They were the NFL's ultimate outlaws, black-clad iconoclasts
who, with a peculiar mix of machismo and brotherhood, of postgrad
degrees and firearms, merrily defied pro football corporatism. The
Oakland Raiders of the 1970s were some of the most outrageous,
beloved, and violent football teams ever to play the game. In this
rollicking biography, Peter Richmond tells the story of Oakland's
wrecking crew of psychos, oddballs, and geniuses who won six
division titles and a Super Bowl under the brilliant leadership of
coach John Madden and owner Al Davis. Richmond goes inside the
locker room and onto the field with Ken Stabler, Willie Brown, Fred
Biletnikoff, George Atkinson, Phil Villapiano, and the rest of this
band of brothers who made the Raiders legendary. Funny, raunchy,
and inspiring, Badasses celebrates the '70s Raiders as the last
teams to play professional football the way it was meant to be
played: down and very, very dirty.
