Author Description

In All the Rage: The Life of an NFL Renegade, Charles Haley, the legendary Dallas Cowboys defensive end and the only man to earn five Super Bowl rings, recounts the story of his astonishing career as a defensive player for the Super Bowl–winning San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys. He has opinions and stories about some of football’s most famous players—Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, Deion Sanders, Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, Steve Young—and he discusses what it was like to play for Bill Walsh and George Seifert in San Francisco and Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer in Dallas. All the Rage confronts head-on topics other football books avoid: racism in the National Football League, players’ drug abuse and alcoholism, homophobia in the locker room, and the emotional toll the game takes on players’ families. All the Rage bursts with colorful stories, outrageous personalities, and surprising opinions, and leaves the reader with the impression that Charles Haley may be the most colorful, outrageous, and surprising of them all.
