When I say that beauty is truth, truth beauty that is what I mean. Beauty in all of its forms is all the world needs. Tapestry asks the question why. Why do evil and suffering exist? For no reason at all, of course. The result of a grand accident. It is the recognition, however, and implementation of pure love and beauty that will bring the universe to its true destiny. We have the power within us to right the eternal wrongs of history no matter how big the mistakeseven one as monumental as the creation of metaphysical evil and suffering. It is true what Leo Buscaglia declares as the final assessment of The Glass Bead Game that love is the only solution to the human existence. Sometimes the impossible does come true!
This book ranks the greatest players in history overall and by position by using the All- Pro Awards and recognition that they received during the era in which they played. This subjective technique was necessary given the difficulties of ranking players of different positions and eras all on one list such as skill players verse lineman from 1923 to 2013. Many of the greatest players in history had relative lengthy careers which is significant due to the violence of the game. The book identifies many players who suffered from concussions, other medical difficulties and even died on the field. It also addresses the mistreatment of amatuer athletes in the sport. College athletics is the only business in America which is allowed not to pay its employees.

Football is a game of numbers--fourth and inches, the three-man rush, a two point conversion, first down. Even with the obvious numbers in the statistics, rules and game situations, the players' uniform numbers themselves have become part of professional football and its lore. NFL players, like modern-day gladiators, are fitted head-to-toe in protective gear, obscuring even their faces from their most loyal fans. They have become largely identifiable through their uniform numbers. You cannot conjure up Larry Csonka without seeing the number 39 crashing through the line of scrimmage, or recall Lawrence Taylor without imagining the fear his 56 inspired in opposing quarterbacks. This comprehensive reference work lists all 32 current franchises of the NFL and includes brief team histories, statistics and interesting facts. Each chapter ends with an all-time numerical roster listing the numbers 1 through 99 (in some cases beginning with 00) and everyone, from Hall-of-Famer to replacement player, who has ever worn the corresponding number for that club. Four appendices are included.
