Sports Illustrated Monday Morning Quarterback: A Fully Caffeinated Guide to Everything You Need to Know About the NFL

by Peter King, Larry Burke (Editor)

Overview

More than two million people a week rush to SI.com to read Peter King's column, Monday Morning Quarterback. There they find a potent mix of analysis, opinion, humor and inside-the-NFL locker-room information delivered as no one else can. In this book, King, the award-winning Sports Illustrated pro football writer, brings the same blend of wit and wisdom, ranging from his famous "10 Things I Think I Think" to his Top 100 player rankings; from the football clichés he hates to the coaching hires he loves; from Brett Favre's golf game to Peyton Manning's comedic skills. And all freshly flavored with King's inimitable observations on the best hotels, the worst airports, the greatest traditions-and coffee, coffee, coffee. There is no journalist better connected to the NFL's players, coaches, general managers and owners, and no writer renders the inside information as entertainingly as Peter King.

Editorial Reviews

Award-winning Sports Illustrated senior writer Peter King lives on coffee and football, not necessarily in that order. His quick wit, keen perception, and straight-talking style have made his "Monday Morning Quarterback" articles, internet "postcards," and frequent TV appearances favorites among fans who want to go beyond last year's statistics. In Monday Morning Quarterback the book, he dispenses highly caffeinated wisdom about every imaginable aspect of our second national sport, from on-field attributes to off-field shenanigans. Like his columns, this book is filled with sidebar lists, rankings, and other treats.
