For fans of professional football who thought they had read
everything about the history of the game, Mark L. Ford breaks new
ground with this account of the NFL preseason. Described as "test
labs" by Ford, the preseason games are a time for trying out new
strategies, considering future rule changes, and implementing
television coverage innovations. For thousands of players who vie
for a spot in the league every summer, the preseason is also the
defining moment where careers can be made or broken. A History of
NFL Preseason and Exhibition Games: 1960 to 1985 is one of two
books by Ford on professional football's preseason. Along with its
companion volume-which covers 1986 to 2013-this resource provides
information on every NFL and AFL preseason game played since the
AFL was launched in 1960. All the interesting events and people
that were part of these summer battles are detailed, as well as the
first outings for new teams, new rules, and new stars. In addition,
Ford includes amusing anecdotes and mishaps, such as a 1972 game
that was lost because the players wore the wrong shoes. Throughout
the book, Ford recounts key off-season developments that would
transform professional football from a modest enterprise into a
global monopoly with annual revenues and assets worth billions. A
History of NFL Preseason and Exhibition Games is a unique and
important reference for pro football fans and cultural historians
alike.
