Football for a Buck Audiobook (Free)

AMERICA Football League was the last football league to not merely challenge the mighty NFL but also to cause it to collectively shudder. It spanned three months, featured as many as eighteen teams, secured multiple tv deals, drew an incredible number of fans, and launched the professions of legends—but then it died under the excess weight of an especially egotistical and bombastic owner, a New York businessman named Donald Trump. In Football for any Buck, Jeff Pearlman draws on more than four hundred interviews to unearth all of the salty, untold tales of one from the craziest sports entities to have ever captivated America. From 1980s medication excess for some of the most enthralling and groundbreaking football ever noticed, Pearlman transports listeners back in time to this crazy, boozy, audacious era of the overall game. He shows how fortunes had been made and dropped and exactly how, thirty years back, Trump was a scoundrel and a spoiler. This is sports activities as high entertainment—and a cautionary story of the problems of ego and extra.
