- First time in paperback - In this nostalgic look at Cleveland's last championship team, sportswriter Terry Pluto tells the remarkable story of the underdog team's surprise success and the colorful players who made that season so memorable. "Pluto movingly reveals the substance of a mythic bond between men and a game, a team and a city--and thus lays bare how present-day pro football has surrendered its soul." -- Kirkus Reviews "Terry Pluto, perhaps the best American writer of sports books has picked the right team to get nostalgic about. The 1964 NFL champion Cleveland Browns were sort of a combination of the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers and the mid-'60s St. Louis Cardinals--the former because it was the only championship won by a team that was expected to be a dynasty and the latter because it featured so many people who were as interesting off the field as on." -- Houston Chronicle
