My new book MADDEN & SUMMERALL--How They Revolutionized NFL Broadcasting, comes out Tuesday, 9/16. Has already been applauded by Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Jim Nantz, Tony Kornheiser and more. Pre-order now through Amazon.

Troy and I were honored to write the forward for Rich Podolsky’s book on the all time pair of Madden and Summerall. It’s a great read and highlights the history of their great relationship on and off air. Give it a read as we start another exciting football season!
