Produktbeschreibung
Starting in 1970, Coach Don Shula turned the Miami Dolphins from being the perennial doormat of the NFL into one of the most dominant teams ever to play in the NFL. At the same time, Pete Rozelle, the NFL's Commissioner, was changing the enterprise from being just a football league into one of the greatest entertainment businesses in the world. In Rise of the Dolphins, these two events are seen through the eyes of Doug Swift, the unlikely starting strongside linebacker for the Dolphins' famous 1970-1975 "No Name Defense." For old fans, Swift's recollections will bring back memories of many of the League's biggest stars and some of the greatest games ever played -- not only in the '70s, but also in the entire history of the NFL. For current fans, Rise of the Dolphins will connect many of the dots about how the NFL got to where it is today. Either way, this book is an interesting, insightful, and at times humorous read for anyone who cares about football and the NFL.

Autorenporträt
Dave Morine graduated from Amherst College in 1966 and received an MBA from the University of Virginia in 1969. All through the 1970s and 1980s he was the Head of Land Acquisition for The Nature Conservancy, and during that time he directed the permanent protection of over three million acres of the finest natural areas left in America. These days he spends his time as a volunteer helping local land trusts save land and writing about things that interest him. As a former football player for Amherst and a fraternity brother of Doug Swift, Doug's career with the Dolphins is something that really captured Dave's interest. Rise of the Dolphins is his eighth book.
