SUMMARY:THE GARDE: Peter King (The Game) Author Talk and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books and The Garde Arts Center present and author talk and signing with Peter King for his book\, The Game. Peter will be in conversation with Jeff Benedict. \nTICKETS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS EVENT. Purchase Tickets \nAbout the Book \nWith his signature blend of history\, insider reporting\, sharp opinion\, and vivid anecdote\, Peter King offers an extraordinary front-row-seat chronicle of the modern NFL\, taking us into the defining moments\, teams\, controversies\, and more. \nFor 40 years\, Peter King’s unmatched access\, curiosity\, and passion have made him synonymous with the National Football League. He broke countless stories\, giving us the human side of the sport and influencing countless reporters. Players trusted him; coaches and owners revealed information to him. He gathered it all into notebooks and columns that kept fans riveted. \nNow\, in The Game\, King has brought all his knowledge and insight together in one place to tell the story of the modern NFL as no one else could. Moving from the mid-1980s\, when the league went head-to-head with baseball in popularity\, to the present\, when it dominates every other entertainment in America\, King narrates the NFL’s explosive rise from the inside. He puts us in the room with Pete Rozelle\, toward the end of the legendary commissioner’s career and life. He takes us on the Madden Cruiser\, on a cross-country journey with John Madden. He goes behind the scenes in the Reggie White free-agency saga\, when the small-town Green Bay Packers made the canniest offer you’ll ever hear. He gives us Deion Sanders’s philosophy on how to be great on the field and how to work the system off it. He shows us Steve Young\, lying in a bed with IVs in each arm after the greatest game of his life on the biggest stage. He shares the bizarre story of how a tanning bed and some well-timed push-ups helped catapult Peyton Manning to the top of the 1998 draft. He reveals Nick Foles’s mastery of a moment no one thought he could be equal to. He brings us inside the worlds of referees\, of owners\, of NFL drafts. Looking at the future\, he fires a warning shot about the greed overtaking the game. \nTime and again\, King was in limousines\, on planes\, in locker rooms\, and on sidelines where players and coaches told him why they did what they did\, whom they hated\, whom they thought highly of\, what they dreamed of achieving. The result is The Game—a portrait of the modern NFL in all its messy glory\, from one of the greatest storytellers the sport has ever produced. \nAbout the Author \nPeter King wrote for Sports Illustrated from 1989 to 2018\, including the weekly multiple-page column “Monday Morning Quarterback.” He is the author of five books\, including Inside the Helmet. He has been named National Sportswriter of the Year three times. He lives in Brooklyn\, New York. \nAbout Jeff Benedict \nJeff Benedict is a bestselling author as well as a film and television producer. He is the coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestseller Tiger Woods\, which was the basis of the Emmy-nominated HBO documentary Tiger\, and The Dynasty\, the definitive inside story of the New England Patriots under Robert Kraft\, Bill Belichick\, and Tom Brady\, which was a New York Times bestseller and the basis of a ten-part documentary series for Apple TV+\, which Benedict executive produced. He is also the author of a bestselling biography of LeBron James.
