Most of the guys are friends having played on so many teams with free agency and when they line up it's: "Hey Tim, how's your mom doing?
How are your folks doing? Still Loved the part about steroid-using players who bought "clean" urine and paid a doctor to pump it into their bladders through a catheterall so they could then pass the urine test they knew was coming. Still have that house in the Adirondacks? Dec 27, Neil White rated it it was amazing. It's about football. Written by a football player who also happens to be a rather talented writer.
Clearly concussions don't effect the brain's literary center. Or maybe they do and he's just awesome. This book is awesome. Football is awesome. The end. Aug 04, Dick rated it liked it. There is a dark side to the NFL - no surprise.
But there is a lot of comaradarie as well. Deion Sanders came off better than I expected. Dec 13, Vicki rated it really liked it. I enjoyed the book. I always enjoyed his commentaries on Morning Edition. I remembered my interest in the author and the book a couple of weeks ago after his interview on 60 minutes. Remembering that interview was especially heartbreaking after I read his chapter on concussions in this book.
The book is a bit dated but I still think much of the bo I enjoyed the book. The book is a bit dated but I still think much of the book remains relevant. I look forward to reading more from Mr. Apr 19, Gerry rated it really liked it. None of the glamour of the NFL in this book. Tim Green tells of the pathos, horror and abuses that players experience during their time at the top of their chosen profession. Why did they choose it?
Green analyses that question and answers it succinctly and with honesty even thugh he sometimes wondered why he was going through the pain. The readers' view of life in the NFL will never be the same again! May 20, Albert Meier rated it it was amazing. Quick, enjoyable read. Green is not exposing the deep and horrible secrets of the game so much as giving an unvarnished look at the thoughts and actions of football players.
Some good, some bad. I couldn't put it down. I wonder what has and what hasn't changed since he wrote it. Sep 19, Amy rated it liked it. Jun 12, Carlos rated it really liked it Shelves: sports. A must read for sports fans--including fans of both professional and college football--through the eyes of a former player. Sep 28, Arwen Zhang rated it really liked it. I'm going to be honest, I'm not big into football. I have a basic idea about the game, so it was really interesting to read and learn about.
It was definitely a different perspective and I've learned a lot from the book. A little dated now, but it's still relevant, and it was an overall good read. A trip down memory lane at this point. The dark side of the game is about the life of NFL players. It is a sports genre book. Tim green the author played 8 years in the NFL. He tells what it took to get there, what it was like during, and what its like after. What it takes to get there is pure determination and love for the game.
The players that take leadership is because not just raw talent but they are emotional and get the team pumped. People now that are big named like Ray Lewis or Brain Dawkins. Those men were fun to watch, every The dark side of the game is about the life of NFL players. Those men were fun to watch, every game these men put themselves to the test. The best way to get to the pro's is an invitation to the combine if you get to the combine your chance double.
If your not part of the combine it becomes a waiting game just hoping your the call of a GM. While in the NFL, its your time to work for the number 1 spot it takes the effort. Every year many people come in and many retire. The teams go into camp with around 70 or so players and by week 1 they cut down to only 53 players that are allowed to dress and be part of that team.
Things as nagging as a cleat mark left from when some pound man run on your leg. We tend to see all these players with tons of girls but its just as easy for them to get turned down just as easy as you would. It is easier for them to get celebrities just because they have heard of and seen this guy. The hate of the refs, nobody likes refs.
The good calls they make get fully ignored the second a bad call is or isn't made. After the NFL doesn't mean your to old to play, players have retired before they were even 25 just because they got hurt to severe.
Yes almost every player will be a millionaire just for playing a sport but the sport is no easy task. Many people love sports so much even when the retire they tend to go for espn or cbs or something. Just to be part of sports not physically but mentally because you get to go down to field and be at many many game. Many players retirement is great because they can finally get those injuries fully recovered and have great houses and cars.
When Shad Khan set out more than a decade ago to become the first member of an ethnic minority to own an NFL team, the Pakistani-American heard the scuttlebutt. We were fully capable with the guys that were on the field. Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky is "day to day" with a right shoulder injury he suffered at the end of Sunday night's game against the Vikings, Bears coach Matt Nagy said Tuesday at Halas Hall.
Nagy said he is "cautiously optimistic" Trubisky will b. Trubisky has missed two games with a right shoulder injury and hasn't participated in prac. On the final play of a wild Sunday afternoon, Mitch Trubisky launched a bomb into the October sky and hoped for the best. A cluster of bodies swirled around Soldier Field's south goal line. And from within that mob, Bears receiver Kevin White emerged. Then he said it again, perhaps to reinforce that he understood what everyone was think.
Assistant Editor It was just a few days after the season ended and Vance McDonald sat back in his chair, quietly thinking back on the year. THE second day's play in the Four-Day series final between the Dolphins and Titans was washed out at Kingsmead yesterday without a ball bowled.
The weather has dominated proceedings in Durban with just 10 overs bowled in the match so far. The Dolphin. Open navigation menu. Close suggestions Search Search. User Settings.
