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.

Great book! Very funny and full of good tips. We made the "towel-roll" chicken wings-- my buds were impressed. If you like watching football on TV then you should read this book.

After my wife finished her bachelors degree she announced that she now wanted to study football. Realizing I probably have the best wife in the history of the world, (at least since football was invented), I set out to help her accomplish her goal. She's been pretty into football for a number of years, but wanted to learn all of the terminology (such as Post Route, Slant, etc...), the detailed rules, and general history of the game including important players throughout the history of the game. She and I got on Amazon and bought about a half dozen football books, including this one.

Fortunately, my wife has a sense of humor, and isn't easily offended, or this book might have irritated her, as it is written with a distinctly and unashamedly male perspective. Less of a guide to the game than a humorous book that is related to football, it contains some real gems of anti PR. I actually read it cover to cover and found it entertaining, as did my wife, but if you're giving it to a woman, make sure they're not the sort who get their feathers ruffled easily.

The more I read, the more I laughed. However, as I continued to read, I suddenly realized how valuable this information is to me and every other football junkie out there!!!

A must-have for any football fan. Incredibly clever and extremely entertaining. Well done!

Bought it for my husband and he loves it. He's a huge football fan and he said there's lots of funny plays. He actually learned how to burn a NY Giants logo into our lawn--
