The Super Bowl: An Official Retrospective
by Rare Air Ltd.
from Ballantine Books
Includes the NFL Network DVD In Their Own Words, featuring amazing footage from Super Bowls past and first-hand accounts from the players and coaches who lived these moments.
The Super Bowl: It’s not just a game, it’s a genuine cultural phenomenon viewed by hundreds of millions around the world. Written in conjunction with the National Football League, The Super Bowl: An Official Retrospective recreates all the glory, the spirit, and the magic of the biggest day in sport. From Lombardi, Starr and Namath to Bradshaw, Montana and Brady, The Super Bowl regales us with the teams, men, and memories that have transformed the Super Bowl into a global event.
Lavishly illustrated and featuring chapter introductions from NFL legends and Super Bowl MVPs Terry Bradshaw, Phil Simms, Roger Staubach, Bart Starr and Tom Brady, The Super Bowl is a story of dazzling individual performances, brilliant team efforts, fierce rivalries, improbable stars, and gifted players who have dominated pro football’s signature day.
The Super Bowl brings to life astonishing feats and unforgettable moments. There’s Joe Namath running into the tunnel after leading his upstart New York Jets to victory in Super Bowl III; Kansas City head coach Hank Stram parading up and down the sideline exhorting his Chiefs as they won Super Bowl IV; Lynn Swann’s incredible catches in Super Bowl X; Phil Simms’ near perfect game in Super Bowl XXI; the Dallas “triplets” — Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin — leading the Cowboys to three Super Bowl wins in the ‘90s; John Elway finally breaking his Super Bowl jinx in XXXII; Kurt Warner pacing the St. Louis Rams over the Tennessee Titans in a game not decided until the last play; and the cool self-assurance of Tom Brady leading his Patriots to three Super Bowl victories in four years.
The Super Bowl celebrates the game’s great teams and coaches: Lombardi’s Packers; Don Shula’s “perfect” Dolphins; Chuck Noll’s guidance of a star-studded Pittsburgh Steelers squad to four titles in six years; Bill Walsh’s 49ers, the team of the ‘80s; Bill Parcells’ two Super Bowl victories with the New York Giants–the first with superior firepower, the second through tactical prowess; Marv Levy’s sustained excellence in bringing his Buffalo Bills to four straight Super Bowls; and the quintessential man with the plan, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
The Super Bowl: An Official Retrospective is a must-have keepsake for any football fan. Filled with compelling anecdotes and images, this book perfectly captures the majesty and emotion of America’s biggest game.
“The feeling that you get running onto the field for that game is incredible. There’s no other thing that I’ve found I can do in my life that can measure up to that. There’s so much excitement and energy in your body. It’s the greatest rush of emotion that you could ever have.”
–Tom Brady, Patriots quarterback, two-time Super Bowl MVP

from Triumph Books
The choices are many. So let's reach into the bag of defining moments in the Carolina Panther's season.
A Friday morning in early January is as good a time as any to start if you want to understand why the Panthers faced the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVIII.
With a coach who drilled them on composure and players who emerged as key leaders, the Panthers refused to give up and overcame the odds time after time.
This moment, although, gave them a dramatic reason for victory and tied the season together.
The Carolina Panthers come off the practice field. They will play the Dallas Cowboys the next day in the franchise's first playoff game since after the 1996 season.
The Rise And Self-Destruction Of The Greatest Football Team In History: The Chicago Bears And Super Bowl XX
by John Mullin
from Triumph Books (IL)
The 1985 Bears, with their explosive concoction of talent, personality, eccentricity, and ego, were unlike any other collection of professional athletes that came before them. They changed the way Americans view their sports teams, and no other team since has even approached the phenomenon that swept the nation during the Bears' run to Super Bowl glory. But the volatility that helped make the 1985 Bears the greatest football team on the planet also contributed to their inevitable implosion. This is the real story of one unique team's rise to glory and a behind-the-scenes look at their fall from grace.
