BTN LEAD STUDIO HOST, DAVE REVSINE
Dave Revsine’s work is filled with jaw dropping, vividly detailed stories about football’s wild, woolly formative years. If you think America’s football obsession is a recent development, or that corruption in the money-driven college game is only a modern problem, you’ll be stunned by The Opening Kickoff. A great read. I loved it!”
—Chris Fowler, host of ESPN’s Emmy Award-winning College GameDay

Dave Revsine’s well-researched book on the early days of football is absorbing from opening kickoff to final gun. The stories are filled with historical romance, yet are not rosy-eyed. It is fascinating to see how all the glories and corruptions of football were there from the beginning.” |
