Award-winning sportswriter Mike Freeman goes beyond day-to-day
newspaper journalism and ESPN highlights to take us deep inside the
game and reveal the NFL in ways that will surprise the most avid
football fans. He travels to the sidelines and into the locker
rooms to interview hundreds of players and coaches on their
expertise. Breaking the game down to its essential elements --
coaching, offense, and defense -- Freeman profiles in depth three
of today's football elite: Jon Gruden, head coach of the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers; Michael Strahan, defensive end for the New York Giants;
and Emmitt Smith, the legendary running back.
Bloody Sundays goes behind the scenes of the "secret society" of
gay players who play in fear of their lives and careers, studies
how the violence of the game ravages the bodies of players, and
takes us into the owners' offices to look at the darker side of the
sport.
Part tribute, part expose, Bloody Sundays is a vivid portrait of
professional football that "gives you so much to think about that
you might find yourself switching off a game to read" (New York
Times Book Review).
