Book Log 2020 #45: Football for a Buck by Jeff Pearlman

This book looks back at the history of the USFL, the renegade spring football league that sought to challenge the NFL for top talent and fan dollars. Built off of hundreds of interviews with people formerly involved in the league, it gives an entertaining look into what was an often chaotic and amaetur operation. It's not quite as good as Terry Pluto's oral history of the American Basketball Association, Loose Balls, but it does fill in some of the missing stories from The $1 League, which tells the USFL story from more of an executive/ownership perspective.

It's worth reading if you're interested in football history, and may be easier to find than The $1 League, which is out of print.
