If you are a fan of the Steelers and/or the city of Pittsburgh, I would highly recommend this book. <br /> The author gives insights and tells stories about the formative years of the NFL,with firsthand knowledge about the formation of the players union, the first television contracts etc. <br /> Mr Rooney also gives a season by season recounting of the Steelers seasons with inside information on what the management was thinking as the events unfolded. <br /> I read the whole book in the course of 3-4 days and I found it very informative and entertaining. Rating: 4 / 5 Overall, a very excellent book for anyone attracted in the early years of the NFL and how the NFL is run from an owners perspective. If you are a fan of the Steelers and/or the city of Pittsburgh, I would vastly recommend this book.

The author gives insights and tells tales about the formative years of the NFL,with firsthand knowledge about the formation of the players union, the first television contracts etc.

Mr Rooney also gives a season by season recounting of the Steelers seasons with inside information on what the management was thought as the events extended.

I read the whole book in the course of 3-4 days and I found it very informative and entertaining.

It made it look like that book was retrieved from the garbage pile at the printers. <br /> <br />The book provides a very good history of the Rooney family and the Steelers.

Dan Rooney is the last survivor of the day when men who could think past the end of their own bank account ran the league. His stories about how his father and men like Wellington Mara and George Halas made the NFL are worth the time even for non-Steeler fans. Should be a mandatory read for Jerry Jones and Dan Synder.

The personal stories and perceptions of Dan Rooney with such a long career. How great this book was going to be, or should have been. The two historians that wrote the book, didn't even fact check. Aliquippa on the Mon....... in the Steel Valley???? The Johnny Unitas information was so inaccurate. Johnny didn't call on many teams, ONLY ONE. He didn't write the letter. The coach of the Bloomfield Rams Semi Pro team had his wife do it. Why wouldn't you fact check???? Just two errors, but there are too many to detail (53). I'm sorry for Mr Rooney, he deserved more qualified writers. This could have been a great book. Rating: 1 / 5 I was really excited to get my hands on this book,and bitterly disappointed afterward.
