About Author
DAN PASTORINI
Dan Pastorini is a retired NFL quarterback who spent 13 years in the league with four different teams. Prior to his time in the NFL, Pastorini played his college football at Santa Clara University, playing well enough to be drafted in the first round of the 1971 NFL Draft by the Houston Oilers. In nine seasons with Houston, Pastorini was a one time Pro Bowler and emerged as one of the top QBs in the league. In 1980, the Oilers traded Pastorini to the Oakland Raiders, where he would spend one season, winning his first and only Super Bowl at Super Bowl XV. Following a season with the Los Angeles Rams and two with the Philadelphia Eagles, Pastorini retired from football, turning his focus to professional drag racing. While competing in the NHRA, Pastorini won several competitions in the Top Fuel category, only adding to his legend.
DAN PASTORINI WITH JOHN P. LOPEZ
Taking Flak LIFE IN THE FAST LANE
The story of a glorious, uninhibited era and an NFL legend and drag racing icon who lived on the brink.
It was like Camelot. And Dante “Giuseppe” Antonio Pastorini was King. He was royalty, even to his teammates. He could throw a football 80 yards. When he walked into a room, women fell at his feet. He raced cars. He raced boats. He had a big heart. And he was one tough S.O.B. We were complete opposites, the Playboy and the Hayseed. I never knew a man like Dante Pastorini. And there never will be another like him.
