From Word of Sport:

The former Atlanta Falcons player lifts the lid on the hidden life of the NFL; the untold wars within every team, the partnership between the mob and the NFL,and the score on AIDS, racism and steroids.

From the Publisher:

Millions watch it. Billions are spent on it. Yet few fans know what really goes on inside the NFL. In this book former Atlanta Falcons' defensive end Tim Green, an eight-year veteran of the game and now a commentator for the NFL on Fox and National Public Radio, lays it on the line. Here is the explosive national bestseller whose shock waves ripped across the media, revealing for the first time the dark side of the game—the pathos and the horror, the abuses and the wonder of the sport they call professional football.

* The farce they call training camp
* The facts on painkiller drugs
* The untold war between offensive and defensive squads
* The torrid truth about groupies
* The score on racism, AIDS, gambling, steroids, and life after football
