{"product_id":"9781629371672","title":"Doug Buffone: Monster of the Midway: My 50 Years Livin' and Dyin' with the Chicago Bears","description":"\u003cbr\u003eFew athletes become as synonymous with their town as Doug Buffone was with Chicago. Though he came from the hard hills of Pennsylvania, he came to embody everything Chicagoans love. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDoug was taken too young, passing away suddenly on April 20, 2015, shortly after finishing this book with famed sportscaster Chet Coppock. Doug’s was a life well-lived—he was tough enough for Papa Bear George Halas and never afraid to speak his mind. Doug Buffone lived life his way and pulled no punches. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHe grew up in Yatesboro, Pennsylvania, and found his way to the Chicago Bears by way of the Louisville Cardinals. And even though he played with Hall of Famers like Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers, Doug never experienced championships as he battled through the brutal NFL of the 1970s. But in many ways it was after his career that Doug achieved greatness, because that’s when the radio introduced us to the fiery, hilarious “Uncle Doug” that we all came to love. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHe felt each Bears win and loss with to-the-bone passion. He lived his life fully and in his book you will find unbelievable stories of celebrities and superstars, of fights and camaraderie and crazy nights, of a man who lived his life his way.","brand":"Triumph Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037091741936,"sku":"9781629371672","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781629371672_p0.jpg?v=1763870068","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781629371672","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
