Has anyone read "The League: The Rise and Decline of the NFL" by David Harris?

Pretty (ok, VERY) dry, details the time period surrounding Al Davis's lawsuit against the NFL over the ability to move his franchise. It starts around the time of the AFL-NFL merger, through the seventies, the USFL, the 1982 strike and the conclusion of the suit in 1984.

It talks about the personalities of many of the owners during that period, who they allied with, etc. It also gives some brief detail on the TV fallout after the '82 strike, when the networks were losing money.
