"Tom Beer's career in the NFL has been downhill all the way and his wry perspeictive from the bottom of the heap underscores this unique view of the game of professional football ... Written with a light touch and a strong sense of the absurd, the story is nevertheless not always a funny one. Beer takes a relentless look at the recruitment of collegiate players, the game as seen through the eyes of the ignorant rookie, the pressure on coaches and players, the off-field activities of the players, and the connivings of the press for the 'hot" story. His account on the effects of extended losses on an entire pro organization from head coach to water boy is both harrowing and hilarious. " 12-page b/w photo section.. G+/G .

But it's also Red on how to deal with drugs in sports; on heroes and celebrities, and why we have so many of the latter and so few of the former; and on the dangers in any kind of business that follow from losing sight of what the customers want.

"Tom Beer's career in the NFL has been downhill all the way and his wry perspeictive from the bottom of the heap underscores this unique view of the game of professional football ... Written with a light touch and a strong sense of the absurd, the story is nevertheless not always a funny one. Beer takes a relentless look at the recruitment of collegiate players, the game as seen through the eyes of the ignorant rookie, the pressure on coaches and players, the off-field activities of the players, and the connivings of the press for the 'hot" story. His account on the effects of extended losses on an entire pro organization from head coach to water boy is both harrowing and hilarious. " 12-page b/w photo section.. G+/G .
