An unrivaled portrait of day-to-day life in the NFL: "Riveting...An
instant classic." -- "New York Times Book Review"
By spending a year with the New York Jets, Nicholas Dawidoff
entered a mysterious and private world with its own rituals and
language. Equal parts "Paper Lion, Moneyball, Friday Night Lights,
"and "The Office, "this absorbing, funny, and vivid narrative gets
to the heart of a massive and stressful collective endeavor.
Here is football in many faces: the polarizing, brilliant, and
hilarious head coach; the general manager, whose job is to support
(and suppress) the irrepressible coach; the defensive coaches and
their in-house rivals, the offensive coaches; and of course the
players. Wise safeties, brooding linebackers, high-strung
cornerbacks, enthusiastic rookies, and a well-read nose tackle-they
make up a strange and complex family. Dawidoff makes an emblematic
NFL season come alive for fans and nonfans alike in a book about
football that will forever change the way people watch and think
about the sport.
