For any sports fan, When the Game Is on the Line offers unique entrée to the high-octane world where big business, big politics, and big sports meet, where multi-million dollar deals are sealed with a handshake or scuttled because of personal vendettas. The consummate negotiator, Rick Horrow moves with ease among back-stabbing politicians, swaggering team owners, opportunistic athletes, investors, lawyers, developers, and community leaders - all with a stake in the outcome.
When the Game Is on the Line tells the stories behind the stories - of the deals Rick has brokered and the people he has tangled with, including:
