The last time a Philadelphia professional sports team won a championship, Ronald Reagan was in the White House and Return of the Jedi was number one at the box office. No city with all four major sports has gone longer without one. The local NFL franchise, the Eagles, has not won a title since 1960, putting its devoted fans through decades of futility and heartbreak.Peppered with riotous anecdotes about the grandstand brawlers and football lunatics who make Philadelphia one of the most entertaining places in America to watch a game, If Football''s a Religion, Why Don''t We Have a Prayer? is the hilarious day-by-day account of the operatic passion of Eagles fans in the buildup to the team''s first Super Bowl appearance since 1981. With outrageous detail and beer-on-your-shoes reporting, New York Times sportswriter and longtime Philly resident Jere Longman reveals what happens when the losingest sports town in America finally has a shot at winning it all. - E-bokEngelska, 2009

Now with a new afterword, The Girls of Summer, by the award- winning New York Times sportswriter Jere Longman, takes a serious, compelling look at the women who won the 1999 World Cup and brings to life the skills and victories of the American team. Longman explores the issues this unprecedented achievement has raised: the importance of the players as role models; the significance of race and class; the sexualization of the team members; and the differences between men and women''s sports. Provocative and insightful, this book reminds us that the real struggles are off the field -- and some remain to be won. - Häftad, Engelska, 2011

The New York Times bestseller about Flight ninety-three''s brave men and women on September eleven, 2001—the day that changed how Americans view the world and themselves."A powerful reconstruction of the flight''s final moments. . . . Made me think of John Hersey''s Hiroshima." —New York Times Book ReviewOf the four horrific hijackings on September eleven, Flight ninety-three resonates as one of epic resistance. At a time when the United States appeared defenseless against an unfamiliar foe, the gallant passengers and crew of Flight ninety-three provided for many Americans a measure of victory in the midst of unthinkable defeat. Together, they seemingly accomplished what all the security guards and soldiers, military pilots and government officials, could not—they thwarted the terrorists, sacrificing their own lives so that others might live.The culmination of hundreds of interviews with family members and months of investigation, this powerful and deeply moving book is a lasting testament to American heroes."The definitive account of the flight and those who went down with it."—Washington Post Book World"By the conclusion of the book, the reader has a sense of knowing everyone on the plane, and to a greater or lesser extent shares in the love and the sorrow." —Christian Science Monitor
