In this week’s “Conversations with Clayton,” I had the distinct pleasure to chat with Jack Gilden, author of Collision of Wills: Johnny Unitas, Don Shula, and the Rise of the Modern NFL. Collision of Wills is an instant classic. It is the story of two men’s relationship, their team and the town they represented.
In a wide-ranging discussion, Jack and I discussed his research process, the city of Baltimore and obstructed view seats at Baltimore’s Memorial Stadium.
