Sack Exchange

"If you're one of those fans who stepped on the Jets bandwagon for the Rex Ryan-Mark Sanchez years, here's the story of an earlier, wild and woolly era." --New York Post ("Required Reading" selection)
 
Comprised of all-new, exclusive interviews with Jets players, head coaches, and those closest to the organization, Sack Exchange is not only an eye-opening account of the Jets from this time, but also of the National Football League as a whole.
 
The New York Sack Exchange was the nickname given to the New York Jets defensive line of the early 1980s, consisting of Mark Gastineau, Joe Klecko, Marty Lyons, and Abdul Salaam.
 
Examined are such topics as the beginning of the Jets-Dolphins rivalry, the controversial firing of head coach Walt Michaels and hiring of Joe Walton, the team's relationships behind the scenes, the emergence of Joe Klecko, the rise and fall of Mark Gastineau, steroid use among the Jets and in the NFL, the legendary Shea Stadium as well as never-before-heard stories and insight into the legacy of Joe Namath.
 
"Greg paints a picture where you feel like you're right in the locker room with these guys . . . or hanging out with them back in the day in the NYC clubs during the Koch era. There is not a single true Jets fan on the planet that shouldn't own this book." --Keith Roth, The Electric Ballroom Radio Show
 
"A great read and info from those days and it sure was interesting to see what all everyone had to say . . . Your book really brought back some great and wonderful memories." --Chuck Ramsey, Former New York Jets Punter
