Publisher's summary

NFL Brawler is a raucous first-person account of an NFL under siege by the game's first player turned agent, Ralph Cindrich, the original "Blind Side" agent. This entertaining pro football memoir takes listeners behind the scenes of the game's most important and outrageous drafts, deals, and trades; takes on NFL scandals by telling it like it is; and takes listeners closer to the real action of the sport - from locker rooms to boardrooms and into the worlds of agents and players - than any book to date.

Chronicling more than 30 years in the professional football business, Ralph Cindrich, twice named by the Sporting News as one of the 100 most powerful people in sports, writes about the who's who of professional football: NFL personnel like Jimmy Johnson, Bill Polian, and Bill Parcells; NFL owners like Art Rooney and Al Davis; sports agents; and, of course, NFL players like Herschel Walker, Bill Fralic, and James Farrior. While taking certain aspects of his beloved sport to task, Cindrich delivers a memoir that is a must-listen for any fan of the game.

True Grit in the NFL

Like a Roman General relating his battles, the author relates an authentic, balanced description of his life, values and first hand experiences as a human being, an athlete and an agent. Not lacking in confidence, the tales are well grounded in the realities of discipline, vision and tactics needed to be successful.

The most valuable lessons are rooted in his tenacity to never let go of his integrity.
