Description:

So you can't tell a T-formation from a kicking tee? Not to worry. Former MVP quarterback Joe Theismann explains even the most complex aspects of a complex game in a conversational style with plenty of easily understandable illustrations and diagrams in this entertaining addition to the ever useful Idiot's Guide. Beginning with the lure and lore of the sport, he moves quickly downfield to the elementary rules and basic fundamentals of play before going deep into the technical aspects of the strategies behind nickel packages, zone blitzes, and special teams. After years in the announcer's booth, Theismann is quite savvy about the media and its role in the game, which he expounds on with obvious delight. He tackles the business aspects of the NFL with the same acumen he used to read defenses.
