WIFFLE: The Wild, Zany and Sometimes Hilariously True Story of the World Football League

The decade of the 1970s was a unique, fascinating, depressing and exciting period all at the same time. It was a turbulent time that saw many history-making events, and some wild and crazy fads and fashions come and go. A lot of things associated with the 1970s, such as bell bottoms, leisure suits, Jimmy Hoffa, pet rocks, lava lamps, mood rings, Nehru jackets, disco music, and Richard Nixon, didn't survive that turbulent decade. Neither did the World Football League. Like the decade itself, the WFL was at once unique, fascinating, depressing, and exciting. It was a slick, mod, hip alternative to an established entity, the National Football League. It featured the Dickerrod, King Corcoran, bouncing checks, yellow footballs, court orders, magenta and orange uniforms, color-coded pants, Papergate, and singular team nicknames that one scribe said made the WFL sound more like a listing of Indian folklore than a football league. But, also like the decade itself, while the league did not survive the 70s, the wild, zany and hilariously true stories associated with the WFL survive to this day. The WFL never ceased to amaze and entertain. As Alex Hawkins, color commentator for the WFL's Game of the Week broadcasts so aptly said, "The whole thing was so bizarre, that you just had to love it.". All of these stories are chronicled in "WIFFLE" -- a book that can be best described as a 50-yard-line ticket to a real-life Theater of the Absurd.
