Want to know what everyone is cheering about? Learn to
enjoy and understand the game with the football fanatic in
your life. This book is the ultimate football guide for the
novice fan. You will get answers to such complex questions
as: What is that yellow line on the field and why does it
keep moving? What down is it and why do I care? What is
a 'T formation'? Laced with hilarious and insightful
anecdotes from Mark Oristano's thirty-year career as a pro
football sportscaster, A Sportscaster's Guide to Watching
Football will turn you into a football-watching pro, or at
least, let you fake it. Time Out: I was in the locker room
before a game, and I saw an Oilers linebacker furiously
drawing on his shoes with a permanent marker. This player,
like many, had his ankle tape applied over the outside of
his shoes instead of inside, which obviously covered the
shoe logo. And he was drawing the logo of his shoe contract
on the tape. "Wouldn't it be easier," I asked him, "to get
taped inside and not have to do the artwork?" "Yeah, it
would," he replied, "but then I'd actually have to wear
their damn shoes, and I hate 'em. So I wear the brand I
like and do it this way instead."
