Don Van Natta Jr. and Seth Wickersham will publish a book on Roger Goodell and the NFL.
According to a press release, "POWERBALL will be the untold story of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, the league owners he answers to, and the internal power wars that have greatly impacted America’s most popular sport.
"Both separately and together, Van Natta and Wickersham have written definitive pieces for ESPN The Magazine—about Roger Goodell, Jerry Jones, the Ray Rice domestic violence incident, the connection of Deflategate to Spygate, the relocation of the Rams to Los Angeles, and many of the league’s biggest stars, from Tom Brady to Peyton Manning."
Said Van Natta, “I’m thrilled to be teaming up with my good friend and colleague Seth Wickersham to write what we hope will become the landmark book about the modern-day National Football League. How America’s most popular sports league really works—and why it sometimes doesn’t—are among the sports world’s most fascinating untold stories. We couldn’t be happier that POWERBALL will be published by the supremely talented folks at Crown Archetype.”
Said Wickersham, “The NFL is the sport that the public cares about most and knows about least. It’s a gift to be afforded the time and space to explore how the league works behind closed doors—and how shadow wars in the league office trickle down to the games on Sunday.”
