John Eisenberg's That First Season is the seldom-studied prequel to a phenomenal football career for Vince Lombardi and the Packers, drawing on exhaustive research and interviews to tell an incredible ensemble tale of a team, a town, and their leader.
The once-vaunted Green Bay Packers were a laughing stock by the late 1950s. They hadn't fielded a winning team in more than a decade and were close to losing their franchise to another city. They were in desperate need of a savior, and he arrived in a wood-paneled station wagon in the dead of winter from New York City. In a single year, Vince Lombardi--the grizzled coach who took no bull--transformed a team of underachievers into winners and resurrected a city known for its passion for sport.

Автор: Thomas Oates, Zack Furness Название: NFL: Critical and Cultural Perspectives ISBN: 143990958X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781439909584 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 25870.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание:
The National Football League is one of the most significant cultural engines in contemporary American life. Yet despite intense and near ubiquitous media coverage, commentators rarely turn a critical lens on the league to ask what material and social forces have contributed to its success, and how the NFL has influenced public life in the United States.
The editors of and contributors to The NFL examine the league as a culturally, economically, and politically powerful presence in American life. The essays, by established and up-and-coming scholars, explore how the NFL is packaged for commercial consumption, the league's influence on American identity, and its relationship to state and cultural militarism.
The NFL is the first collection of critical essays to focus attention on the NFL as a cultural force. It boldly moves beyond popular celebrations of the sport and toward a fuller understanding of football's role in shaping contemporary sport, media, and everyday life.
Contributors include: David L. Andrews, Aaron Baker, Michael Butterworth, Jacob Dittmer, Dan Grano, Samantha King, Kyle Kusz, Toby Miller, Ronald L. Mower, Dylan Mulvin, Oliver J.C. Rick, Katie Rodgers, and the editors.

2016 Best Book Award, North American Society for the Sociology of Sport A human face on the realities of professional football, from the challenges players face after leaving the NFL to the factors that can enable them to continue to find success Is There Life After Football? draws upon the experiences of hundreds of former players as they describe their lives playing the sport and after their football days are over. The “bubble”-like conditions of privilege that NFL players experience while playing, often leave players unprepared for the real world once they retire and must manage their own lives. The book also reveals the difficulties affecting former NFL players in retirement: social isolation, financial concerns, inadequate career planning, psychological challenges, and physical injuries. From players who make reckless and unsustainable financial investments during their very few high-earning years, to players who struggle to form personal and professional relationships outside of football, the stories in the book put a very human face on the realities of professional football. George Koonce Jr., a former NFL player himself, weaves in his own story throughout, explaining the challenges he encountered and decisions that helped him succeed after leaving the sport. Ultimately, Is There Life After Football? concludes that, despite the challenges players face, it is possible for players to find success after leaving the NFL if they have the right support, education, and awareness of what might await them.

Автор: David Lyons Название: Emlen Tunnell: The Charismatic Life of a War Hero and NFL Legend ISBN: 1439922608 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781439922606 Издательство: Wiley EDC Рейтинг: Цена: 29730.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: The most successful Black football star of his era, and, in 1967, the first Black inductee to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Emlen Tunnell is, sadly, almost forgotten now. A WWII hero who served with distinction in the Coast Guard, Tunnell followed his service with a groundbreaking career in the NFL. He held league records for interceptions, interception return yards, punt returns, and punt return yardage. In 1948, he broke the color barrier to become the first Black player on the New York Giants. He was later a player, coach, and scout for Vince Lombardi’s Green Bay Packers.
David Lyons’s poignant biography, Emlen Tunnell, chronicles this amazing athlete, nicknamed “the Gremlin” for his returns and aerial attacks that wreaked havoc reminiscent of the damage caused by phantom gremlins of WWII. Tunnell was also a game changer, revolutionizing his defensive position as a safety, making it as exciting as a running back.
While Tunnell encountered racism and discrimination on and off the gridiron, the gregarious athlete had a charm and charisma that was disarming. He often mentored teammates and introduced them to Black culture. After his stint in the NFL and until his death, Tunnell was an NFL scout and the first Black assistant coach for the Giants.
Emlen Tunnell thoroughly recounts the extraordinary life and career of this great athlete and does justice to his remarkable legacy.
