by José Antonio Ponseti Iker Sagasti Javier Gómez Luis JonesCien historias imprescindibles sobre fútbol americano. Bienvenidos al espectáculo de la NFL 100 yardas es la medida oficial de un campo de fútbol americano. Un rectángulo de césped dividido en secciones que señalan el camino a la gloria. En 100 yardas caben pasión y emoción, victoria y derrota, épica y tragedia... y 100 historias imprescindibles como las que reúne este libro. La pachanga que descubrió a los Patriots quién era Tom Brady; la rodilla en tierra de Kaepernick, icono político ya universal; el mejor catch de la historia; la eclosión de Patrick Mahomes o personalidades como Whitney Houston, Mohamed Ali y John F. Kennedy se entremezclan en estas páginas con los rocambolescos viajes de Los Cuatro Jinetes a cada Super Bowl. Sin olvidar historias de bandas callejeras, misiones de navy seals, descensos a los infiernos... Un magnífico retrato de Estados Unidos a través de su deporte estrella. Javi Gómez (Madrid, 1978). Periodista y publicista, es un todoterreno de la comunicación que lo mismo habla de deporte que de política, y con experiencia en Francia, España e Italia.

Luis Jones (Barcelona, 1967). Leyenda del fútbol americano patrio y cinco veces MVP de la liga con los Boxers de Barcelona, ahora es especialista en comunicación corporativa y, sobre todo, la sonrisa de 100yardas. Caballeroso, cercano y siempre buscando una excusa para comerse un postre, Jones es quien mejor conoce las aficiones de los equipos NFL en España... y las «sensaciones de campo». José Antonio Ponseti (Barcelona, 1965). El hombre que trajo la NFL a España. Ni más ni menos. Periodista deportivo de amplia trayectoria, se enamoró deeste deporte en Estados Unidos, donde años después, se convirtió en una estrella de la radio. Voz del fútbol en España, nada le gusta más que un partido de sus Miami Dolphins. Bueno, sí, cualquier lío de 100 yardas. Lleva más de treinta Super Bowls. Iker Sagasti (San Sebastián, 1981). Lo sabe todo. Y de todos. Periodista de radio, versátil y siempre con una sonrisa, es el chico de los datos y el análisis profundo. Estudia mejor los partidos que Bill Belichick y habla siempre el primero, como los capitanes de equipo. Fue el primer español en comentar un partido en el Game Pass de la NFL.

Or sunflowers. (Though it does wax lyrical about some stunning Alpine scenery . . . and, with the race starting in Yorkshire, even some stunning scenery not far from Bradford).From Leeds to Paris (how often do you say that?), Ned details the minutiae of his encounters with the likes of Vincenzo Nibali, David Millar, Chris Froome, Chris Boardman (or ‘Broadman’ as some would have it), Marcel Kittel, Mrs Cavendish (Mark’s wife), Peter Sagan and the rest. Their endeavours, achievements, humour and occasional rancour, sit alongside his own decade-long quest for the ideal end-of-race T-shirt.Ned weaves together the interesting, amusing and unheralded threads of the race itself, and reflects on his own perennial struggle to get round, get on and get by. 101 Damnations encapsulates all that is incredible – and incredibly ordinary – about the greatest race on earth.
