The first fifty years of America's most popular spectator sport have been strangely neglected by historians claiming to tell the "complete story" of pro football. Well, here are the early stories that "complete story" has left out. What about the awful secret carried around by Sid Luckman, the Bears' Hall of Fame quarterback whose father was a mobster and a murderer? Or Steve Hamas, who briefly played in the NFL then turned to boxing and beat Max Schmeling, conqueror of Joe Louis?

«El Celta rozó la hazaña», se pudo leer en todas las crónicas deportivas. Si el roce hace el cariño, la hazaña debe de querer muchísimo al Celta porque llevamos décadas rozándola, acariciándola y haciéndole cosquillitas en el sofá. A la hazaña, estoy segura, le hemos provocado algún que otro orgasmo.

Los ochenta eran años difíciles. La reconversión industrial estaba dejando en cueros a Bizkaia, se sucedían las huelgas y los enfrentamientos de los trabajadores con la policía. En las dos temporadas que el Athletic sacó la gabarra, ETA había asesinado a 117 personas (secuestros, extorsiones, amenazas y atentados fallidos aparte). Eran malos tiempos para todos, y también para la lírica y la épica del fútbol. Pero es cierto que el Athletic era como un alto en el camino, lo que cada uno interpretó a su manera.

El St. Pauli es la constatación de que otra forma de entender el mundo y el fútbol es posible. Es romanticismo en estado puro y es lo más similar al fútbol de barrio, a aquel fútbol popular que nuestros bisabuelos contemplaban desde las gradas cien años atrás. La forma de ser del FCSP ha hecho que personas de cualquier punto del mundo utilicen la bandera y el escudo en los movimientos sociales en los que participan. El año que viene seguirá en la segunda división alemana, pero sus escudos estarán por toda Europa en primera línea de las protestas.

En realidad, la obra de Hemingway es un gran críptico sobre la historia sevillista. Y quien diga lo contrario, o se lo dijera a cierto chaval que vio a su equipo bajar con 16 años y ahí quedó tullido de la cabeza para siempre, miente o es un imbécil. Si no fuera así, ¿qué simboliza entonces el leopardo congelado en las nieves perpetuas del Kilimanjaro, sino el título de Liga que nunca podremos alcanzar mientras morimos de gangrena a pocos pasos de él? Es un audiolibro que cautiva al oyente en los primeros instantes, un relato que va más allá de la historia del fútbol.

El audiolibro cuenta la meritoria historia del Deportivo de La Coruña, el equipo de fútbol que en los años noventa se ganó el cariño de los aficionados españoles por sus heroicas gestas en la Liga y en la Copa del Rey. El equipo, gracias a la ambiciosa gestión de su presidente, incluso llegó a codearse con la realeza del fútbol europeo.

El Rayo Vallecano es de los últimos equipos de barrio que pueden encontrarse en España. Este hecho lo ha dotado de una particular idiosincrasia que se refleja en este audiolibro, en el que se habla de fútbol, pero también de ideología, de historia y de una ciudad.

Fueled by faith and powered by a strong work ethic, Tyler Lockett's debut book of poetry is a reflective and uplifting journey through topics such as identity, sports, race, relationships, and how to live a purposeful life. As an NFL All-Pro wide receiver and return specialist for the Seattle Seahawks, Lockett draws on his unique perspective as a professional athlete to address life's many challenges, temptations, and rewards.

Marcos Abal recoge en el prólogo cuáles son los objetivos de su libro: “Este libro es más bien una reconstrucción. Primero, del niño que creció viendo fútbol y siendo del Barça. Y segundo; de esos jugadores, de algunos, que han pasado por el club y se han quedado grabados para siempre en la memoria colectiva de unos aficionados. Una mitología, por lo tanto, creada a partir de una infancia y de unos dioses particulares, aunque conocidos por todos.

The modern game of football is filled with plays and formations with names like the Counter Trey, the Wildcat, the Zone Blitz, and the Cover Two. They have become part of the sport's vernacular, and yet for many fans they remain just names, often confusing ones. To rectify that, Tim Layden has drilled deep into the core of the game to reveal how these chalkboard X's and O's really work on the field, as well as where they came from and who dreamed them up.

