520    "Larry Csonka ran the football with audacity and 
       authority. He lived his off-the-field life with equal 
       abandon. As part of the NFL's 100th Anniversary, he and 
       his undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins teammates were named 
       the best team in NFL history. In Head On, Csonka pulls 
       back the curtain to share how they achieved their 
       legendary Perfect Season. From quitting football at a 
       young age, to his often-combative relationship with Coach 
       Don Shula, to brazen exploits with his NFL pals, Csonka 
       narrates a life that is colorful, unbridled, and 
       thrilling. Csonka, a gifted storyteller who is more at 
       home in the wilderness than on a football field, found 
       himself hanging out with Burt Reynolds, Dick Butkus, Lee 
       Majors, Joe Namath, and Elvis Presley during his football 
       years. But his moments outside the spotlight reveal the 
       most about this larger-than-life figure--raising critters 
       and a little hell in his formative years on an Ohio dirt 
       farm, early run-ins with the law, confronting thieves with
       a sawed-off shotgun, taking sniper fire on a USO tour of 
       Vietnam, and being adrift at night on the Bering Sea with 
       gale-force winds raging. Csonka's authentic voice and 
       unfiltered brand of storytelling is insightful, compelling,
       humorous, vulnerable, and refreshingly frank. For fans of 
       the game--or anyone who loves high adventure--Csonka's 
       Head On is a captivating, nostalgic account of grit, grace,
       and gumption told by an iconic Hall of Famer who continues
       to gain ground--figuratively, literally, and 
       unapologetically--every day."-- encore.
