Bowker Biography:
Tom Danyluk

Tom Danyluk is a freelance writer with a passion for pro football and its history. He is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and Loyola College of Maryland. His weekly column, "The Pro Game," can be found at ProFootballWeekly.com. Tom and his wife Melinda currently reside in downtown Chicago. The Super ‘70s is his first book.

Historian A.J.P. Taylor once observed that, “History is not another name for the past. It is the name for stories about the past.” And for lovers of pro football, Tom Danyluk’s book The Super ’70s is full of those stories, first-hand accounts from many of the men who helped shape the 1970s into one of the most exciting and memorable eras in National Football League history.

Set in an easy-to-read Q&A format, Danyluk examines the decade across its entire spectrum – from the rise of the mighty Pittsburgh Steelers empire to the Keystone Cop antics of the New Orleans Saints; from the punishing ground attack of Chuck Knox’s L.A. Rams to the bombs-away thrusts of Don Coryell’s St. Louis Cardinals; from the street gang warfare of the Oakland Raiders to the glory of America’s Team, the Dallas Cowboys; from the sideline views of coaches like Chuck Fairbanks and Jack Patera to the broadcast booths of Curt Gowdy and Tom Brookshier.

You’ll remember the names – Bum Phillips, Bert Jones, Archie Manning, Cliff Harris, Larry Little, Steve Sabol... they’re all here in a wonderfully entertaining look back at the game’s history, to a special place in time known as The Super ’70s.

“The Super ’70s… is a must, mainly because the author is a tireless researcher and fine writer. It’s loaded with stories, fresh ones that you haven’t read anywhere else.”

- Paul Zimmerman, senior pro football writer, Sports Illustrated