The inside story of the most colorful decade in NFL history - pro football's raging, hormonal, hairy, druggy, immortal adolescence. Between the Immaculate Reception in 1972 and The Catch in 1982, pro football grew up. In 1972, Steelers star Franco Harris hitchhiked to practice. NFL teams roomed in skanky motels. They played on guts, painkillers, legal steroids, fury, and camaraderie. A decade later, Joe Montana's gleamingly efficient 49ers ushered in a new era: the corporate, scripted, multibillion-dollar NFL we watch today.

Football focuses heavily on physical prowess and talent, but the great players possess something extra: the ability to make good decisions on and off the pitch. To unlock their true potential coaches and players need to go beyond their gifts with the ball at their feet and focus as much on their heart and mind. Invaluable for the modern footballer and fascinating for anyone intrigued by the incredible connections between the heart, mind and body, Soccology contains lessons far beyond the beautiful game in how to be the best version of ourselves.

Thursday Night Lights tells the inspiring, largely unknown story of African American high school football in Texas. Drawing on interviews, newspaper stories, and memorabilia, Michael Hurd introduces the players, coaches, schools, and towns where African Americans built powerhouse football programs under the PVIL leadership. He covers 50 years (1920-1970) of high school football history.

Sogni realizzati o infranti per una questione di dettagli. Risultati già scritti ribaltati in un attimo da errori clamorosi o intuizioni improvvise. Imprese impossibili portate a termine contro ogni logica. Il calcio è un gioco, certo, eppure ogni appassionato sa che in quei novanta minuti c'è molto di più: ogni volta che l'arbitro fischia l'inizio della partita e il pallone inizia la sua corsa, sul campo si inseguono speranze, paure, gioie, delusioni, errori, sorprese che, come per magia, diventano specchi delle emozioni, delle scelte, delle situazioni che viviamo ogni giorno.

In this newly revised edition of Chuck Carlson’s Game of My Life Green Bay Packers, the greatest men to don that green and yellow uniform talk about the best, the most important, and the most entertaining game they ever played. Was it during the immortal "Ice Bowl" of 1967, when Bart Starr snuck across the goal line in the withering cold of Lambeau Field to beat the Dallas Cowboys? Or was it the NFC championship win over the Carolina Panthers in 1997 that sent the Packers back to the Super Bowl for the first time in 30 years?

Football is at a crossroads, its future imperiled by the very physicality that drives its popularity. Its grass roots - high school and youth travel program - are withering. But players from the small South Pacific American territory of Samoa are bucking that trend, quietly becoming the most disproportionately overrepresented culture in the sport. But the very thing that makes them so good at football - their extraordinary internalization of discipline and warrior self-image - makes them especially vulnerable to its pitfalls, including concussions and brain injuries.

In an instant he became her hero. Then he became her lover and her friend. My name is Jaxon Hart. You watched me grow up. You watched me fight for my life. Now, I’m fighting for hers. From the second I laid eyes on Annika Leander, I wanted to help her. Protect her. Vindicate her. But she’s got baggage to get through. Hell, we both do. A funny thing happens, though, when you finally connect with someone in a different way than you ever have before. The baggage doesn’t seem so heavy. I suppose that’s really the only thing that matters when the heart gets involved.

What’s there left to say about Tim Tebow? He’s brilliant and appalling, inspiring and annoying - a straightforward young man who somehow played and prayed his way into being the most enigmatic figure in American sports. In the essay-length Kindle Single "The Gospel According to Tim", Joseph Bottum argues that Tebow strikes a nerve because he has slipped beyond all the usual categories of our wink-and-nudge culture of irony. And he’s done that mostly by being simply who he is: not a football-playing theologian but, in essence, a mystic.

Super Agent. Maverick. Reformer. Iconoclast. Dealmaker. Dentist? Jerry Argovitz has worn many hats in his remarkable life, both inside and outside of the world of sports.
