Over the Hill to the Super Bowl oleh chuck cascio

The 1972 Washington Redskins were dubbed the Over the Hill Gang by the media, who considered the team of aging veterans too old, too slow, and too ornery to succeed. The day-to-day story of how that team went to the Super Bowl is told in this book, which is the diary of Brig Owens, the teams safety and now a member of the Redskins Ring of Fame. Its all here--the competition, the battles for starting positions, coach George Allens relentlessly thorough preparations, the humor, the tension, the glamour, and the routine...a story of hope that any football fan of any era will enjoy.
