For three decades, football analyst John Madden was the unofficial voice of the NFL. Pat Summerall was his broadcast partner for 22 of those 30 years, and together they witnessed a lifetime's worth of great games, legendary players, and heartbreaking disappointments. In 2009 Madden announced he was retiring from the booth, but the stories of the men and moments they witnessed live on.

"Then Madden Said to Summerall..." chronicles the greatest stories and stars in NFL history, from the league's early idols such as Bronko Nagurski and Sammy Baugh to the icons of today, including Tom Brady, Ray Lewis, and Peyton Manning. Written and compiled by author Matthew Shepatin, "Then Madden Said to Summerall..." gives readers a unique perspective on the most important people and moments in NFL history; sheds new light on the lives and careers of Jim Brown, Joe Montana, Brett Favre, Jerry Rice, and countless others; features exclusive interviews with media heavyweights including Phil Simms, Tony Kornheiser, and Sal Paolantonio; and goes inside the coaching regimes of Paul Brown, Tom Landry, and Bill Walsh.
