More than a Game: The Glorious Present and Uncertain Future of the NFL by Brian Billick

5.0

A fabulous and current read about the NFL. While there have been other books written in this vein, Billick's is unique in that it's current and written in a year where he's almost immediately removed from his coaching gig. It was also current enough to include important off season changes and situations, ie.e Lynch's gun issues. The book also went in depth into the game's history to touch on things such as situations - what would Archie Manning have been like if he played with teams that were as good as his sons? Billick touched on his background as HC with the Ravens and OC for the Vikings (especially relevant with the Vikings success here in 2009) to write a book that drew the fans into questions they may or may not have otherwise realized. He also touched on combine situations and drafting questions without getting deep into territory of other books that focus there, such as The Draft. A great read for all levels of football fan
