From Library Journal
The subtitle sums up these two sportswriters' faith in their many-sided assortment of stories from pro football's first seven decades, including humorous and tragic sidelights. The promised illustrations and statistics should brighten this effort, though it is neither a definitive history nor a reference item but strictly fun football reading for fans.
- Morey Berger, formerly with Monmouth Cty. Lib., Manalapan, N.J.

Reader Reviews
It's funny how you see baseball book after baseball book exploring the past, analyzing the statistics, and uncovering untold stories. Very few football books have ever come out to fill this void, except for this great work. This book is eleven years old, and I still find myself going to it at least several times a football season. Pro Footbal Chronicle profiles forgotten stars such as Big Daddy Lipscomb and Hardy Brown. It tells of the attempt to fix the 1946 NFL Championship and of the saga of Red Grange from college to the pros. It explores the unbreakable records, the big hits, the classic rivalries and....I could go on and on, but I won't. The reason is simply that you should buy it. It is the best sports book ever writen about the greatest sport ever played. I just hope there is an updated version in the works, which would shed some new light on the largely untold story of pro football's roots.
