Editorial Reviews

Review

"Football widows everywhere--sneer from the kitchen no more! With this coffee-table book, you'll not only know your "button-hooks" from your "crackbacks," you'll discover that "eligible receivers" are quite different from "hot men" (defined in the glossary as th eonly two men allowed to immediately leave the punt formation when the ball is snapped). The book covers a gamut from understanding the psychology of men and sports to basic game strategy (making sense of those X's and O's) to football history. Suzanna explains the roles of seven referees (complete with handy drawings of their signals), provides an overview of each NFL team and gets into football fashion, dissecting the more than a dozen pieces of gear to fortify against collisions of 66,000 pounds." --http://yodel.yahoo.com/2007/02/01/listen-up-football-widows/

This review is from: Putting on the Blitz: The Football Book for Women (Hardcover)

I am not a fan of American Football. One of the reasons is lack of understanding of the game. This book explains the complex game in a plain, straight forward way, from the spectators' view.

I finished the 202 pages, lots of pictures book in one day. I highly appreciate the author's expertise on American Football and the way she describes all the things for easy reading.

Ladies, if you are dating a sports guy, get the book to show off your football knowledge! Gentlemen, if you want to learn football, get the book! It is definitely on my bookshelf for the upcoming football season. :)
