Despite-or perhaps because of-its immense popularity, the
NFL remains one of the most secretive sports in America.
John Feinstein goes behind the scenes of this closed sport
as he takes his readers through an NFL season-all the ups
and downs, the procession from 100 degree heat in training
camp to frigid cold in January, and the week-to-week
pressures faced by the coaches and players-in an incredibly
illuminating and entertaining look at the most lucrative
sport in America. NEXT MAN UP highlights the Baltimore
Ravens, one of the most watched and dramatic NFL teams in
recent years. Like many teams, the Ravens have faced
extreme obstacles-in their case, players in prison, under
indictment, and injured-but they+ve still managed to play
at an extremely high level, winning their first Super Bowl
in 2001 against the New York Giants. From the first
strategy sessions of a new season to the last down of the
final game, John Feinstein reveals the intensity,
spirituality, and near life-or-death drama of professional
football as it+s never been revealed before.
