In the former executive director of the Pro Football Hall of Fame comes a sweeping and lively history of the National Football League, timed to coincide with the NFL’s 100th anniversary season.

“I can think of nobody better qualified-or even more enthusiastic-to chronicle the Country wide Football League’s century-long history than Joe Horrigan.”-Marv Levy, Hall of Fame NFL coach

The NFL has come quite a distance from its founding in Canton, Ohio, in 1920. In the century since that fateful time, about NFL Hundred years: The One-Hundred-Year Rise of America’s Greatest Sports League football has become America’s most well-known and lucrative professional sport. The former scrappy upstart group that struggled to remain afloat has survived a bunch of challenges-the Great Major depression and World War II, controversies and scandals, fights over labor privileges and competition from rival leagues-to generate American icons like Vince Lombardi, Joe Montana, and Tom Brady. It really is a fantastic and entertaining background that might be informed just by Joe Horrigan, previous executive director of the Pro Soccer Hall of Popularity and perhaps the best living historian of the NFL, by sketching upon years of NFL archives. Convincing, eye-opening, and authoritative, NFL Hundred years is normally a must-read for NFL enthusiasts and anyone who loves the game of football.

Advance compliment for NFL Century

“Joe Horrigan uses the audience on a wonderful tour from the seminal occasions of the NFL before a hundred years-the players, owners, coaches, executives, and historical events that made the overall game of soccer the most popular in America. It’s a wonderful walk down memory lane for any soccer fan, young or aged.”-Michael Lombardi, writer of Gridiron Genius

“There is no one-and After all no one-who knows more about the history from the NFL than Joe Horrigan, the core of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. As the gold standard of sports activities leagues celebrates its one hundredth period, it’s appropriate that the silver standard of sports activities historians has written NFL Hundred years, an interesting and educational trip.”-Gary Myers, New York Times bestselling writer of Brady vs Manning
