Steve Sabol of NFL Films once answered the door to see his friend, Philadelphia Eagles line-backer Tim "Rosso" Rossovich, standing there literally on fire. After Sabol knocked Rossovich to the ground and put out the fire, Rosso stood up and - without missing a beat - said, "Sorry, I must have the wrong apartment."
Pro football has been filled with players like this - loose cannons, rebels, and trash talkers. Some players are more likeable than others, and some might even be certifiably crazy . . . yet what perfectly sane athlete signs up to get belted around by 300-pound behemoths for three hours every Sunday?
In 300 Pounds of Attitude author Jonathan Rand takes us into the huddle, onto the side-lines, and behind the scenes to reveal the most offbeat stories from the NFL.
These include:
Why Dick Butkus claims his reputation for meanness - which includes biting a referees finger - was blown way out of proportion.
How dumping Gatorade on a winning coach became a postseason tradition.
Who "He Hates ME" was, and exactly why "He" hated him.
From the side-line spats to touchdown celebrations to draft day tales, 300 Pounds of Attitude reveals the true stories of the most entertaining figures that have played the game of professional football.
