ABOUT

This book is now out of print.


*San Diego Book Award Finalist.

"A breathtaking read. Even if you're not a football fan the book offers a glimpse into a world totally unauthorized by the NFL and it's a worthy read for that alone. Recommended."

Synopsis

Vagabond Blues is an insider's peek at minor league football in the early '80s, an entire netherworld that most people never had the opportunity to see, let alone experience. It's a place where players hopped up on speed and painkillers injure one another for no other reason than because they can. They are drunks and drug-users, Vietnam Vets and NFL misfits, who try just as hard to keep the adrenaline rush going after the game.
