America's Game

Yesterday I finished reading "America's Game" by Michael MacCambridge. It was about--you guessed it--pro football and how it has surpassed baseball to become America's best loved sport. Why do I like football better? While I enjoy watching baseball in person, on TV it just isn't as exciting. There's something primitive about football: watching grown men slam each other into the mud. In a world of Oprah-tized men who are encouraged to show their "feelings", football takes us back to their cave men like roots, and I must admit, I like it. Maybe it's not politically correct, but it's true. And this was a great book about great men playing a great game, full of fun details and interesting tidbits.
