Product Description
Year after year, Sunday afternoons and Monday nights during the NFL season have belonged to men. While they cheer and argue play calls, the women in their lives are relegated to beer and chip detail. It's time for these women to join the action, and Holly Robinson Peete, star of 21 Jump Street, For Your Love, and Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, and wife of NFL quarterback Rodney Peete, has written this hip, smart, cheerful guide to help them do so.Peete shares her infectious enthusiasm for pro football and takes the complexity out of the game by breaking it down to its component parts. 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.

Amazing for the football in any woman October 8, 2008
This book is awesome. It breaks down everything that has anything to do with football from the set-up to plays. Its just great and it is from a woman's prespective, which makes it understandable. I can't wait to wow people when I start talkin in this football jargon and keepin up with the boys.
 If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! October 4, 2008
This book was a fun read and I must say that I am that much more knowledgeable about the sport; yet still a good way to go! My husband has gotten a kick out of my new found interest and looks forward to Friday's to start the weekend trash talking!
Holly has made understanding the game less complex while offering historical information, from the origin of the game to who has the cutest butt! All jokes aside, I think Holly is credible, mixes good humor with wit and breaks the game down as a woman would, paying attention to the details! Since reading the book I have been able to connect with other women; sharing my excitement. I feel a sense of empowerment as they begin to ask the questions that they may have been embarrassed to ask over the years.
There were a few areas that I had to really focus my attention, but overall, I'd score this one a TOUCHDOWN!!!
I wish I had bought this earlier! September 8, 2008
I was raised watching football, everyone in my family is a sports nut. I always enjoyed watching but was embarrassed that there were alot of things that I didn't understand. I finally bought this book a few weeks ago and have not been able to put it down. Holly explains things the way that your best girlfriend would. But the book is not 'frilly', which I like. It's got the right amount of knowledge mixed with humor and personal stories. I'm really looking forward to finishing it a few days and then wow-ing my guy friends this Sunday. Great book for all level, I cannot say enough about it. Get In The Game Ladies!!
Great for people who know nothing about football September 3, 2008
Some gave her poor reviews but I think it's designed for those that want to learn(not know EVERYTHING) about football. Just to enjoy the game. I don't think she designed this for people who already know about football. I enjoyed reading and learned alot.
Thanks to her! I'm loving football March 31, 2008
I love it. It's funny but yet serious. I was able to enjoy myself reading the book. NOthing boring. Everything is in detail.
