Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1982 pro football was very different. Though top players were national names, they weren't yet the bank-breaking superstars whose every move was followed by a ravenous sports media and who received million-dollar bonuses before they ever played a down. The strike that was called in 1982 had more to do with union leaders' egos and self-interested power grabs than truly gaining benefits for their members. Unfortunately for the league and the union, things didn't work out that way"--Page 4 of cover.
