Product Description
Every weekend from August through January, 25 million Americans plop into their Lay-Z-Boys, crack open a beer, and watch football on television. At last, here is an illustrated book that celebrates their pastime and codifies their culture of extreme devotion like no other. The Armchair Quarterback Playbook is both hilarious and authentic, and is designed like a real football playbook complete with modified X and O diagrams. Everything a stay-at-home fan needs to know is here: how to redirect an interfering spouse ("The Listen and Respond Fake"), methods for keeping children at bay ("Intentional Grounding), equipment and etiquette tips, game food recipes, armchair quarterback vernacular, and more. Written by a certified "AQ," this is the perfect book for the football fanatic.

5 out of 5 stars HYSTERICAL!! And remarkably educational   September 13, 2007
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.


5 out of 5 stars Calling all football fans...   September 6, 2007
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.


5 out of 5 stars CLEVER and ENTERTAINING   September 5, 2007

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!
