YOU WON'T LEARN THESE FACTS IN YOUR STANDARD FOOTBALL REFERENCE. In 1920, the University of Texas Longhorns ate their mascot at a postseason banquet. In 1940, Turk Edwards of the Washington Redskins suffered a career-ending knee injury during the pre-game coin toss. In 1969, Clive Rush was nearly electrocuted while being introduced as the new coach of the Boston Patriots. During the 1893 Army-Navy game, a general punched a heckling admiral and challenged him to a duel, which resulted in President Grover Cleveland suspending the game for six years. Arranged in seventy top-ten lists, FOOTBALL'S MOST WANTED features the worst players, the most inept teams, the strangest plays, the most bizarre nicknames, the most fantastic finishes, the dirtiest players, the oddest injuries, the greatest upsets, and the most boneheaded calls in the history of both professional and college football. Many of these 700 anecdotes are published here for the first time. FOOTBALL'S MOST WANTED is a hilarious and irreverent look at the nation's most popular sport.
