Acerca de esta escucha
The National Football League (NFL) is the most popular sports league in the United States, and the Super Bowl is its grandest stage. The incredible runs, the gutsy defensive stands, and the game-winning touchdown throws are all here. Award-winning sports author Matt Doeden explores the history of the Super Bowl and covers the championship game's greatest moments, from Vince Lombardi leading the Green Bay Packers to victory in Super Bowl I to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots coming from 25 points behind to win Super Bowl LI. Don't miss the thrills and the fanfare of the biggest game of the year.

©2017 Matt Doeden (P)2020 Lerner Digital ™Reseñas de la Crítica
"The Super Bowl's status as a major American sporting event is indisputable. Doeden has produced a solid winner with this historical account of the annual event. Beginning with the meeting of representatives from 11 professional football teams in 1920 in Canton, OH, he examines the disorganized circumstances surrounding the formation of the National Football League. Some decades later, Super Bowl I was born in 1967, drawing 62,000 fans. Doeden's overview of this major championship game is enlightening and includes information on halftime entertainment and off the field activities. Images consist of numerous, captivating photographs. The author doesn't shy away from controversial issues that affect the sport. He also discusses efforts to broaden football's international appeal - could there be a Super Bowl overseas one day?" (School Library Journal)
"Although the Super Bowl is at the hub of Doeden's story, he also follows the evolution of professional football from mud bath to cultural institution and beyond. It wasn't until the 1920s that the sport rose above the status of Midwestern semipastime. It was during that decade, Doeden explains, that the owners of the 11 professional teams created what was to become the National Football League. Of equal importance, writes Doeden, a championship game was established. It didn't matter that it was held on a field that was 20 yards short 'and hadn't been properly cleaned after a circus had been in town.' Still, 'it didn't take the league long to discover that playoff games made a lot of money.' Doeden easily negotiates all the brouhaha surrounding the upstart American Football League and the inevitable path to a clash between the two leagues. Sidebars complement the accounts of great contests, memorable plays, and halftime extravaganzas (tactfully dodging the wardrobe malfunction). Doeden doesn't mince words when it comes to chronic traumatic encephalopathy: 'A 2016 study showed that 40 percent of retired NFL players showed some sign of brain injury.' His big question is equally frank: 'How far can the rule changes go before the game itself stops resembling the game that fans love?' A memorable and thought-provoking work of sportswriting that transcends the excitement of championship games." (Kirkus Reviews, starred)
"From the beginning of the National Football League and the origins of the term Super Bowl to the transformation of the halftime show, this book provides a concise, informative history of the football's annual championship. Even better, though, are the lively descriptions of the noteworthy games and the most memorable moments in Super Bowl history, starting with the greatest upset (1969) and ending with the greatest comeback (2017). From the dependable Spectacular Sports series, which includes Doeden's The Final Four (2016) and The College Football Championship (2015), here's another solid addition to sports shelves." (Booklist)

Historia
It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She's immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself.

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Historia
For decades, Amy ran. Through the dirt roads of Amarillo, Texas, where she grew up; to the campus of the University of Virginia, as a student athlete; on the streets of New York, where she built her adult life; through marriage, motherhood, and a thriving career. To outsiders, it all looked, in many ways, perfect. But Amy was running from something—a secret she was keeping not only from her family and friends, but unconsciously from herself. “You’re here, but you’re not here,” her daughter said to her one night. “Where are you, Mom?”
