From a multiple New York Times bestselling author, the rollicking, outrageous, you-can't-make-this-up story of the USFL The United States Football League--known fondly to millions of sports fans as the USFL--was the last football league to not merely challenge the NFL, but cause its owners and executives to collectively shudder. It spanned three seasons, 1983-85. It secured multiple television deals. It drew millions of fans and launched the careers of legends. But then it died beneath the weight of a particularly egotistical and bombastic owner--a New York businessman named Donald J. Trump. The league featured as many as 18 teams, and included such superstars as Steve Young, Jim Kelly, Herschel Walker, Reggie White, Doug Flutie and Mike Rozier. In Football for a Buck, the dogged reporter and biographer Jeff Pearlman draws on more than four hundred interviews to unearth all the salty, untold stories of one of the craziest sports entities to have ever captivated America. From 1980s drug excess to airplane brawls and player-coach punch outs, to backroom business deals, to some of the most enthralling and revolutionary football ever seen, Pearlman transports readers back in time to this crazy, boozy, audacious, unforgettable era of the game. He shows how fortunes were made and lost on the backs of professional athletes and also how, thirty years ago, Trump was a scoundrel and a spoiler. For fans of Terry Pluto's Loose Balls or Jim Bouton's Ball Four and of course Pearlman's own stranger-than-fiction narratives, Football for a Buck is sports as high entertainment--and a cautionary tale of the dangers of ego and excess.Binding Type: Paperback

Good value. Comfortable. Washes & dries at home just fine.
Size: Queen Comforter, Color: Grey Comforter
Super comfy, soft beautiful fabric, very light but warm. Generous size. I washed it in my newer Samsung washer and it filled it 100% just by itself. It came out fine and the washer managed to spin out almost all the water. I dried it for a little over an hour on medium plus an additional hour on low-- lots of tennis balls and dryer sheets. The zillion wrinkles have almost disappeared. It looks great and is super-puffy-- I was concerned the filling would be lumpy but no problem. Good value. (PS- reasonably immune to cat destruction, so far-- They don't like to walk on it, they walk like they're walking in snow!)

Good quality, worth buying
Size: Full Comforter, Color: White Comforter
Very comfortable, holds equal padding really well, has a good weight to it, and great sleep is to be expected. It fits as described and seen on the page. It doesn’t make you overly hot, but it also keeps you warm when it’s cold. Color stays white for a respectable timeline. Highly recommend
