Summary

"The National Football league is the most popular sports league in the United States. Its championship Game, the Super Bowl, is watched by millions of people every year. But it wasn't always like this. In the last 100 years, football changed from a poorly organized, often overlooked sport to America's favorite pastime. Here are the stories of that remarkable transformation--the stories of the greatest players, the most successful coaches, the most memorable games, and the amazing plays that made us gasp as we watched them in stadiums and on televisions all over America
