Gritty tale about the business of football. Somewhat predictable but still a fun vacation read.

The writing style was a bit frenetic. I don't know if it was done purposefully to convey a mood or if this is just how Mike Lupica writes. He clearly wrote with people who don't know football in mind and wound up over explaining himself in places because of that. Overall I enjoyed the book and would probably read more by him.

Not many likeable people in this book. It's about a guy who works for a mafia-type guy in Vegas. He inherits half an owning interest in a New York football team when his dad dies. Ick. All the players are creeps: sexist druggies who are really much more interested in money & sex than football; actually so is everyone else. All of the women are awful too. The author is a sportswriter, so I guess he knows what he's talking about, sad as that makes me.
