schultz documents extremely well. The NFL, Year One is a fun, fun read containing some wonderful inside stories.”—Ron Franklin, Houston Oilers Radio Network announcer
