Football Uncyclopedia

    Football Uncyclopedia follows in the cleated footsteps of the recent Baseball Uncyclopedia to once again debunk some of the myths and widely held beliefs of one of America's most popular sports.

     With a blend of writing comprised of statistical analysis, opinion (lots of opinion), a love for the game, and a healthy dash of sarcastic humor, authors Michael Kun and Adam Hoff argue against some of the mythology and beliefs that characterize the game of football. No subject or topic is off limits. The greatness of the 1972 Miami Dolphins? Skewered. America's Team? Put in its place. Pittsburgh's Berkowitz Fish Sandwich? Praised, obviously. Joe Namath? Well, he gets a little bit of everything.

     The Football Uncyclopedia sets straight widely held believes about everything from stadiums, owners (and not just a handful of them), revered champions, and entire cities. It rushes to the defense of everyone from Shaun Alexander to Kurt Warner and of everything from the Heisman Trophy to Randall Cunningham's marble business.

     It spends an inordinate amount of time discussing uniforms. It focuses on player legacies and NFL history and hot-button issues, but it also delves into topics like celebrity misbehavior, on-air kisses, and the film Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

     In short, this book covers the huge names, the tiny nuances, and everything in between that make the game of football an American phenomenon.
