A while back, I started working on a book about football, and pretty quickly realized that it would be an examination of conscience, the process of a life-long football fan asking “why is football such a big deal, such a quintessentially American big deal, and how important should the game really be?”

As of June 8, 2016, the book is available at this “e-store.”
