Running Pro Football: Commissioner, Owners, Front Office, and More

by Ted Brock

Overview

Pro football in America is a $10 billion business, with more people employed to run the game and its business than actually play the game on the field. From the commissioner down to the locker-room staff, everyone in the NFL is trying to make it succeed. In this book, a longtime football writer takes an inside look at the people who make the game go off the field, from the New York City headquarters to a team's front office to the companies that rely on the league's popularity. On or off the field, football is a team sport… and that team has all-stars. Professional football is the most popular and successful sports league in American history. This series doesn't focus only on star players and big games, though. Instead, it takes a broader, deeper look at the sport off the field. The insider experience of the authors reveals the secrets that make the NFL No. 1, Just because you know what team won the Super Bowl doesn't mean you know All About Professional Football
