What is The NFL century : the complete story of the National Football League, 1920-2000 about?

There has never been a sports entity like the National Football League or a book like "The NFL Century" -a dazzling and comprehensive celebration of gridiron glory.<br> <br> Eighty years ago a group of mildly successful, middle-America businessmen and sports hounds gathered in a Hupmobile showroom in Canton, Ohio. Leaning, kneeling, and sitting on the running boards of the shiny 1920 models, they mapped out a plan to change pro football from a chaotic, cutthroat game of disrepute to something that might be an organized league.<br> <br> These were optimistic men, but not even the most farsighted among them could have imagined the path their offspring-the National Football League-would take over the course of the twentieth century. Who could have guessed that an entity born in the dusty, wooden arenas of Hammond (Indiana), Akron (Ohio), and Rock Island (Illinois) would become the preeminent sports organization in the Nation, if not the world?<br> <br> How did it happen? It was an alchemy of skilled planning, gritty determination, and sheer luck-and until now, it has been too massive a story to tell between the covers of one book.<br> <br> But here it all is, from the 29-game barnstor
