Book Description
Old Friends and Old Secrets Collide in Day of the Tiger, a Murder Mystery Thriller from Dallas Gorham Retired NFL player Tank Tyler is an influential, wealthy financial advisor—a Tiger by anyone’s definition. Tank’s old college teammate, Al Rice, is drowning in drugs and debt—a miserable failure. Old loyalties and old secrets run deep, and Tank keeps bailing out his no-account friend. Al Rice is targeted by Monster Moffett, a loan shark who crushes Al’s hand with a ball-peen hammer and threatens Al’s mother, Doraleen Rice. Tank hires Private Investigator Chuck McCrary to protect both Doraleen and Al. Chuck’s investigation uncovers Moffett’s trail of sex trafficking and forced prostitution in the sleazy world of high-priced “Gentlemen’s Clubs”—a world demanding more than brawn, balls, and bullets to survive. As Chuck approaches the truth, Moffett’s criminal gang kidnaps Doraleen Rice promises to silence McCrary—permanently. Publisher’s Note: Dallas Gorham combines murder, mystery, and mayhem with a touch of humor—all with a PG-13 rating. The Carlos McCrary, Private Investigator, Mystery Thriller Series can be read and enjoyed in any order. Readers of hard-boiled detective and crime novels will not want to miss this hard-hitting, pulse-pounding series.

Book Description
Walter Camp made the development of football—indeed, its very creation—his lifelong mission. From his days as a college athlete, Camp's love of the game and dedication to its future put it on the course that would allow it to seize the passions of the nation. Roger R. Tamte tells the engrossing but forgotten life story of Walter Camp, the man contemporaries called "the father of American football." He charts Camp's leadership as American players moved away from rugby and for the first time tells the story behind the remarkably inventive rule change that, in Camp's own words, was "more important than all the rest of the legislation combined." Trials also emerged, as when disputes over forward passing, the ten-yard first down, and other rules became so public that President Theodore Roosevelt took sides. The resulting political process produced losses for Camp as well as successes, but soon a consensus grew that football needed no new major changes. American football was on its way, but as time passed, Camp's name and defining influence became lost to history. Entertaining and exhaustively researched, Walter Camp and the Creation of American Football weaves the life story of an important sports pioneer with a long-overdue history of the dramatic events that produced the nation's most popular game.

Book Description
In 2016, the Super Bowl, the climactic spectacle of American professional football, celebrated its 50th anniversary. The Super Bowl stands as the broadest ‘shared experience’ in American culture. As television ratings, cultural practices, and scholarly tomes reveal, more people participate in watching the Super Bowl than in any other common endeavour in the United States. The Super Bowl has become a new national holiday dedicated to the celebration of consumption—the driving force underneath modern culture. Beyond the borders of the United States, the Super Bowl does not rank as highly as a global phenomenon, though it increasingly draws larger audiences in a few nations around the globe. Some watch as curious students of American habits, others seem to be developing affinity for American-style football. The global dynamics of the consumption of football reveal much about the dynamics of American ‘soft power’ and cultural influence in the new globalized social networks that are emerging as consumption increasingly powers not only the United States but also the world economy. A Half Century of Super Bowls: National and Global Perspectives on America’s Grandest Spectacle analyzes the Super Bowl in shaping American and global communities and identities. It was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.
