You'd think every guy in America (if not the whole planet) knew the details of football. Well, some -- albeit not many -- do not. It was late in life that my interest in football (NFL & collegiate) really sparked, and I wanted to know much more about the strategy and workings of the game. First I got the Idiot's Guide, and it was fine. Then I got the Dummies book, and it helped as well. But I was still confused on the very basics, which is "who is what player and how do they fit into the game?"
So, when I stumbled across Snot Bubbles, it looked to be worth a try. Good choice! It does cover the very basics, and does so very well!!!
So, to anyone else that really wants to know the absolute basics, this is a book to read.
The others -- Idiot's and Dummies -- are also fine, although they are more detailed. The Idiot's does an especially good job of explaining things worth knowing, like what is a Color Analyst, or a Hail Mary, and what do you mean by Snot Bubbles????

Ladies! Football widows! It's football season again. And you still don't know a thing about it! Well, that can change. Snot Bubbles is the definitive answer. Written by a former non-fan whose kid got into the game, Snot Bubbles will teach you what "yardage" is, why who does what when, and what it all means. Catch up with the "know-it-alls" of the game and sound intelligent. Maybe it will earn you some beer and popcorn!

At the very least, you will laugh yourself silly at all the antics you finally understand. Then you can go shopping.

5.0 out of 5 stars REALLY HELPFUL, May 6, 2002

This review is from: Snot Bubbles! A Football Primer for Moms, Wives & Significant Others (Paperback)

This book is a MUST for those of you who are (a) a mother, (b) a wife, (c) a sister, or (d) a girlfriend of a football player or fan. If you have ever been confused about some rule or infraction of the game, read this book. As a cheerleader and sister and daughter, i have found that reading this book has not only helped in my comprehension of football, but I impress many of my hard-core guy football friends with my endless knowledge of the game. I'm a hit at every Superbowl party. Though football can be very confusing for the average female spectator, reading this comprehensive book will definately help.
