Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. A tight, clean and unmarked copy-" From a multiple New York Times bestselling author, the rollicking, outrageous, you-cant-make-this-up story of the USFL The United States Football Leagueknown fondly to millions of sports fans as the USFLwas the last football league to not merely challenge the NFL, but cause its owners and executives to collectively shudder. It spanned three seasons, 1983-85. It secured multiple television deals. It drew millions of fans and launched the careers of legends. But then it died beneath the weight of a particularly egotistical and bombastic ownera New York businessman named Donald J. Trump. The league featured as many as 18 teams, and included such superstars as Steve Young, Jim Kelly, Herschel Walker, Reggie White, Doug Flutie and Mike Rozier. In Football for a Buck, the dogged reporter and biographer Jeff Pearlman draws on more than four hundred interviews to unearth all the salty, untold stories of one of the craziest sports entities to have ever captivated America. From 1980s drug excess to airplane brawls and player-coach punch outs, to backroom business deals, to some of the most enthralling and revolutionary football ever seen, Pearlman transports readers back in time to this crazy, boozy, audacious, unforgettable era of the game. He shows how fortunes were made and lost on the backs of professional athletes and also how, thirty years ago, Trump was a scoundrel and a spoiler. For fans of Terry Plutos Loose Balls or Jim Boutons Ball Four and of course Pearlmans own stranger-than-fiction narratives, Football for a Buck is sports as high entertainmentand a cautionary tale of the dangers of ego and excess." About the Author: JEFF PEARLMAN is the New York Times best-selling author of eight books, including Football for a Buck,The Bad Guys Won!, Boys Will Be Boys, Showtime, Sweetness and Gunslinger. He lives in Southern California with his wife Catherine and children, Casey and Emmett. Seller Inventory # 020169
