Book excerpt: The popular college football analyst weighs in on the craziness of college football and the 2008 season If television's college football analysts had a Hall of Fame, Craig James would definitely be in it. His opinion and insight on ABC and ESPN-not to mention occasional jabs of sharp humor and Texas charm-are as addictive as the games are. Game Day takes a complete inside look at the 2008 college football season-from James's behind-the-scenes Spring Tour when he met with players and coaches from twenty top programs to the bowl season. He makes the book timeless by using the season as a springboard to tell tons of great college football stories from his twenty years spent covering the sport . Captures twenty years of unforgettable college football wit and wisdom from his time as a player at SMU and for the New England Patriots through his time in the booth Includes details about most of the top twenty programs around the country Covers the game the way only James can ("No one can capture the essence and spirit of a college football season better than Craig."-Doug Flutie) No matter what team you support or how well they did in 2008, if you love college football, Game Day is a book you just have to read.

Book excerpt: A fun, intelligent, and useful guide to understanding the nuanced language of soccer Every week, year-round, legions of devoted soccer fans across the country rise at the crack of dawn or quietly sneak out of work to watch their favorite teams play across the pond—complete with a soundtrack of two cheeky Englishmen spouting a stream of trite phrases and curious words that make maddeningly little sense. They’ll chat about flying teacups and cultured left feet, or point out a player who’s jinking through the corridor of uncertainty, hoping to bag one with aplomb. Confused? Many Brits are, too. In Football Clichés, London-based soccer writer Adam Hurrey amusingly translates the idioms of the sport, from the quaint to the ridiculous. Here you’ll find words for parts of the field and parts of the body; for ways to score a goal and ways to run, walk, or fake an injury. You’ll learn to read the shifting moods of fans at a soccer match and encounter the game’s oddly expressive gestures, which include the muted celebration and the beleaguered manager clap. Perfect for the die-hard or fair-weather fan, Football Clichés celebrates the world of soccer in all its glory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late esteemed columnist, Mary McGrory, once wrote: "Baseball is what we were. Football is what we have become." The notion that sports in general, and football in particular, represent a microcosm of our society is compelling indeed, as we conjour thoughts of an intensively competitive society, fast-paced, non-stop action and only barely controlled aggression. How are we to understand the role of football, American-style, with stadiums brimming with the intensity of college alums and dedicated Sunday worshippers, in our modern lives and in our contemporary rousing world of incessant stimulation? Who better to address questions of football and society than youngsters, ages 7-14, who absorb cultural trends and study the world around as a means of comprehending the complex and sometimes chaotic world of adults? Moreover, children also play football in great numbers, whether simply in their backyards, as participants in flag or touch football, or as the primary players on the stage of the sometimes controversial youth tackle football, with its charming miniaturization of adult football formations and its less endearing propensity for youth concussions and boorish adult sideline behavior. Kids do know their Cam Newtons and Russell Wilsons with greater familiarity than they comprehend their Issac Newtons and Woodrow Wilsons, so they are going to have much to offer about life on the gridiron, whether as participants or as spectators. Oh my, youngsters do say some provocative, insightful and often outrageously funny things about the game of football. This book presents quite an impressive compilation of such comments, as the children opine with alacrity about many, varied football related subjects and characters, from coaches to players to cheerleaders and owners. Even the Commissioner of football is not left unscathed or unattended to! Here are a few choice commentaries: "The car was invented so people could get to football games." "The best position to play is to be the owner - for obvious reasons." "The best college tradition is kidnapping a dean from Notre Dame!" "Football is like chess or checkers, but the pieces got broken sometimes." "Football is like marriage but football has more rules." "Punt returns guys get their eyes examined every two months and they get their heads examined every week!" "Youth football coaches are like Darth Vader with a whistle in his mouth." "The three main values of the NFL are freedom of running, freedom of passing, and freedom of raising ticket prices."

Book excerpt: This ambitious and fascinating history considers why, in the space of sixty years between 1850 and 1910, football grew from a marginal and unorganised activity to become the dominant winter entertainment for millions of people around the world. The book explores how the world’s football codes - soccer, rugby league, rugby union, American, Australian, Canadian and Gaelic - developed as part of the commercialised leisure industry in the nineteenth century. Football, however and wherever it was played, was a product of the second industrial revolution, the rise of the mass media, and the spirit of the age of the masses. Important reading for students of sports studies, history, sociology, development and management, this book is also a valuable resource for scholars and academics involved in the study of football in all its forms, as well as an engrossing read for anyone interested in the early history of football.

With their long winning streaks, distinctive traditions, and impressive victories, Ivy teams started a national obsession with football in the first decades of the twentieth century that remains alive today. In so doing they have helped develop our ideals about the role of athletics in college life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lot can happen in 90 minutes. From football's codification in 1863 to the modern era - goals, red cards and even substitutions have led to some of the strongest and most remarkable sporting legacies. The game has grown into the world's largest and most supported sport, with all aspects of modern life being drawn into its continually expanding empire. This book journeys through football's incredible history to examine some of the game's most fascinating minutes of play which, to this day, provoke lasting memories. These key moments show how there is often far more to a minute of football than just 60 seconds. The impact can last for years, decades or centuries. By looking at the history of goals, finals and even corners we get a clear picture of how football became the game we know and love today. From the first goal in an FA Cup Final to Diego Maradona's 'hand of God', The History of Football in Ninety Minutes (Plus Extra Time) gives fuel to the notion that every minute in football counts.

Book excerpt: Great games remembered by legendary players and coaches "For folks who have been around for a while, this book will conjure up many a great memory. And for younger readers, it will provide a fine history lesson and some excellent insight into the way the sport has evolved."--From the foreword by Beano Cook First published in 1948, My Greatest Day in Football is a collection of reminiscences and stories from football's early stars. College football games were the most memorable moments for many of these players and coaches, though some highlight professional and even high school games. Sam "Slingin' Sammy" Baugh recounts the National League Championship game played at Wrigley Field during his rookie season; Felix A. "Doc" Blanchard, nicknamed "Mr. Inside" for his powerful running attack, describes the triumphant day when Army ended its thirteen-year losing streak to Notre Dame; and Glenn Scobie "Pop" Warner explains why a tough battle against Cal was his greatest day, even though his Stanford team was not victorious. George "the Gipper" Gipp, Knute Rockne, and Paul Brown, who perhaps provides the most surprising game of all, are all included in My Greatest Day in Football. While not all of the thirty-five contributors' names may be immediately recognizable, all their stories are entertaining and rich with nostalgia. Editors Goodman and Lewin introduce each subject with a brief summary of his career and provide the lineup and statistics of each great game. Football fans everywhere will enjoy this flashback to the game's early days.
