From a multiple New York Times bestselling author, the rollicking, outrageous, you-can't-make-this-up story of the USFL

The United States Football League--known fondly to millions of sports fans as the USFL--was the last football league to not merely challenge the NFL, but cause its owners and executives to collectively shudder. It spanned three seasons, 1983-85. It secured multiple television deals. It drew millions of fans and launched the careers of legends. But then it died beneath the weight of a particularly egotistical and bombastic owner--a New York businessman named Donald J. Trump. The league featured as many as 18 teams, and included such superstars as Steve Young, Jim Kelly, Herschel Walker, Reggie White, Doug Flutie and Mike Rozier.

In Football for a Buck, the dogged reporter and biographer Jeff Pearlman draws on more than four hundred interviews to unearth all the salty, untold stories of one of the craziest sports entities to have ever captivated America. From 1980s drug excess to airplane brawls and player-coach punch outs, to backroom business deals, to some of the most enthralling and revolutionary football ever seen, Pearlman transports readers back in time to this crazy, boozy, audacious, unforgettable era of the game. He shows how fortunes were made and lost on the backs of professional athletes and also how, thirty years ago, Trump was a scoundrel and a spoiler.

For fans of Terry Pluto's Loose Balls or Jim Bouton's Ball Four and of course Pearlman's own stranger-than-fiction narratives, Football for a Buck is sports as high entertainment--and a cautionary tale of the dangers of ego and excess.

Smooth Bars are nice, Scrub Bars Too Rough
Size: 5.3 Ounce (Pack of 4)
Not bad soap. The scents aren't overbearing, but the "Scrub" style bars.... I have very little use for other than the bottoms of my feet. They are extremely rough and not for use directly on the skin. I've other "scrub" bars in the past that I could use almost all over the body but these are like lava rocks.

Great Scents
Size: 5.3 Ounce (Pack of 4)
Each of the 4 bars smells fantastic. To this point, I have only used one of the exfoliating bars, but it feels great on the skin and does not leave any residue. Also works great on my beard.

Will buy another set
Size: 5.3 Ounce (Pack of 6)
My spouse loves the grittier bars and these last twice as long as another very popular brand. The scents are nice though not as strong as the squatch brand
