Book Description
For more than four decades, the Super Bowl has been the greatest spectacle in sports. But beyond the bright lights and hype of the annual "Big Game," beyond the highlight reels or the famous commercials that are replayed again and again, beyond the familiar storylines that fans have come to know oh-so-well---the most important football game of the year was played and coached on those fateful days.
Written by award-winning sportswriter Bob McGinn, The Ultimate Super Bowl Book is not only a penetrating look at each season's ultimate game for the last 40-plus years, but also one of the definitive works on the game of football itself. Based on interviews with more than 150 head coaches, assistant coaches, scouts, and players that he conducted while researching the book for more than four years, as well as hundreds of hours studying game tape, The Ultimate Super Bowl Book reveals the little-known strategies, game plans and adjustments, and integral match-ups that were pivotal points for creating championships and dynasties for one team, and heartbreak for another.
Combining the taut, driving prose and unique statistical approach that has made McGinn one of the ground-breaking football writers working today, The Ultimate Super Bowl Book forgoes the glitz of the game and is instead a work of football scholarship that will delight readers with its hardcore analysis and accounts of what really happened on the field that day. Additional features also make it an essential reference guide, with complete statistics for every game (including the first-ever listing of individual defensive statistics, in addition to complete offensive and team stats), the first-ever listing of every assistant coach who ever coached in the game, jersey numbers for every player, the heights and weights of each starter, and an appendix of Super Bowl records. Fans will love poring over and debating McGinn s many top 10 lists that are spread throughout the book, including the best and worst plays, coaching and player performances, blunders, and more.
Destined to shed new light on the games behind the media circus, The Ultimate Super Bowl Book is a must-read for fans of famous games and teams, as well as an indispensable resource for coaches and players at all levels of football. It is a revelation for any football enthusiast, from diehard season-ticket holders to fantasy-football players to football video-game addicts. |

Product Description:
Includes the NFL Network DVD In Their Own Words, featuring amazing footage from Super Bowls past and first-hand accounts from the players and coaches who lived these moments.
The Super Bowl: It’s not just a game, it’s a genuine cultural phenomenon viewed by hundreds of millions around the world. Written in conjunction with the National Football League, The Super Bowl: An Official Retrospective recreates all the glory, the spirit, and the magic of the biggest day in sport. From Lombardi, Starr and Namath to Bradshaw, Montana and Brady, The Super Bowl regales us with the teams, men, and memories that have transformed the Super Bowl into a global event.
Lavishly illustrated and featuring chapter introductions from NFL legends and Super Bowl MVPs Terry Bradshaw, Phil Simms, Roger Staubach, Bart Starr and Tom Brady, The Super Bowl is a story of dazzling individual performances, brilliant team efforts, fierce rivalries, improbable stars, and gifted players who have dominated pro football’s signature day.
The Super Bowl brings to life astonishing feats and unforgettable moments. There’s Joe Namath running into the tunnel after leading his upstart New York Jets to victory in Super Bowl III; Kansas City head coach Hank Stram parading up and down the sideline exhorting his Chiefs as they won Super Bowl IV; Lynn Swann’s incredible catches in Super Bowl X; Phil Simms’ near perfect game in Super Bowl XXI; the Dallas “triplets” — Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin — leading the Cowboys to three Super Bowl wins in the ‘90s; John Elway finally breaking his Super Bowl jinx in XXXII; Kurt Warner pacing the St. Louis Rams over the Tennessee Titans in a game not decided until the last play; and the cool self-assurance of Tom Brady leading his Patriots to three Super Bowl victories in four years.
The Super Bowl celebrates the game’s great teams and coaches: Lombardi’s Packers; Don Shula’s “perfect” Dolphins; Chuck Noll’s guidance of a star-studded Pittsburgh Steelers squad to four titles in six years; Bill Walsh’s 49ers, the team of the ‘80s; Bill Parcells’ two Super Bowl victories with the New York Giants–the first with superior firepower, the second through tactical prowess; Marv Levy’s sustained excellence in bringing his Buffalo Bills to four straight Super Bowls; and the quintessential man with the plan, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
The Super Bowl: An Official Retrospective is a must-have keepsake for any football fan. Filled with compelling anecdotes and images, this book perfectly captures the majesty and emotion of America’s biggest game.
“The feeling that you get running onto the field for that game is incredible. There’s no other thing that I’ve found I can do in my life that can measure up to that. There’s so much excitement and energy in your body. It’s the greatest rush of emotion that you could ever have.”
–Tom Brady, Patriots quarterback, two-time Super Bowl MVP

The Super Bowl is an annual American rite. Around the country, friends gather together around the television with beer and potato chips and gear up for the game of the season. A multi-million dollar event produced by the NFL, corporate sponsors and broadcast networks, the Super Bowl is a carefully crafted spectacle that seems more about revenue than football. But what happens to your town when the Super Bowl comes to visit? Dona Schwartz seized the opportunity to find out when Super Bowl XXVI came to her home town, Minneapolis. The result is Contesting the Super Bowl, an alternative, non-NFL-sponsored examination of the event and its impact on the host community. Since the Super Bowl is a visual spectacle, Contesting the Super Bowl employs visual means as part of its analytical arsenal. To cover the event, a team of nine photographers fanned out across the city in search of images that might tell a different story than the photographs dispatched by the press or the NFL. Issues probed by the lens include visible manifestations of race, class, and gender divisions, the roles played by local elites in marshaling the spectacle, and the function of the NFL and the media as storytellers. It integrates newspaper clips, quotes from "players" both on and off the field, NFL rules and regulations, photographers' first-person accounts of their experiences, along with photographs and a series of critical essays heading each chapter. In addition to offering an analysis of power, patriarchy and professional sport, Contesting the Super Bowl critiques its own narrative apparatus and the process of representation. A humorous, and at times disturbing, portrait, Contesting the Super Bowl provides a peek at a different side of this enormously popular event. |

THE SUPER BOWL. America's biggest sports spectacle. More than 95 million fans will be watching, but Steve Thomas and Susan Carol Anderson know that what they'll be watching is a lie. They know that the entire offensive line of the California Dreams have failed their doping tests and that the Dreams' owner is trying to cover up the test results. These two teens are sitting on the biggest sports scandal of the decade. What they don't know -yet - is how to prove it. |
