Football for dummies December 26, 2007
This book includes the essentials I was looking for. Specifically, the offensive and defensive formations such as, cover two.
 Just like the title states... September 4, 2007
My son got this because he was going to try football this year, well it didn't work out, so I think I'm going to sell the book. It does have a lot of info though. Definitely good book for beginners.
Non Fiction September 3, 2007
Football for Dummies by Howie Long is actually a reasonable book. It would probably be ok for showing to non-yanks, as well, to try and fill them in on the basics of the gridiron, and how it is covered and watched.
Gives detail on positions, downs, the basic rules, all the sort of useful information for the casual viewer or those starting to want to learn.

I love Howie Long. Let me just get that out of the way. His inimitable style on Fox NFL Sunday just gets the perfect platform with the publishing of his Football for Dummies book. Howie makes it clear that his guide to the ins and outs of football is not just for the novice fan. He takes great pains to be as thorough and yet, as entertaining as he can, while delving into the mechanics and the glories of the sport he devoted his life and his heart to. A great reference to pull off the shelf when you don't understand why the ref made the call he just made, or how the game works when your spouse is too busy watching the game to explain it to you. :-)
My husband, yes my husband watches Football with me now March 8, 2007
