This exhilarating account skips the unforgettable athletic achievements,
heroic performers, and exhilarating moments that remind fans of
everything they love about sports and honest competition and gives the
real skinny on football's unknown history. Author Robert Schnakenberg
takes readers through a decidedly snarky trip through the game's rich
history of buffoonery, thuggery, fashion missteps, acting careers gone
awry, barrel-wearing superfans, touchdown dances, overzealous mascots,
needlepoint-loving defensive tackles, unwatchable football-themed
movies, and hundreds of other unbelievable-but-true aspects of America's
most popular spectator sport.
