Badasses

A book that explores the enduring legends of Snake, Foo, Dr. Death, and John Madden’s Oakland Raiders, *Badasses* is the definitive biography of arguably the last team to play old-fashioned tough-guy football. Peter Richmond, co-author of the *New York Times* bestseller *The Glory Game* , offers a fascinating look at the 1970s Oakland Raiders, led by colorful greats from another era: Ken Stabler, Willie Brown, Gene Upshaw, Jim Otto, Art Shell, head coach John Madden, and owner Al Davis. In the bestselling vein of *Boys Will Be Boys* , *Badasses* chronicles the bar-room exploits, practice-field pranks, and Super Bowl glories of the team’s many misfits, cast-offs, psychos, and geniuses of the game.
