Football's Game Changers

Barry Wilner has been a sportswriter for the Associated Press since 1975. He has covered virtually every major sporting event, including 13 Olympics, 9 World Cups, 30 Super Bowls, the World Series, and the Stanley Cup finals, and has written more than fifty books. He is also an adjunct professor at Manhattanville College. He lives in Garnerville, New York.Ken Rappoport is the author of nearly seventy sports books for adults and young readers. While working for the Associated Press in New York for thirty years, he has written about every major sport. His assignments have included the World Series, the NBA Finals, and, as the AP’s national hockey writer, the Stanley Cup Finals and the Olympics. He lives in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey.

Alternately nostalgic and pointed, Wilner and Rappoport have written a book that will be a walk down memory lane—and an education—for football fans, whether they are veterans or rookies.
