I am loving football now! February 23, 2008
I have become a football fanatic and this book is part of the reason! It's funny and informative and a good read all around.
Great for Dating a Football Lover January 5, 2008
This book really inspires me to try to get to know the game of football a little better. Every football season I feel like I should care more about the game to connect with my significant other. After reading this, I have the basic knowledge to start my own passion for football.
Fun read! January 1, 2008
This is a fun look at football! Holly Robinson Peete uses such a converstational tone, it seems like she's talking directly to you. It is helpful to a novice football fan, but also enjoyable to someone who has logged in several hours on the couch on Saturday or Sunday.
 Great coffe table reference for women October 21, 2007
I have watched football for years. I understand the basics but wanted to know more about intricacies of the game, such as play calling. This book does a pretty good job covering both the basics and the intricacies. It is a little sophomoric at times and definitely for women only. As in, "So and so has the nicest butt in a uniform." "The quarterback is the player who starts the play; you'll know the defense is on the field when the quarterback isn't." So Holly starts the lesson from the beginning--the VERY beginning.
I highly doubt there is an American male over the age of 10 who doesn't know who the quarterback is, but I imagine there are some women out there who have never watched a football game or never heard about a football game. These women I speak of are clearly NOT from Texas. Because, man or woman, you have to be in a coma to live in Texas and not know everything there is to know about football.
I could have done without the chapter on NFL wives (yawn, who cares), but this is a book marketed to women so fluff is to be expected. Be it out of jealousy (at least I am being honest) or disinterest, I have no desire to read about the trials and tribulations of being a rich NFL wife. I saw that chapter title and skipped straight to next chapter.
A few more graphics would have been nice to aid in understanding what she was explaining, but good job overall in covering the ins-and-outs of what is happening on the field from start to finish. Now when the announcers mention a "slant" or "play action" I know what they are talking about or can look it up. Great reference book to have on the coffee table during football season. I wish I had this book years ago.
I now LOVE football!!! October 11, 2007
This book has saved me from looking like an idiot on Sundays! Even my boyfriend is impressed with the information in this book!
