IT'S ONLY A GAME
by Terry Bradshaw
Hardcover - (August 2001) 352 pages
"I had a real job once," begins a memoir as honest, unexpected, and downright
hysterical as Bradshaw himself. From his humble beginnings in Shreveport, Louisiana, to
his success as the centerpiece of the highest-rated football studio show in television
history, Terry has always understood the importance of hard work. A veritable
jack-of-all-trades, he has probably held more jobs than any other football Hall of Famer
ever: pipeline worker, youth minister, professional singer, actor, television and radio
talk show host, and now one of the nation's most popular speakers. But let's not forget
one of the reasons why so many people know and love Terry Bradshaw: he won four Super
Bowls!
In It's Only A Game,
Terry brings the reader right into the huddle and describes the game from the bottom of a
two-ton pile to the top of the sports world. You'll sit right on the fifty-yard line and
watch as Terry earns the title world's greatest benchwarmer. And you'll also hear about
the single greatest play in pro football -- the Immaculate Reception -- as he never saw
it. It's Only A Game is much more than a collection of Terry Bradshaw's favorite and
funniest stories, it is the personal account of a great man's search for life before and
after football...as only Terry could tell it. Buy it from Amazon.com
Football for
Dummies by Terry Bradshaw,
Howie Long (Contributor), John Czarnecki (Contributor)
Softbound - 432 pages (1998)
Get in on all the
play-by-play action of professional and college football. Eight-time Pro Bowl defensive
end, award-winning TV commentator, and action-adventure movie star Howie Long takes you
into the huddle and onto the playing field with Football For Dummies, a complete look at
all the plays, positions, and penalties of the game, along with plenty of game-day insight
and playing-field strategies. Baseball may be America's favorite pastime, says Howie, but
football is America's passion. From the first kickoff of the preseason to the final
seconds of the Super Bowl, you'll have a greater understanding of the game after you've
read Football For Dummies. From the basics of the game (Are footballs really covered with
pigskin? And what's a "gridiron," anyway?) to offensive and defensive plays,
armchair quarterbacks, and the art of staying fit, Long tells all. Plus, check out Howie's
Part of Tens, with his hits on the ten greatest coaches, offensive and defensive players,
and teams of all time -- along with a "Dream Team" roster and complete
"Football Speak" glossary. Buy it from Amazon.com
