From the Publisher:
America's favorite sportswriter lifts the shroud of secrecy that envelops the NFL to give us the most intimate look we have ever had into the workings of a professional football team. Feinstein follows a single team through an entire season, capturing a vast spectrum of experience and emotion, from the owner's goals to the coach's day-to-day travails to the feeling of the sleet-soaked ball in the hands of a receiver.
Anyone who loves football - any team, in any era - will savor the details revealed here about the most sensational sport in America.

An excellent behind the scenes book about the realities of coaching in the NFL. Next Man Up follows the Baltimore Ravens through highs and lows, with detailed accounts of the problems faced by the caching staff as they struggle to be competitive.
Whether you're a Ravens fan or not, this book is engaging and well worth reading.

"In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes when you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase, 'Goodnight, sleep tight.' "
