2nd Place: How Football Explains America
(List price: $24.95)

How Football Explains America shows how at the heart of this country’s real pastime is an insatiable need for storytelling and mythmaking, how Johnny Unitas is like John Wayne and Joe Montana is like Luke Skywalker, how the game grew up when pioneers and cowboys set out to write America’s story across the West, and how football was a game that perfectly explained that march across the continent.

“Football explains America,” says NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, “because the game is about teamwork and camaraderie, competition and passion, strategy and energy, strength and emotion. You can look at football and see the heart of America.”

How Football Explains America takes you through a fascinating historical and cultural journey, using the intrigue, skullduggery, and drama of the 2007 NFL season–the quest for perfection and triumph of an underdog against all odds–to tell the story of a game and a nation that have been sewn together and explain how we live, work, and play.

This was an awesome read and would be great for any football lover.
