Om boken

Now with a brand new chapter on the latest history-making players, Former NFL general manager and three-time Super Bowl winner Michael Lombardi takes readers on the ultimate journey through the NFL's history to present his calls on the greatest players and coaches the sport has ever seen. Who's the greatest player of all time? Which coaches truly shaped the game we know and love today? What was the most unforgettable game? Why is professional football such an undeniable part of our culture? Michael Lombardi has seen it all—from the perspective of scout to executive to coach—and now he sets the record straight on these questions and more. Lombardi tackles all aspects of the sport, channeling his 35+ years of experience with the NFL into an all-encompassing celebration of the game. More than just ranking the giants of the league, he shows how and why each affected the game. Mixing first-person, in-the-locker-room experience with little-known history and hard stats, Lombardi makes a definitive case for the most influential coaches and the best players, offers an insider look at how drafts and trades operate behind the scenes, and honors the sportscasters who played an essential role in popularizing the sport. Both a full history of the sport and a comprehensive re-imagining of the Football Hall of Fame to honor every deserving athlete and coach, Football Done Right will change the way you watch, discuss, and debate the gridiron.
