The first African American to hold the job of equipment manager in the NFL, Brooks was tasked with seeing that each player left the locker room in uniform. But the means to that end was far more complicated--and outrageous--than one would believe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eTales from the Chargers Sideline\u003c\/i\u003e, Sid recounts stories unique to a life spent working behind the scenes in the Chargers locker room. He features stories about Chargers greats like Dan Fouts, Charlie Joiner, Kellen Winslow, Louie Kelcher, John Jefferson, Rodney Harrison, and Junior Seau. With an eye for detail, he recounts tales of spies sent out to capture the opposing team's playbooks; the night the lights went out on Don Shula; wild cab rides; the zany pregame rituals and idiosyncrasies; rivalries born not on the playing field, but at the dominoes table; and plenty of pranks and good-natured ribbing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrimming with hilarity, insight, and fascinating behind-the-scenes stories, \u003ci\u003eTales from the Chargers Sideline\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-read for every Chargers devotee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sid Brooks,Gerri Brooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1683581202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683581208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sports Publishing LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.70w x 0.90d","brand":"Sid Brooks","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419554267391,"sku":"9781683581208","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b22611a3-d747-4002-a413-289a9169a0c2.jpg?v=1761512309","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tales-from-the-chargers-sideline-sid-brooks-9781683581208","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
