This review is from: The Armchair Quarterback Playbook: The Ultimate Guide to Watching Football (Paperback)
I purchased this book for a christmas present thinking it would actually give football plays with diagrams. Instead it's just about how to organize the dip, and where to sit when watching football. OK book if that's what you are looking for.

Not just a light humor book. It's actually very insightful. Very well-organized, with tips throughout on things like fantasy picks and best of all, dealing with significant others. (Including a hysterical section on how to massage while watching the game.) For such a small book, it's packed with useful info...recipes, sports references, resources. Unbelievable. I highly recommend getting it while the football season is still in its nascient stages. Has already made my season that much more enjoyable.
