--Dallas Morning News
"Miller's saucy oral history vividly recalls the exploits of Namath, Kemp, Alworth, and Stram; such historic events as pro football's longest game, the 'Heidi game'; and the watershed event of Super Bowl III."
"--"USA Today Sports Weekly
"There's a Ken Burns documentary in here somewhere."
--Portland Oregonian
From its inauspicious beginnings through its improbable Super Bowl victories and its ultimate demise, the American Football League had a colorful and sometimes bizarre 10-year history that will not soon be forgotten. Now in paperback, Going Long takes you back to that thrilling decade with the men who made the AFL--and who made it great. In this unique oral history, 170 voices come together to tell the unbelievable story of that maverick league.
This rollicking tale is filled with legendary names such as Bob Griese, Joe Namath, Lamar Hunt, Jack Kemp, Len Dawson, and more. From the contentious formation of the league to paychecks bouncing as often as footballs to improbable Super Bowl victories, Going Long presents the colorful and sometimes bizarre tale of eight teams and a league that refused to die.
