Football matters because, at its best, the game illustrates life at its most exuberant and most passionate and most emotionally heightened.
The book is a love letter to football - a poignant, informative and at times hilarious look at what makes the gridiron game such a part of American culture.
For football fans like this reviewer, the book is an absolute must-read. But it should be accessible to the football-averse, too, with its brilliant writing.
The intersection of football and pop culture, as explored through moments like Dan Devine's portrayal in Rudy, might alone warrant the book's purchase.
