Description: Watching Football by Daryl Johnston, Jim Gigliotti Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A fascinating look at the game within the game by former Dallas Cowboy fullback and Fox Sports analyst Daryl "Moose" Johnston, with professional journalist Jim Gigliotti. Publisher Description Daryl Johnstons name and voice are known to millions of television viewers who hear his insightful commentary on NFL telecasts each week during the football season. But football fans first learned to love him years ago, when "Moose" was a crowd favorite on the Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl championship teams of the 1990s. A bruising fullback with an unyielding work ethic, Johnston enjoyed the respect of teammates and fans in Dallas almost from the moment he joined the club as a second-round draft pick out of Syracuse in 1989. He earned national recognition in 1993, when he became the first blocking fullback selected to represent the NFC in the annual Pro Bowl game. Mooses blocking helped the Cowboys win three Super Bowls in four years from 1992 to 1995, and helped pave the way for Dallas running back Emmitt Smith to ascend to the top of the NFLs all-time rushing charts. Johnston was a thinking mans football player-an athlete determined to get the most out of his abilities by outsmarting his opponent as well as outhitting him.And when he retired from football following the 1999 season, he brought that same competitive edge to his role as a television analyst, first for CBS in 2000, then for Fox Sports since 2001. In 2004, he was teamed with veteran Dick Stockton and former NFL defensive star Tony Siragusa on one of Foxs most popular announcing crews. Daryl knows that spectators who just follow the football are missing much of the game. We can all see the quarterback hand the ball to the running back, and the linebacker make the tackle. But there are 22 guys in motion on every play. In Watching Football, Moose draws upon his playing experience and years of expert analysis on television to bring the entire field into focus. So the next time you tune in an NFL or college game on television, youll know whats coming-almost before the players do! Author Biography After earning the respect and admiration of his teammates for his contributions to the Dallas offense, Daryl "Moose" Johnston received national recognition for his play in 1993, when he became the first blocking fullback selected to the NFC Pro Bowl team. As the lead blocker for the Cowboys, he helped pave the way for Emmitt Smith to win four NFL rushing titles, and he helped Dallas win three Super Bowls in the 1990s. Johnston played 11 seasons in Dallas before a neck injury originally suffered in 1997 led to his retirement shortly before training camp in 2000. He immediately became a star analyst in the broadcast booth, first at CBS and, since 2001, for Fox. Daryl earned a bachelors degree in economics from Syracuse and is a leading advocate for literacy initiatives. Jim Gigliotti lives with his wife and two children in southern California. He spent 11 years with the NFLs publishing division before becoming a freelance writer and editor in 2000. His recent writing credits include Baseball: A Celebration (with James Buckley, Jr.) and childrens and young adult books on numerous subjects, including NASCAR, the NBA, Major League Baseball, and Sports in America.
