It is told by Rich Podolsky, who worked alongside them both at CBS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeparately, they were great. Together, they were the greatest ever. \u003ci\u003eMadden \u0026amp; Summerall\u003c\/i\u003e is about two stalwarts of the game, but their story is not without controversy. Summerall was a five-sport star who became a broadcaster by accident. Uncharacteristically, he was a morning drive-time radio host before he found his path on TV. Madden was a bigger-than-life Super Bowl-winning coach, and he easily could have been a stand-up comedian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe all remember the great storytelling John Madden, who won sixteen Emmy Awards, but we don't remember how much he struggled his first two years on the air to find his way. In fact, he was almost fired after his first season. It wasn't until he was paired with Summerall that it all clicked. They were so different, yet so perfect together—like peanut butter meeting jelly for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book follows the intimate stories of their lives from childhood to death: before and during their great twenty-one-year partnership. Never-before-told insider stories (some fun, some scathing) from friends, family members, and dozens of ex-colleagues pepper these chapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934112530668,"sku":"9781493091980","price":76.51,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781493091980-madden-summerall.jpg?v=1783898009"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/rich-podolsky.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
