Starting with a two-part look inside the mind of New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and continuing through a gallery of storied players, coaches and executives, this four-DVD set captures the essence of what it is like to achieve the highest levels of success amidst the pressure-cooker world of the National Football League. What drove Kurt Warner to persevere when his career seemed at a dead end? How did Tom Landry reinvent the pro game using an engineer's perspective? Why did running back Walter Payton, once deemed too small and too slow, become the greatest running back of all time? These questions and more are answered with unprecedented access, insights from exclusive interviews and a stunning bonus disc containing the comprehensive Steve Sabol interview with Al Davis. A Football Life û Season 1 is an essential watch for any football fan. y. Format: DVD Rating: Not Rated Genre: Sports Release Date: 2012-10-02 Studio: NFL PRODUCTIONS
