    Month: August 2018

    Join us at AUTHOR’S NIGHT this WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 3 at 6:30 as UPTON BELL discuss his recent book “PRESENT AT THE CREATION: MY LIFE IN THE NFL AND THE RISE OF AMERICA’S GAME.”

    Over the past fifty-three years, Upton Bell has been an owner, a general manager, a personnel executive, a scouting director for two Super Bowl teams, a television commentator and analyst, and a talk-radio host. He has seen the NFL from the inside and has experienced many of the most important moments in NFL history.

    Upton Bell grew up at the knee of the NFL’s first great commissioner, his father, the legendary Bert Bell, who not only saved the game from financial ruin after World War II but was one of its greatest innovators. Present at the Creationdetails Bell’s firsthand experiences, which started as he watched his father draw up the league schedule each year at the kitchen table using dominoes.

    “Upton Bell did not grow up like you and me. Your father was not the NFL commissioner…And, no offense, I doubt you are as funny or insightful as Upton Bell is on a variety of topics. This is an extraordinary life story of a unique individual.” –Bob Ryan, Boston Globe

    Upton Bell was player personnel director for the Baltimore Colts when the team played in three championship games and appeared in two Super Bowls (1968 and 1970). At thirty-three, he became the youngest general manager in NFL history when he joined the Patriots in that role in 1971. He left the NFL in 1974 to compete against it, joining the upstart World Football League as owner of the Charlotte Hornets, which lasted just two years.

    In 1976 Bell began his forty‑year career as a radio and TV talk-show host, yet he remains a football guy who was in the middle of the game’s most significant moments and knows that half the story has never been told, until now.
