Football Folderol: A Humorous History 0f American Football

From high school games to trick plays, and Gatorade showers to the origins of the wave, they're all in this hilarious collection. Best of all, the history of the game, the slingshot goalposts, and end zone celebrations are all explained and gang tackled. It's a fun read for every player, coach and fan of the American pastime that we can only watch on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Sigh.

The second book in the Sports Humor by Rick Braithwaite Series, Football Folderol features interesting and entertaining takes on the game that was uniquely created by Walter Camp, based loosely upon the game of rugby. His innovations are explained with humor and insight, providing a thoroughly enjoyable reading and learning experience.

Braithwaite had dedicated Football Folderol to his grandson, who started playing when he was just eight years old, and is now on the college team that has won more National Championships than any other school. To find out which one, you'll have to read the book. As Mike Pereira, the Fox Sports Analyst, says, "I don't know how many times I laughed and then said, 'Wow. I didn't know that.' "

Previous books by Braithwaite include Golf Gumbo: A Mishmash of Golf Facts and Fun, and The Dictionary of Soccer.
