She explains the role of each position player, provides a rundown of all on-field penalties and referees' hand signals, and offers an illustrated guide to some of the most common plays in the NFL. She gives her take on the most memorable plays in NFL history and dishes some inside dirt-in a breezy, girl-talkin' narrative that promises to turn the novice spectator into a well-informed football fanatic.… (plus d'informations)
An introduction to American pro football, written for the complete novice.
I read part of this book and ended up skimming the rest because I had to return it to the library.
