The only thing I knew about football was from watching it on TV.I picked up enough information to enjoy the game, but occassionally I got perplexed by commentator remarks and wished I knew what they were talking about.SoI bought the "Idiot's Guide to Football", learned a lot more, butstill felt unfulfilled.Then I broke down and bought another book, the"Dummies" version, and got exactly what I wanted.This bookcovers much more detail and doesn't talk down to you.The Idiot's version,while trying to be humorous, succeeds only in insulting your intelligence.If one were to absorb all that is contained in "Football forDummies", you may not get any calls for head coaching jobs, but you'llcertainly better understand the jargon and the meaning behind a lot of thedecisions that are made during and before a game. It even covers teammotivation, player training and diet, fantasy leagues, the draft, gamescheduling, high school and college football information, and a fairlylarge football- speak section that covers more ground that most otherglossaries I've seen.This book contains everything you need know aboutfootball to understand and enjoy the game.Product Description
