About this book

For forty years, Peter King has gotten the stories no one else could. From riding the Madden Cruiser cross-country with John Madden, to slipping into Tom Brady's Montana hideaway after his greatest Super Bowl comeback, to standing a few yards away as a young Patrick Mahomes stunned teammates with throws that defied belief, King's unmatched access, curiosity, and passion have made him synonymous with the NFL for generations of fans. Now, in The Game, King has produced his masterwork: A sweeping, story-filled "football bible" that reveals the sport as never before. Moving from the mid-1980s, when the NFL went head-to-head with baseball in popularity, to the present, when it dwarfs every other entertainment in America, King goes beyond the headlines, capturing the costs men pay, and the glory they sometimes find, when they devote their lives to professional football. With his signature mix of sharp opinion and unforgettable anecdotes, King offers nothing less than a biography of the sport itself.
