A great book by Mike Florio.  He details how the NFL works and sometimes the league is not so nice.  A grear read for NFL fans!

It’s clear Florio does not like the game of football…which understandably makes the tone of his writing distinctly feel covered in a wet blanket. Not an enjoyable read at any level.

This was an interesting tour of pro football. I liked the candor and the suggested solutions to problems the NFL faces.

It’s an interesting look behind the curtain, and when looked at in totality, a relatively condemning view of the entire pro football endeavor, and how willing we are as consumers to turn a blind eye to the industry’s many failings.

It did feel a bit disjointed. More collection of articles that a holistic book wrapped around a thesis. I didn’t really go into this with expectations so that seemed fine. My main goal was to learn more about football and stop losing in my fantasy league. I do not think the book helps with the losing part but that’s more an error on my part than the authors. As far as the learning more about the league, it’s plenty good.
