"You've got to continually eliminate errors and take pride in not making mental and physical mistakes. It takes extra work, extra thoughts, and extra practice to get it all done. It just doesn't happen on Sunday. You have to make up your minds to get it done and make up your minds to win." -Don Shula, Head Coach, Baltimore Colts (1963-1969) and Miami Dolphins (1970-1995). Most Career Wins (347), Most Super Bowl Appearances (6), Only Perfect Season (1972 Miami Dolphins), and 2 Super Bowl Titles with the Miami Dolphins (VII & VIII) "This is a fascinating work of remarkable scope and scholarship. Dr. Murray has devised a valid new way to measure and predict greatness in the game of football." -Steve Sabol, President of NFL FILMS "Everyone is gifted, but not everyone opens the package. Open this package and you will understand the secret advantage that helped keep me in the NFL for 12 years!" -Jim "Crash" Jensen, Miami Dolphins All Purpose Player (1981-1992), NFL Special Teams Player of Year (1988), "Miami Dolphins Unsung Hero" (2006) "As a professional kicking coach, who has spent my entire career working with professional athletes, I feel that John has done a brilliant job of demonstrating the importance of mental toughness, and intelligent play in professional football! 'The Mental Performance Index: Ranking the Best Teams in Super Bowl History' should be required reading for all football coaches at every level of the game. His book is masterfully done, and clearly outlines that mental preparedness, and intelligence on the playing field, is equally as important as physical ability and athletic talent!" "John, I truly believe that you have created a masterpiece! As a kicking coach, I am very excited about what you have done." -Doug Blevins, President, DOUG BLEVINS KICKING AND PUNTING, Miami Dolphins Kicking Coach, Football Consultant "Dr. John F. Murray is trailblazing a new frontier in understanding and appreciating football and helping teams win! This is a must read for coaches, reporters and anyone who loves the sport." -Jim Martz, Miami Herald sports writer (1970-1990), Editor of Cane Sport (University of Miami fan magazine), Author of 4 Miami Hurricanes books "Today's athletes are blessed with unprecedented physical talent, speed, strength, grace, facilities, technologies, and coaching. Unfortunately, they are often plagued by an ADD culture that inhibits their most important asset in performance - bringing their passion and focus to the moment. Whether the placekicker with a last minute game-winning field goal, an offensive lineman who goes off-sides on a key 4th down in the 4th quarter, or the safety who blows a coverage that costs a game, it is the individuals, but more importantly the TEAMS that play with collective intelligence that consistently win championships. Dr. John F Murray's Mental Performance Index helps us finally understand how and why teams like Bill Belichick's New England Patriots play smarter. I learned in almost 20 years in the NFL that it was improving my capacity to focus on the right things in the moments of truth that took me from a good college placekicker to the most accurate kicker in NFL History. Read this book and carve out new space in your life for lasting success!" -Nick Lowery, New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs & New York Jets Placekicker (1978-1996) "Catching or dropping the big pass in a game actually happens long before the game in great or poor mental preparation. By measuring terrific execution, or it's opposite in carelessness and mental errors, Dr. Murray is also capturing how well players prepare mentally before the big game!" -Dan Johnson, Miami Dolphins tight end (1983-1987), Caught a touchdown pass from Dan Marino in the first quarter of Super Bowl XIX

A celebration of the Jets’ 1968 historic Super Bowl team, filled with exclusive insights and stories from the surviving players, coaches, and management In 1968, Joe Namath, the quarterback of the New York Jets, dominated the headlines as a national celebrity and counterculture figure. The Jets were a vastly talented but underappreciated team that drew constant attention due to Namath, but were not taken seriously by fans. When the Jets earned their way to Super Bowl III to face an eighteen-point favorite Baltimore Colts squad, Namath put all the pressure on himself by shockingly “guaranteeing” a Jets victory. He fulfilled his promise, but knew he didn’t do it alone. As Broadway Joe said in the postgame locker room: “We’ve got the team, brother.” In Beyond Broadway Joe: The Super Bowl TEAM That Changed Football, thirty-six surviving members of that legendary 1968 team share for the first time their funny, poignant, and insightful personal stories about their Super Bowl teammates and coaches, and the historic win that changed football forever. Readers will learn what Namath’s teammates thought about his “guarantee,” find out what Jets coaches discovered on the field early during Super Bowl III that Namath and the defense used to frustrate the Colts, and delight in how the thirty-nine Jets who took the field each week with Namath enabled him to live up to his Super Bowl vow. Author Bob Lederer reviews head coach Weeb Ewbank’s never-before-seen player evaluations—that they didn’t know existed—and provides a rich history of the Jets franchise, from how these thirty-nine forgotten players became Jets, and the road ten of them took to become AFL all-stars in 1968. This definitive review of the entire Jets’ Super Bowl team is a must for every Jets diehard, for fans of the old American Football League, and for all who love the game.

Super Bowl Monday is a thorough retelling of Super Bowl XXV, the epic January 1991 showdown between the New York Giants and the Buffalo Bills. Great characters and a gripping finish to the closest episode in Super Bowl history made for a wonderful conclusion to the game's Silver Anniversary. But what establishes that day as a special moment in American sports history was the cloud of war hanging over the game and the nation. Ten days before the Giants defeated the Bills 20-19 in Tampa Stadium, the United States had authorized Operation Desert Storm and begun the Persian Gulf War. The book is entitled Super Bowl Monday because the hundreds of thousands of American soldiers who were able to watch the Giants vs. the Bills did so on Arabic Standard Time, several hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. For those men and women on duty in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq, Super Bowl XXV took place early Monday morning. Super Bowl Monday features original research from newspaper and video archives in addition to lengthy interviews with many of the game's stars.
