Title: The national forgotten league
Description: “Before it got glitzy, the NFL was blood in the dirt. Dan Daly’s book puts us in that untamed frontier. . . . This is pro football’s book of Genesis.”—Dave Kindred, author of Morning Miracle: Inside the “Washington Post”

“With the zeal of an archaeologist and the soul of a poet, Dan Daly peels back the layers of a football past that is far more fascinating than the corporatized modern game.”—Tim Layden, senior writer for Sports Illustrated and author of Blood, Sweat and Chalk

“Those of us who grew up then still see the NFL in our minds as a black-and-white game, with Ray Scott at the mike and Ray Nitschke, toothless and grinning, lording it up out on the field. Dan Daly has been the voice of that time, and of the people like us who remember it.”—Charles Pierce, author of Moving the Chains: Tom Brady and the Pursuit of Everything
