Publisher's summary

Spies on the Sidelines: The High-Stakes World of NFL Espionage details the collection techniques that NFL teams utilize to gather information on their opponents in order to gain a game-day advantage, as well as the countermeasures used to defend against them. The book spans the entire history of the league and contains anecdotes from every NFL team. Topics include spying on practices, stealing paperwork and signals, debriefing personnel that switch teams, listening devices, headset tampering, elicitation, Spygate, Deflategate, and so much more!

Written by a former Special Agent with decades of experience collecting and safeguarding information for the Department of Defense, Spies on the Sidelines reveals that, behind the game-day action, professional football can be as cloak-and-dagger as American intelligence agencies. This fascinating and expansive compilation of NFL spy anecdotes exposes the extraordinary measures teams are willing to take in order to win.

Spies on the Sidelines has been featured on CBS Cleveland television, on ESPN radio in Houston, Huntsville, Kansas City, and Washington DC, on numerous nationally syndicated radio shows, and on more than 25 podcasts.

Made me Love Al Davis Even More!

This book is an in-depth look at all types of spying in the NFL going back a hundred years and gave me a whole new perspective on the topic. If you like history and football, this is a must listen!

A new insight into the NFL

I had not known much of the information in this book beforehand and now have a better appreciation for what happens off the field.

I cannot listen to Mike Bryant’s voice

I did not make it 3 minutes in before I had to turn it off. His voice is not a good choice for narration.
