Book Reviews of The Dark Side of the Game: My Life in the NFL
Book Review: Non-Fiction
Summary: 3 Stars
An interesting look at what goes on with players.
The parts dealing with injury, pain and the processes players have to go through to get into the league are some of the better content in this book.
Green is somewhat critical of the NFL, but when it comes to the crunch, given he was still involved with the game, soft-pedals the hard issues as far as actual details, proof, or any of that sort of thing as far as illegal activities and cheating goes.
Still, those interested in the NFL at a deeper level will find this worth a look.
Summary of The Dark Side of the Game: My Life in the NFL
Tim Green is proof that all football players aren't meat-headed Neanderthals. Green, an ex-player who has made his mark as a commentator on National Public Radio and the Fox Network, shows both his love of the game and his insights into its problems in this collection of some 70 essays on his experience in the National Football League. From the physical brutality of the sport -- he suffered 12 concussions as a player -- to the use of performance enhancing drugs, to the sport's connections with the mob, Green writes clearly and evenly about the dilemmas and deals the most professional football fans know nothing about -- the dark side to America's favorite pastime.Tim Green is proof that all football players aren't meat-headed Neanderthals.
