Monteleoni has to deal with the most under-written part of Frederick Knott's stage play. Because Rote's cold-blooded instincts are reigned in for so much of the play and only occasionally burst into flame, the trick is to maintain consistency without flattening the role (Tarantino, in his Broadway role, completely overplayed the part, turning Rote into a caricature doomed from the outset).

The squabbling owners faced serious competition from the newly formed American Football League, bankrolled by one of the richest men in America, Lamar Hunt. Rozelle's first trick, one that Rockefeller would have admired, was to put an end to the unprofitable competition. In 1962 he traveled to Washington and persuaded Congress to grant the NFL the first of two exemptions to the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. The exemption enabled Rozelle to fold the two leagues into...
