The NFL Off-CameraBob AngeloLabel: Temple University PressU.S.Description: During his four-decade career at NFL Films writing and directing segments for weekly highlight shows and national telecasts Bob Angelo saw and heard things that never made their way into his productions. Now in The NFL Off-Camera Angelo mines the thousands of interviews he conducted to compile a revealing collection of short insightful essays profiling his favorite-and least favorite-pro football players coaches team owners executives and broadcasters-all of whom he interacted with personally. Angelo effuses about his meeting with the larger-than-life Jim Brown and appreciates the trash talking John Randle. He poignantly reflects on “Bullet Bob Hayes the world's fastest man who “could not outrun his demons and showcases the mercurial Duane Thomas and the free-wheeling Tony Siragusa. The NFL Off-Camera reveals why Angelo sparred with Hall-of-Fame player turned broadcaster Frank Gifford and demonstrates why Super Bowl champion head coach Sean Payton is his “least favorite person in pro football. From Jared Allen to Jim Zorn The NFL Off-Camera explores nearly 100 of the game’s outsized personalities and debunks some of football's most enduring myths. Angelo’s original unfiltered look at Pro Football is as hard-hitting and exciting as any one of his NFL Films.
