Spies disguised as priests. Secret surveillance of targets'
movements. Radio frequency jamming. Tapped telephones. These might
sound like acts of espionage right out of the Cold War or a spy
movie-but in fact came straight from the National Football League.
In Spies on the Sidelines: The High-Stakes World of NFL Espionage,
Kevin Bryant provides the first in-depth investigation of spying in
professional football, as well as the countermeasures utilized to
defend against these threats. Spanning across all teams and eras,
Bryant shines a light on the shady world of NFL reconnaissance-from
clandestine photography and hidden draft prospects to listening
devices and stolen documents-along with the permissible, if
sometimes questionable, spy techniques teams utilize day in and day
out to gain an advantage over their opponents. Written by a former
Special Agent with decades of experience collecting and
safeguarding information for the Department of Defense, Spies on
the Sidelines reveals that, behind the game-day action,
professional football can be as cloak-and-dagger as American
intelligence agencies. This fascinating and expansive compilation
of NFL spy anecdotes exposes the extraordinary measures teams are
willing to take in order to win.

They learn about themselves, each other and their family ties in
the middle of drama and adventure. Their skills, talent and bravery
are tested through the battle in a place of beauty and danger.
