From the Publisher:

"Over the years, professional football has been filled with wonderful athletes, fierce competitors, and unique individuals - great human beings on and off the field... It was and is our game, and we are proud of it." -From the Foreword by Mike Ditka

"There are a lot of memories from the more than 40 years I've been doing NFL broadcasts. And the greatest of them has been the contact with the players - the colorful ones, the crazies, the ones with the short fuses, the ones who didn't want to talk, and the ones who you could not get to stop talking." -From the Introduction by Pat Summerall

"I came to the National Football League in 1957, before the sport was the big business it is today - when it was a game you played because you flat-out loved it... Then, in 1950, Vince Lombardi came to Green Bay. It was a turning point in my life and certainly in the Packers' story - and the NFL's, for that matter." -From the Afterword by Paul Hornung
