Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Sample Book Insights:

#1 The quarterback of the Washington Redskins, Joe Theismann, turns and hands the ball to running back John Riggins. It’s what most people know as a flea-flicker, but the Redskins call it a throw back special.

#2 The game of football evolved because of the arrival of Lawrence Taylor. He alone changed the environment around him and forced opposing coaches and players to adapt.

#3 The New York Giants were scouring the country for young men six three or taller and 240 pounds or heavier with speed. They could be found. In that pool of physical specimens what was precious was Lawrence Taylor’s energy and mind: relentless, manic, with grandiose ambitions and private standards of performance.

#4 Parcells believed that Taylor’s greatness was an act of will, a refusal to allow the world to understand him as anything less than great. He responded to anything that threatened his status.
