- catalog abstract ""Before the Super Bowl, before "Monday Night Football," even before the NFL, there was Red Grange: a softspoken midwesterner catapulted into the public eye in 1924 when he scored four touchdowns for Illinois in the first twelve minutes of a historic game against the University of Michigan. From this herculean beginning, the "Galloping Ghost" went on to a trailblazing career as a professional player, Hollywood football idol, and broadcaster."--Jacket. "John Carroll follows the career of this unassuming pioneer who helped lift pro football above its reputation as "a dirty little business run by rogues and bargain-basement entrepreneurs." Grange became one of the first athlete-heroes and the first major sports figure to serve as a play-by-play broadcast commentator."--Jacket.".
