The book that made a legend--and capture's America's sport in
detail that's never been matched, now featuring a foreword by
Nicholas Dawidoff a and never-before-seen content from the Plimpton
Archives. George Plimpton was perhaps best known for PAPER LION,
the book that set the bar for participatory sports journalism. With
his characteristic wit, Plimpton recounts his experiences in
talking his way into training camp with the Detroit Lions,
practicing with the team, and taking snaps behind center. His
breezy style captures the pressures and tensions rookies confront,
the hijinks that pervade when sixty high-strung guys live together
in close quarters, and a host of football rites and rituals. One of
the funniest and most insightful books ever written on football,
PAPER LION is a classic look at the gridiron game and a book The
Wall Street Journal calls "a continuous feast...The best book ever
about football--or anything!"
