Story0
This is the story of how a visionary president, an astute athletic director, and a genius head coach assembled a group of misfit players-and turned the losingest program in college football history into champions. For more than a century, the Indiana University Hoosiers lived at the bottom of the college football world-outmatched, overlooked, and resigned to history. Then Curt Cignetti arrived and told anyone who would listen that Indiana would win. Not someday. Soon. What followed wasn't a miracle. It was a standard.

Story0
The Boston Braves (the present-day Atlanta Braves) were a bunch of losers and alcohol-soaked whiskey swiggers, buried in last place as late as mid-July of 1914. This rough gang was led by their bullying, superstitious manager George Stallings and assisted by Johnny Evers, a nasty, egotistical captain who was despised by opponents and umpires alike.

While many books have been written about Super Bowl games, never has one been written about how the Super Bowl itself became the greatest sporting event created in the twentieth century. Only one person can tell that story, truthfully, completely, and in the utmost detail, and that is Jim Steeg. Publicly known as “Mr. Super Bowl,” Steeg spent almost four decades at the upper-most management levels in professional football, twenty-six of those years as the NFL’s Senior Vice President of Special Events.

In June 1972, President Richard Nixon put pen to paper and signed the Educational Amendments of 1972 into law. The nearly 150-page document makes no mention of “gender,” “athletics,” “girls,” or “women.” The bill did not appear to contain anything earth shattering. But tucked into its final pages, a heading appears, “Title IX—Prohibition of Sex Discrimination.” These 37 words would change the world for girls and women across the United States. On its face, Title IX legally guaranteed equal opportunity in education.

The 1910 University of Pittsburgh football team not only had the honor of being the second undefeated team in the program’s history, the first being the 1904 squad that went 10-0, but it also did something that the ’04 squad didn’t, it went through the entire campaign with a defense that didn’t allow a point. It was as close to perfection as a team could achieve. Win all your games and pitch a shutout in every contest.

Even today, it’s considered one of the most thrilling races in Olympic history. The hundred-meter sprint final at the 1924 Paris Games, featuring three of the world’s fastest swimmers—American legends Duke Kahanamoku and Johnny Weissmuller, and Japanese upstart Katsuo Takaishi—had the cultural impact of other milestone moments in Olympic history: Jesse Owens’s podiums in Berlin and John Carlos’s raised, black-gloved fist in Mexico City. Never before had an Olympic swimming final prominently featured athletes of different races, and never had it been broadcast live.
