The dramatic, hilarious, and controversial insider's look at what really happens on the sidelines and in the locker rooms of the NFL. Hired by the Los Angeles Raiders in 1983 as the team internist, Rob Huizenga worked on the sidelines and in the locker room of every game. That first year was the epitome of Raiders football-- the silver-and-black team of renegades steamrolled opponents and defeated the Washington Redskins in the Super Bowl. For nearly ten years, Huizenga lived in the real NFL trenches, a battlefield atmosphere where getting hurt and partying hard was the name of the game. Jam-packed with close-up anecdotes about football's warriors, this book reveals: * The mind games and methods of mysterious Raiders owner Al Davis * The truth about drug and steroid use in the NFL * The pressure on players to perform even when threatened by serious injury * Harrowing and hilarious true stories about the side of football fans never see * The wild life and tragic death of Lyle Alzado Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Huizenga could have written this book from a bitter perspective but it isn't, it's a thoughtful and seemingly fair account of the highs and lows of the period including the highs and lows of Huizenga himself.
If you've ever wondered how players can bounce back from terrible collisions, or what it takes to go through the suffering barrier in the NFL then this book is definitely for you. It also covers the thorny issue of illegal drug use, and makes no bones about the habits of some players.
Football fans and especially Raiders fans will love the insight into the players of that era. Non-football fans, and even non-Americans like me can marvel at the Americana, and the unique sporting perspective that a physician can have in a sporting world that revolves around injury and pain. (
