Book Synopsis
Before cable television and mega-contracts, professional jocks’ lives were little different from those of the fans. Perian Conerly, wife of the New York Giants’ quarterback Charlie Conerly, and the first female sportswriter in the National Sportswriters’ Association, wrote this lighthearted account of pro football during its heyday (1948-1961).

Trade Review
Backseat Quarterback is exactly the kind of book that one would expect Perian Conerly to write. Its pages shine with her charm, gaiety, wit, intelligence, and sparkle." -The New York Times

"The best book on pro football in a long time." - The Washington Evening Star
