Overview

Based on the increasingly popular weekly football commentary on the e-zine Slate, Tuesday Morning Quarterback showcases the esoteric humor that has made Gregg Easterbrook's column a hit with sports fans on the Internet. By using Zen poetry, Newtonian physics, historical allusions, and other conceits, Easterbrook creates a fresh, ironic commentary to the philosophy of the game. Including mostly original material as well as a handful of classic TMQ commentary from his column, this book, in the wry humorous tradition of Golf in the Kingdom, The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook, and O Holy Cow! The Selected Verse of Phil Rizzuto, is an intriguingly oddball yet right-on-the-money examination of football and its culture. ...

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Titled after his thoughtful Slate column, Tuesday Morning Quarterback: Haiku and Whimsical Observations to Help You Understand the Modern Game presses sportswriter Gregg Easterbrook's commentary into metrical service. His one rule: "literary merit optional." How else to explain gems like "Ideally, don't play./ Fans wince when I trot on field./ I am the Punter." Indeed. Yet Easterbrook has the lefty egghead sportsnut market locked up in addition to his Slate duties, he's a contributing editor at the Atlantic Monthly, and a senior editor at the New Republic. He's also the author of what the press chat calls "the landmark eco-realist book," A Moment on the Earth: The Coming of Age of Environmental Optimism. This little square book (5 1/2" 6 1/4") includes 40 b&w illustrations, mostly of old-style gridiron action. (Sept.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

    Fun, but awful short.

    'Tuesday Morning Quarterback' is a fine read. It's worth checking out. The only problem is that it's very, very short. In addition to having a small page count, many pages are filled with photos (amusingly, of 1940s football players practicing) and his haikus. If it were a cheap little paperback, I'd give it four stars, but as a pricey hardcover, I gotta go with three. I love this guy's Tuesday Morning QB column in 'Slate.'
