Rezensionen / Stimmen
From a game that didn't even sell out its 1966 debut, the Super Bowl has grown into the premier sporting contest in America and beyond. No book tells the origins, history and behind-the-scenes happenings of the NFL's showcase event like Super Bowl Heroes. Even the most diehard football fan will learn something new. -- Alex Marvez, SiriusXM NFL Radio host and former Pro Football Writers of America president.
