Book Overview
A book that explores the enduring legends of Snake, Foo, Dr. Death, and John Madden's Oakland Raiders, Badasses is the definitive biography of arguably the last team to play old-fashioned tough-guy football. Peter Richmond, co-author of the New York Times bestseller The Glory Game , offers a fascinating look at the 1970s Oakland Raiders, led by colorful greats from another era: Ken Stabler, Willie Brown, Gene Upshaw, Jim Otto, Art Shell, head coach John Madden, and owner Al Davis. In the bestselling vein of Boys Will Be Boys , Badasses chronicles the bar-room exploits, practice-field pranks, and Super Bowl glories of the team's many misfits, cast-offs, psychos, and geniuses of the game.

Repetitive and Redundant
Published by TJ Emanuel , 1 year ago
The writer seems to be infatuated with the word"Badass" -he uses it literally a couple times EVERY page- and after the first 10 pages it's annoying.The book will give you some background on the team- but a MUCH better book is "Cheating is Encouraged". Don't waste your time, nothing new OR exciting about the Raiders is in here.
