A dramatic story." --Los Angeles Times [back cover] "A wonderful book. . . . Takes you through the merger with the American Football League in 1966, the beginnings of the Super Bowl, and all of the things that went on behind the scenes. Weiss . . . has some interesting tales to tell." --Boston Globe "Weiss was one of the NFL's unsung heroes, yet his influence is evident each year. As chief of operations at every Super Bowl, Weiss helped expand the game to the worldwide spectacle it is today. This book takes readers backstage to reveal how the event has grown." --USA Today The Making of the Super Bowl is an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look into the history of Super Sunday, the inner workings of the National Football League, and one man's place in the middle of it all. A legend in his own time, Don Weiss was the executive director of the NFL and the man in charge of game-day operations for every Super Bowl played. In this book he offers a riveting chronicle of this ultimate sports extravaganza, from its humble beginnings in a New York City boardroom, through 36 years on the gridiron, to its position of triumph in the hearts of fans worldwide. Don Weiss was the NFL's public-relations director for 12 years, an executive director of the NFL for 17 years, and the man in charge of operations for every Super Bowl game until his death in September 2003. Weiss saw it all--from the merger of the NFL and the AFL, to the launch of the Super Bowl, to thebirth of "Monday Night Football." His story is unique, and his passion and incredible dedication to the game will always be remembered in the history of football.

The first oral history of the AFL--from the men who made it happen "In January of '59 . . . the thought just occurred to me. . . . Why wouldn't it be possible to form a second league? . . . It was like the lightbulb coming on over your head." --Lamar Hunt, founder of the AFL From its inauspicious beginnings through its improbable Super Bowl victories and its ultimate demise, the American Football League had a colorful and sometimes bizarre ten-year history that will not soon be forgotten. "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, a rollicking tale of eight teams that refused to die. In 1959, the NFL had just a dozen teams, with only two located west of the Mississippi River. For forty years, it had enjoyed total dominance over the gridiron, tackling rival franchises and knocking them out of the game. But a revolution was coming to American football, and it all began with a man named Lamar Hunt, the Texas millionaire who desperately wanted a league of his own. With a team of enthusiastic investors, Hunt fired what he later called "the first cannon shot in what turned out to be the pro football war." It was a war that would rage on for ten rough-and-tumble years. The AFL officially kicked off with eight teams--derisively dubbed the "Foolish Club"--which included such now-storied franchises as the Oakland Raiders, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets (then the New York Titans), and Kansas City Chiefs. Though laughed at for years, these underpaid underdogs hung on--through the contentious early days of the leagueto paychecks bouncing as often as footballs to upset Super Bowl victories--eventually forcing a surrender from the NFL in 1970, changing the face of football forever.
