Pro Football Junkie? Gotta Check This Out!by Anonymous

July 15, 2001: Back before the proliferation of true free-agency and multi-million dollar bonuses for rookies, pro football players were still real people. Former NFL defensive lineman Pat Toomay provides a yeoman's perspective on The NFL of the early 70's and debunks any idyllic image of the Dallas Cowboys, which had characteristics of an evil empire, presided over by Tom Landry, Gil Brandt, and Tex Scrhamm. Raunchy humor and blatant character assasination -- but it's all real and all hilarious. Roger Staubach in his underwear with a pair of babes?!?!? Classic stuff. Much more enjoyable than Pete Gent's fictitious Cowboy send-up 'North Dallas Forty', this book ranks with Roy Blout, Jr.'s classic 'About Three Bricks Shy of a Load' when it comes to getting inside a pro football team. Even a quarter of a century later, this is essential reading for the true pro football fan.

July 02, 2001: I felt while reading this book that I was getting an insiders view of the personal poetry of brutes with big muscles and bigger hearts. The sense of the ordeal one goes through in football is captured with humor. The folly of our competitive society is exposed in the observations of this book.
