NFL Brawler (eBook, ePUB)

A Player-Turned-Agent''s Forty Years in the Bloody Trenches of the National Football League

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

NFL Brawler is a raucous first-person account of an NFL under siege by the game's first player-turned-agent, Ralph Cindrich, the original "Blind Side" agent whose entertaining pro football memoir takes readers behind the scenes of the game's most important and outrageous drafts, deals, and trades; takes on NFL scandals by tellin' it like it is; and takes readers closer to the real action of the sport-from locker rooms to boardrooms, and into the worlds of agents and players-than any book to date. Chronicling more than thirty years in the professional football business-on the field and in the locker room; in high-stakes negotiations with coaches, GMs, and owners; and inside agents' and players' personal lives-Cindrich, twice named by The Sporting News as one of the 100 most powerful people in sports, writes about a who's who of professional football: NFL coaches like Bill Parcells, Jimmy Johnson, Mike Ditka, Sid Gillman, and Bill Belichick; NFL owners like Art Rooney and Al Davis to Jerry Jones and others; other sports agents; and the NFL talking heads from John Madden to Keyshawn Johnson. While taking certain aspects of his beloved sport to task, Cindrich's memoir is entertaining-blowing out of the water Jerry Maguire, Arli$$, and other portrayals of an agent's life.
