Description

In this lively work of participatory sports journalism, a veteran professional football center invites readers behind the scenes of his final NFL training camp. Through candid dialogue and close observation, the book explores the physical demands, rituals, personalities, and evolving culture of professional football during a transformative decade. It offers an intimate portrait of a player confronting the end of one career while reflecting on the game’s changes from 1965 to 1975. Witty, conversational, and richly reported, the narrative captures both the camaraderie of the locker room and the pressures of life in the pros.
