"definitive...an ideal resource for football historians as well as casual fans seeking to get a sense of a phenomenal decade in NFL history."-- Library Journal ; "The 1970s was the decade of The Godfather , Watergate and disco. It was also the decade of Monday Night Football , America's Team and the Steel Curtain. Author Joe Zagorski's lively, well-researched book explains how rival leagues, the NFL and AFL, came together and the modern era of pro football was born."--McCann Award-winning sportswriter Ray Didinger; "Finally, a book about the decade of football that defined the game for the Boomer Generation, a decade when the NFL supplanted Major League Baseball as our national past-time and became a cultural obsession. This is when the Me Decade collided with the ultimate team sport. And in this book, Mr. Zagorski has provided the perfect balance, weaving complex historical narrative into a series of wonderful stories and personality portraits that will forever live in the fabric of American sports."--Sal Paolantonio, ESPN National Correspondent; "Zagorski does a fantastic job of telling the story of the NFL during the decade of the 1970s. Full of wonderful anecdotes from an era of pro football worth remembering."--Chris Willis, NFL Films; "If you grew up in the 1970s and want to reconnect with your memories, this is the book for you. It's well researched and full of details from names to events to memorable games."--Cliff Christl, team historian, Green Bay Packers; "The 1970s saw one of the most significant changes in modern NFL history, as two leagues became one and the NFL became an intra-league battle for supremacy on the gridiron. Mr. Zagorski's dynamic and historical account of this period is informative."--Bob Swick, editor and publisher of Gridiron Greats magazi≠"This book is a nostalgic walk back through memory lane and the decade of the 1970s, the decade of dynasties when the NFL captured the imagination of the nation's sports fans with larger than life teams and personalities. It was a time and a place that will never be duplicated again and the author captures all the highlights in this book that you won't want to put down."--Vito Stellino, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ; "It was a self-indulgent era, preoccupied with personal appearance and artistic self-expression. Pro football was a reflection of the times."--NFL Films documentary The Super Seventies ; "For those who remember the 1970s, this book will bring back many fond memories. But the depth and breadth of the research elevates this book far above popular accounts aimed at the fan base."-- Sport in American History ., "definitive...an ideal resource for football historians as well as casual fans seeking to get a sense of a phenomenal decade in NFL history."-- Library Journal "well-researched"-- Journal of Sport History "For those who remember the 1970s, this book will bring back many fond memories. But the depth and breadth of the research elevates this book far above popular accounts aimed at the fan base."-- Sport in American History "The 1970s brought numerous changes to the business side of the NFL as well as the product on the field. This book by Joe Zagorski is a very good recap of that decade for not only explaining all of these changes, but for a thorough description of the important games, players and teams of that decade. Practically anything a reader wants to know about the league between 1970 and 1979 is covered in the book."-- The Guy Who Reviews Sports Books "The 1970s was the decade of The Godfather , Watergate and disco.
