Book description
A fascinating insider's look at the people, politics, and power plays
behind the mega sports deals. In "When the Game Is on the
Line", Rick Horrow reveals the real stories behind the biggest
sports deals of the past twenty years, over 100 of which he has
brokered. Since early battles with infamous Dolphins owner Joe Robbie
and a backstabbing Miami City Commission, Horrow has tangled with
colorful figures in sports and government, including NFL Commissioner
Paul Tagliabue, Florida Governor Jeb Bush, golf legend Jack Nicklaus,
and Miami Heat owner Ted Arison. The results have included new stadiums
across America, league expansions, elite teams such as the Miami Heat--
and the bragging rights to go with them. For anyone interested in the
high-octane world where sports, business, and politics meet, "When
the Game Is on the Line" is a must-read.
