In 1928, against powerful Army, Notre Dame "won one for the Gipper" -- but who was the legend inspiring the upset? He was the ultimate rebel: George Gipp drank and gambled, and skipped classes, exams, and football practices. But when it counted, the whirlwind back beat the other teams running, passing, and kicking. And he was as skilled on the diamond as he was on the gridiron. Yet he flunked out of college. Women loved Gipp, with his baritone voice, wit, and nearly regal bearing, but he had only one girlfriend, who dumped him. And he chose to become close to only a few people. Though already famous to sports fans by 1920, Gipp dressed like a nonconformist, as if trying to hide his identity. The daughter of his South Bend friend George Hull, a prominent businessman, said that Gipp "was a handsome young man, unassuming and nonchalant.... People introduced to him were surprised to find out he was George Gipp." He was a swirling mass of contradictions, an existentialist before the term was coined. Through his own negligence, he died an early, tragic death. Maybe that's why he's remembered, but will he ever be understood? Read on....

He was a lovable rogue - a gambler, billiards champion, cardsharp, dance contest winner, college student - and perhaps the finest all-around athlete the world has ever known. He was a maverick, a loner, his own man, almost reclusive - yet he was loved and admired by millions while he was alive and mourned nationwide after he died at the young age of 25. He helped make the small midwestern college he attended the most famous university in the land. He was truly a "winner" - yet he could never win the heart of the only woman he ever really loved. He was the legendary George Gipp of Notre Dame, whose deathbed request to his coach, Knute Rockne, to "Win one for the Gipper" has long been a part of the American lexicon. But exactly who was this man? Why has his memory endured for more than three-quarters of a century? Author Patrick Chelland explores the legend and separates the myth from the truth and, as is often the case, truth is stranger than fiction. Chelland talked to Gipp's contemporaries - his family, friends, teammates, sports-writers - and has written by far the most comprehensive biography ever undertaken on the elusive Gipper. One For The Gipper is a piece of Americana that is a definite must-read.

Win one for The Gipper. Has there ever been a better-known and widely-used exhortative phrase in sports? Not likely. But who was the “Gipper,” this mythical-like sports figure whose nickname has aroused, in turn, awe, wonderment, curiosity, and amusement since the second decade of the twentieth century, and why is his story important? Answering those questions is the formidable task taken on here by veteran sportswriter Jack Cavanaugh, whose Pulitzer Prize-nominated biography of boxing legend Gene Tunney was referred to as “impressively researched and richly detailed” by Sports Illustrated. More than eight decades after his death, George Gipp is still regarded by football historians as Notre Dame’s best all-around player. And it was Gipp and his legendary coach, Knute Rockne, who were largely responsible for putting the small Midwestern all-male school on the map. Like Cavanaugh’s other critically acclaimed books, The Gipper is also a period piece, with a considerable focus on the era before, during, and immediately after WWI. It details the changes that the country underwent during that time, including the onset of Prohibition and the gangs that it spawned in the Midwest such as those active in the South Bend area and in nearby Chicago, headed by the notorious Al Capone.

Over the years since George Gipp's death at 25 in 1920, much of what has been written about the enigmatic young man has been based on sketchy research or downright fabrication. This book contradicts the latter with facts and first hand information about one of the greatest athletes of all time. While former president Ronald Reagan's name is synonymous with "The Gipper" because of his movie role as George Gipp, the story of the real "Gipper" is a fascinating one replete with not only gridiron heroics but intrigue, romance, humor, and pathos. This book includes exclusive accounts of everything from how Gipp really got the nickname "Gipper" to Notre Dame's rise to national football prominence under the Knute Rockne-coached teams led by Gipp. Other never-before-told historical surprises are in store within. Gipp, a great athlete, but also human, had frailties and virtues as we all do. This book is for everyone.

The New York Times bestseller about the historic dealings between Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neill—“A superb tribute to the neglected art of compromise” (Daily News (New York)). Tip and the Gipper is an “entertaining and insightful” (The Wall Street Journal) history of a time when two great political opponents served together for the benefit of the country. Chris Matthews was an eyewitness to this story as top aide to Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill, who waged a principled war of political ideals with President Ronald Reagan from 1980 to 1986. Together, the two men became one of history’s most celebrated political pairings—the epitome of how ideological opposites can get things done. When Reagan was elected to the presidency in a landslide victory over Jimmy Carter, Speaker O’Neill was thrust into the national spotlight as the highest-ranking leader of the Democratic Party—the most visible and respected challenger to President Reagan’s agenda of cutting the size of government programs and lowering tax rates. Together, the two leaders fought over the major issues of the day—welfare, taxes, covert military operations, and social security—but found their way to agreements that reformed taxes, saved Social Security, and, their common cause, set a course toward peace in Northern Ireland. Through it all they maintained respect for each other’s positions and worked to advance the country rather than obstruct progress. At the time of congressional gridlock, Tip and the Gipper stands as model behavior worthy of study by journalists, academics, and students of the political process for years to come. “This book is an invitation to join Tip and the Gipper in tall tales about how grand it was in the old country” (The Washington Post).
