Beschreibung

Separately, they were great. Together, they were the greatest ever. Madden and Summerall is about two stalwarts of the game of football, but their story is not without controversy. Summerall was a five-sport star who became a broadcaster by accident. Madden was a larger-than-life Super Bowl-winning coach and easily could have been a stand-up comedian. Madden and Summerall follows the intimate stories of their lives from childhood until their deaths, before and during their great 21-year partnership. Never-before-told insider stories from friends, family members, and dozens of ex-colleagues pepper these chapters.
