[This book] is a vast collection of poorly aged NFL commentary made by media, coaches, and sports personalities. In each chapter, Segal does a deep dive into the reasonings and context in which the prediction was made -- and why it went so terribly wrong. Exploring ill-fated takes like "The Patriots will regret hiring Bill Belichick" and "The Dolphins could have had their next Dan Marino if they selected Brady Quinn," this is a wholly unique and endlessly entertaining lens through which to explore NFL history." -- Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Football $z United States $v Miscellanea. $9 239871 610 20 $a National Football League $x History. 650 0 $a Mass media and sports $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Football $z United States $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a Football $z United States $x Humor. 655 7 $a Trivia and miscellanea. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025109.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230822011223.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230203012311.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A6FE3122300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
