Summary of Peter Richmond's Badasses

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The 1972 AFC playoffs were the first postseason appearance for the Raiders in four decades. The team was met with fans who were ready to celebrate, but were blocked from getting to the hotel by police. Moore and several other players decided to confront the police officers themselves. #2 Moore’s first Badass proclamation was when he called a riot-squad cop a motherfucker. He lusted for Raider retaliation, and when the state of Pennsylvania offered him a deal not to sue the police if he didn’t talk to the press, Moore refused and was arrested. #3 The Immaculate Reception is often referred to as the greatest sports miracle in history. But what exactly does the phrase Immaculate Reception imply other than that it took Outside Help to defeat Oakland’s Army of the Night on December 8, 1972. #4 The Raiders’ plane had developed engine trouble at the start of their trip, and a replacement couldn’t come in because of the fog. They had to bus to San Francisco for another flight east.
