Give It To Steve!
Seconds before the most iconic touchdown in the 79-year history of the Philadelphia Eagles, fans across Shibe Park were yelling one thing -- "Give it to Steve! Give it to Steve!" Now that's the title of my new Amazon Kindle Single -- a kind of a short e-book that's available to readers through Amazon.com -- that is slated to go on sale Monday afternoon. It tells the remarkable story behind the "Bizzard Bowl" of Dec. 19, 1948, when the Eagles won the first of only three NFL titles, in a raging snowstorm, as well as the remarkable star of that team, Steve Van Buren, and the life and times of pro football's "Greatest Generation." There's a poignant epilogue about life after football for Van Buren and other Eagles legends.
Here is an exclusive excerpt about Van Buren -- "The Greatest Eagle" -- that's in the Daily News Sports Week on sale right now.
I'll post a link here to the Kindle Single as soon as it goes on line Monday afternoon. In the meantime, you can also check the Kindle Singles homepage, where it will be available next week.
Here is some very important information for people wishing to read "Give It To Steve!" Although the Kindle e-reader is a great way to read the piece, it's not the only way. In fact, you can read Kindle e-books on any computer, an iPad and most other tablets or e-readers, or even your smartphone. It only takes a few seconds to download the Kindle app.

Aaaaa hemmm er ahhhhh, post a comment? How about this. A day after Obama's speech another one of the 'green' companies that received Obama's stimulus monies filed for chapter 11. Ener1 which received over 100 million dollars from Obama to make batteries apparently fell way short of the goal line.— RufusG- Forget about Obama having his finger on the nuclear button. I'm more concerned about Obama writing checks that he can't back. Only today Obama is asking to raise the debt ceiling by another 1.2 trillion dollars. I wonder where that bit of info was during his speech?— RufusG
Comment removed.- "Very soon" must have a different meaning on the left. As in give me another four years and 'very soon' this country will be on the road to prosperity...— Wiseman6
- For those of you who are still wondering what Will's 'Give it To Steve' headline was all about, it may have something to do with Ray Didinger's list of the all time top Eagles running backs. Sorry Steve you didn't make the list. Ray thought that reaching back that far wasn't relevant, although Ray did give kudos to Steve.
Personally I think Will should stick to soccer comments.........— RufusG - Comment removed.
