Join Ken Belson, a veteran New York Times reporter, for a look into his new book, "Every Day Is Sunday: How Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft, and Roger Goodell Turned the NFL Into a Cultural & Economic Juggernaut."

Named one of Barnes & Noble's Best Sports Books of 2025, this deeply reported insider account reveals how the NFL became the country's preeminent cultural and economic institution. Belson takes you behind the scenes with the powerbrokers of the country's largest sports league — owners, networks, players union and more. You'll meet key figures, get inside their meetings and see how they used their size and leverage (not unlike a running back) to bulldoze competitors in their way.

Belson is a reporter for the New York Times, specializing in the business of sports. His book offers something for sports fans, business readers and anyone curious about how the NFL became the country's last form of mass media.
