300 Pounds of Attitude: The Wildest Stories and Craziest Characters the NFL Has Ever Seen Tapa dura - 2006
de Jonathan Rand
Amusing, entertaining, and often as brutal as the sport itself, this volume chronicles four decades of lore from the gridiron, locker room, and front office. Highlights include how Tim Rossovich once showed up outside his hotel room "on fire"; and why Dick Butkus claims his reputation for meanness was blown way out of proportion.
Descripción de contraportada
Steve Sabol of NFL Films once answered the door to see his friend, Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Tim Rosso Rossovich, standing there literally on fire. After Sabol knocked Rossovich to the ground and put out the fire, Rosso stood up and - without missing a beat - said, Sorry, I must have the wrong apartment. Pro football has been filled with players like this - loose cannons, rebels, and trash talkers. Some players are more likeable than others, and some might even be certifiably crazy . . . yet what perfectly sane athlete signs up to get belted around by 300-pound behemoths for three hours every Sunday? In 300 Pounds of Attitude author Jonathan Rand takes us into the huddle, onto the sidelines, and behind the scenes to reveal the most offbeat stories from the NFL. These include: Why Dick Butkus claims his reputation for meanness - which includes biting a referees finger - was blown way out of proportion. How dumping Gatorade on a winning coach became a postseason tradition. Who He Hates ME was, and exactly why He hated him. From the sideline spats to touchdown celebrations to draft day tales, 300 Pounds of Attitude reveals the true stories of the most entertaining figures that have played the game of professional football.
