Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Who are your picks for the 100 greatest football players of all time? What about the 25 greatest teams and the 25 greatest games? Members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee have weighed in on the issue in NFL's Greatest.

The esteemed committee has chosen the greatest players, teams, and games and the 25 most important events in the history of the National Football League. The roster is, unsurprisingly, impressive--even though the committee refrained from individual rankings, presenting the lists in alphabetical or chronological order. They're all here, from Herb Adderley to Deacon Jones (who coined the term "sack"), from Sonny Jurgensen to Steve Young, from the 1929 Packers to the 1998 Broncos, and from the November 28, 1929, game in which Ernie Nevins scored all of his team's points to help the Browns defeat the Bears 40-6 (the NFL's oldest record) to Super Bowl XXXIV, in which the Rams held off the Titans.

Whether you agree or disagree with the selections, they make great fodder for discussion. NFL's Greatest is sure to find favor with football fans. --Sunny Delaney --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars NFL rocks!, November 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: NFL's Greatest: Pro Football's Best Players, Teams, and Games (Hardcover)

This may sound weird because I'm a girl, but this book really rocks!! I'm really into the NFL, and I'm really proud of our country and how we managed in football. But since I live in Philadelphia, Andy Ried rules! Eagles are doing awesome and I have 1 word: Playoffs!
