From veteran New York Times Business & NFL reporter, Ken Belson, a deeply-reported account of how the NFLâs Commissioner, Roger Goodell, and its two most powerful owners, Jerry Jones & Robert Kraft, turned the league into a cultural phenomenon.
On February 11, 2024, NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell, & the leagueâs two most powerful owners, Jerry Jones & Robert Kraft, looked down at the spectacle before them. What they saw was the sportâs championship game, the Super Bowlânow a de facto national holidayâbeing played in a shiny new $2B stadium, home to the first franchise based in Las Vegas, after the leagueâs embrace of nationwide gambling. The moment was over 30 years in the making. As one of Goodell's colleagues said: âRoger doesnât view the other leagues as competition. He wants to be mentioned with Disney and the Vatican, these massive institutions.â
In Every Day is Sunday, Ken Belson traces the evolution of the league from âone of the four US professional sports,â to the superpower it is today. Belson illustrates how the leagueâs rise coincided with the arrival of Jones & Kraft in the early 90âs. He provides an inside look on how these two men reshaped the league, taking readers into the secretive ownerâs meeting, how they decided Goodell was the right man to place as Commissioner, and how the three built, wielded, and held on to their collective power.
Perfect for fans of The Dynasty and Big Game, Belson provides a unique peek behind the curtain of how Americaâs favorite sport achieved its statusâand how these three men let nothing stand in their way.
