CONTEST OVER. DAVER WINS…

Time for another Caption Contest from on 205th magazine for another great prize! Here’s what’s up for grabs…

Passing Game: Benny Friedman and the Transformation of Football
List: $26.95
First-time author Murray Greenberg chronicles the overlooked football career of one of the sport’s genuine innovators. Just as Paul Arizin’s perfection of the jump shot changed the game of basketball, Benny Friedman’s invention of the forward pass changed football. During the sport’s first Golden Age, when names like Grange, Nevers and Nagurski glittered, and the melon-sized ball made it difficult and the rules made it risky, the forward pass played a distinctly minor role in any team’s offense. Friedman repeated his college success in the nascent professional game, leading the league in 1928 in both passing and rushing touchdowns, a feat never accomplished before or since. Giants’ owner Tim Mara purchased the entire Detroit Wolverines team just to get Friedman to New York, where his ethnicity and exciting brand of play had special box-office appeal.
Awesome book for the football fan in your life. Or for yourself, of course. This is a story I had not heard and the telling of it kept me riveted throughout. Definitely a Book Guys Will Like.
