Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Football lends itself to still photography. Photos freeze football's chaos, allowing the viewer to examine the details. Photos also catch the game's great moments: Johnny Unitas reaching back to throw in the 1958 championship game; Barry Sanders defying gravity as he changes directions to avoid a tackle; Muhsin Muhammad at full extension crossing the goal line, ball first. Best Shots: The Greatest NFL Photography of the Century celebrates both the players and the photographers--Al Messerschmidt, Michael Zagaris, and Tony Tomsic, to name a few--who captured them. Some of these Best Shots offer glimpses behind the scenes--Joe Montana gathering his thoughts before Super Bowl XXXII, George Halas celebrating with his Bears after beating the Redskins 73-0 in the 1940 NFL Championship game--while others depict the game's highs and its lows--John Elway's horsey grin upon winning his second straight Super Bowl; Y.A. Tittle, head bloodied and bowed, after yet another loss. With a foreword by Broadway Joe Namath (himself caught injured on the bench, sulking in a fur coat and sunglasses), Best Shots is a wonderful look at the NFL's history--and a great gift for any football fan. --Sunny Delaney

Vivid, Bone-Rattling, Gut-Sucking Shots of Great NFL Action!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 23, 2000

Every NFL fan should be lucky enough to have this book. It is clearly a classic and deserves many more than five stars.
This book contains over 100 photographs from the NFL, mostly since 1958. They are very well reproduced, and the captions are excellent for putting the images in context. The book is improved by a foreword by Joe Namath in which he discusses his favorite photographs in the book and an introduction by Tom Barnidge, the editor, in which he explains the special opportunities and challenges of photographing the NFL.
Almost all of the teams are represented in the book. Some are obviously more represented than others because of their greater past success and longer franchise histories. Part of the book's appeal is seeing some of your favorite players from your team during heroic moments. Packers, Cowboys, Dolphins, Giants, Bears, Rams, Bronco and 49er fans will be the most pleased.
At another level, the book is about remembering many of the highlights of the NFL . . . ones that you may have seen on television, or (if you are lucky) in person.
The images are concentrated in the last ten years so that younger fans will not feel left out. But fans who are over 50 will think that this volume was made just for them.
Fans of all ages will be fascinated by the photographs from the 1930s and 1940s with the old-style helmets, fans huddled under straw bales, and less active play.
The variety of photographs is superb. Every aspect of the game is covered, from training camp to accepting congratulations at the end of the Super Bowl. You have offense, defense, special teams, and even referees finding themselves in the middle of the action (during plays and breaking up fights). You also have celebrations in the end zone, complaints to officials, and impending disaster (such as the photograph of half the Cowboy team about to land on one player)
If you are like me, the most special part of the book comes in the fine detail that you cannot see as a spectator at the stadium or on television. I was totally arrested by the expressions on the players' faces, as they were sacked, smashed, grabbed by the face mask, and annihilated. Even more remarkable was to see the amazing athletic feats (a jump pass by Jack Kemp, Lynn Swann catching a pass fully stretched out, and Barry Sanders making an incredible cut) at the players' eye level.
Some of the famous shots that I remember are in the book, like Namath after winning Super Bowl III, a bloodied Y.A. Title on his knees in defeat in 1964, Bart Starr scoring behind Jerry Kramer, and John Elway in victory after the Super Bowl win. But most of the photographs were new to me. That made reading the book a process of discovery as well as a reminiscence.
Many of the color photographs extend over two pages, and were carefully selected so that the key aspects of the action are not lost in the crease.
Only three things could have made this book even better -- more photographs, larger pages, and commentaries by the players about the images they appear in. Perhaps if we buy enough books, there will be another edition to add those attractive elements.
Until then, this book is the perfect antidote to football-less days and evenings.
After you have finished enjoying the book, I suggest that you consider starting a collection of your own favorite sports photographs. I began doing this a number of years ago. Most prints are not overly expensive, and the pleasure they bring is amazing.
Give 'em a good shot!

Fantastic!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 26, 1999

I bought this book for my Dad's birthday. My father is an enthusiastic football fan (my brother knew the complete multiplication table of 7 before he knew 1+1!) and a phtographer. He can't put this book down! I took a peek at the book myself, and without knowing a thing in football (other than Walter Payton) I have to say that the pictures are truly fantastic. Each one of them is one in a million: Pictures of players with the football inches away from their hands: some painfully missed, some seconds away from a triumph; unbelievable tackles in mid-air ; exhausted expressions; exhilarated faces; games in the snow, mud and rain.
Absolutely exciting! A fascinating collection of pictures that will take your breath away.

Great shots!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 12, 2001

I bought this book as a Christmas present for my 13 yr old son. So when it came in I decided to flip through it. The photographs are very vivid with captions and descriptions for each. I showed my husband who then wanted show his brother and I practically had to drag the book from them so my son wouldn't see. It's the kind of book you could linger over and enjoy with someone else.

Sports Photography at its Best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 22, 2003

My title says it all.
If you are looking for a pictoral history of the NFL, then this is probably an appropriate title as, although it is not, in any way, meant to be a chronological journey, it does contain some of the classic images that have been captured throughout the years. Some examples would be the famous image of a beaten Yelberton Abraham Tittle kneeling on the turf, or that of his teammate, Frank Gifford, lying stricken after encountering the presence of fellow Hall of Fame inductee, Chuck Bednarik.
I would recommend this to all those who are interested in sports photography, especially if you have a passing interest in the NFL.
