Title: All the Right Pieces
Product review: I concur with the previous reviewer that this is the best book on NFL history ever written. It has all the right pieces: good research with relevant detail, but no so much detail that it clutters the prose; excellent biographical sketches without being too laudatory; and an astute command of the development of the game via strategy and innovations. Most sports' histories get wrapped up in platitudes and overstatements; not here, it stays on track and cites the highs but doesnt ignore the warts and unseemly parts. It is fluid writing with a comfortable pace and well organized divisions by topic. An absolute must read for those who delight in the colorful history of America's favorite spectator sport.
