The Football 100

By: The Athletic

A masterful ode to America’s game—and an unforgettable portrait of its greatest legends written by America’s best sportswriters. It is a question that has bedeviled football fans for generations: Who’s the best? Of the more than 25,000 men who have suited up during the NFL’s century of existence, which ones stood head and shoulders above all others? At The Athletic, home to the best newsroom in sports, this question would become a labor of love for dozens of the best football writers on the planet, including Mike Sando and Dan Pompei. Over the course of 100 riveting profiles based on many hundreds of interviews with players, coaches, broadcasters, and others, this is a penetrating look at the greatest players to ever don cleats and pads, as well as a view from the trenches of the harsh realities of a brutal game. 100 photographs throughout the text offer testament to both the glory and the physical toll of football. Among them: Walter Payton, who once played with a 104-degree fever—and broke the single game rushing record with 275 yards Jim Otto, the legendary offensive lineman who paid the ultimate price, suffering 35 concussions and undergoing a total of 74 surgeries Johnny Unitas, who began his career playing quarterback, safety, and punter in a semi-pro league for $6 a game Brett Favre whose very first NFL pass was a pick-six, and Tom Brady, whose very first college pass was also a pick-six Bronco Nagurski, who had a size 22 neck, and moonlighted as a professional wrestler—during football season Grambling State, the tiny historically Black university that produced three of the greatest players of the 1960’s The equipment manager who would order 4 different sizes of thigh pad: “Small, Medium, Large, and Earl Campbell" Chuck Bednarik, who once tore his bicep muscle from the bone, fastened it back in place with athletic tape, and returned to the game—an exhibition game Where are these legends as well as today's stars—Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Julio Jones, Aaron Donald, and others--ranked? You'll find out here, among players from 1920 to the present day, from the Patriots in the east to the 49ers in the west, featuring names like “Night Train,” “Iron Mike” “Bulldog,” and “Crazylegs,” The Football 100 shares stunning new stories you’ve never heard before, and resurrects the legacies of unfairly forgotten greats. Deeply reported, beautifully written, and sure to spark heated debate among football fans of all stripes, this book sets a new standard for writing about the game.

Grown-A$$ Man

By: Cedric (the Entertainer),Cedric the Entertainer

Grown-A$$ Man. What does it mean? It means I ain't got time to play-no nonsense. For one thing, it means I don't wear baggy pants sagging off my bootie. I can't let you see my underwear label. That's not cute. I'm a grown-a$$ man. "Grown-a$$ man" is more than a catch phrase. It's a way of life. It's a "perspective. Say you got a younger cousin. He's got one of those ghetto nicknames. He calls himself "Delicious." Says, "Hey, call me Delicious." You say: "Listen, I'm a grown-a$$ man. I ain't going to call a guy Delicious." Making love is no longer a full time occupation, not the way it once was. I used to do it all night, but now it takes me all night to do it. It's not that I don't like sex, but I'm a grown-a$$ man. I got other things to do. You know those 500 mile walkathon people? I'm a grown-a$$ man. I got a driver's license. ***** Cedric the Entertainer has sold out major theaters across America, starred in Spike Lee's hit movie "The Original Kings of Comedy, added his lovable appeal to the WB's "The Steve Harvey Show, and his Bud Light commercial was voted the #1 ad on the Super Bowl. Now in "Grown-A$$ Man-his laugh-out-loud, first ever book-he proudly presents the very best of his unique brand of comedy. Here's the red-hot comic in all his hilarity, talking about everything from old music vs. new ("I like Big, curl-ain't-quite-right Luther. His curl never really curled all the way over. Always concerned me.") to the pain of political correctness ("You can't even smoke cigarettes on Earth now. You got to leave Earth to do it.") to the differences between black people and white folks. He talks about the influences that shaped him while growingup in small town Missouri, a town "so small anyone could whip your butt, not just your mama." In "Grown-A$$ Man, you'll see the many faces of Cedric, all outrageously funny and delivered with his trademark warmth and wit.
