Title: Great Read!
Product review: I first read this book when I was in grade school and was interested in officiating. This was one of the first books written by and NFL official about officiating so I loved it!John McDonough was a referee in the AFL from 1960 until the merger with the NFL 10 years later. He officiated in the merged NFL until his retirement after the 1973 season. He was the referee of Super Bowl IV and he was the referee of the longest game ever played between the Dolphins and Chiefs on December 25, 1971.After he retired from the NFL, he was supervisor of officials of the WFL and he writes about those two crazy years.In 2009, while the AFL is getting some retro-love, you'll find this a great unofficial history of the AFL. McDonough talks about officiating, and tells some hilarious stories. His story about running the Miami Dolphins kickoff team through a military color guard with President Richard Nixon watching is worth the price of the book!
