Collision Low Crossers: A Year Inside the Turbulent World of NFL Football Audiobook (Free)

An unrivaled family portrait of day-to-day life in the NFL: ‘Riveting…An instant classic.’ — NY Times Publication Review

By spending a 12 months with the brand new York Jets, Nicholas Dawidoff entered a mysterious and private world using its own rituals and language. Equivalent parts Paper Lion, Moneyball, Fri Night Lights, and ANY OFFICE, this absorbing, funny, and brilliant narrative reaches the heart of a massive and difficult collective endeavor.

Here is football in lots of faces: the polarizing, brilliant, and hilarious head coach; the general manager, whose work is to support (and suppress) the irrepressible coach; the defensive instructors and their in-house rivals, the offensive instructors; and undoubtedly the players. Wise safeties, brooding linebackers, high-strung cornerbacks, enthusiastic rookies, and a well-read nose tackle-they constitute a strange and complex family. Dawidoff makes an emblematic NFL period stand out for supporters and nonfans alike in a book about football that may forever change just how people watch and think about the sport.
