Download NFL Confidential: True Confessions from the Gutter of Football AudioBook Free
A current expert player takes lovers on the pseudonymous trip through one of the most infamous years of football - the very long, sometimes funny, often questionable 2013-2014 season - sharing raucous, behind-the-scenes, on-the-field, and in-the-locker-room fact about life in the Country wide Football League. "Well, to hell with being safe. I'm going to be honest." Johnny Anonymous' life goal was to be nothing at all greater or less than the very best NFL Back-Up of most TimeTM. For just two years, he was content gaining thousands of us dollars to stand on the sidelines doing nothing at all. But early on in his third calendar year, a starting lineman is harmed, and he all of a sudden locates himself on the field. For some players, this minute is a desire come true. But not so for our author, one of the amazingly rare birds in soccer who reach the highest echelons, but who actually hate America's favorite game. That is right. Johnny Anonymous hates soccer. He hates what it does to his body, his brain, his life. Luckily, he can easily see the humor in his own situation, but also in the machinations of the NFL. Part truth-telling narrative, part whip-smart commentary that only a true insider could bring, part amusing, NFL Confidential provides football fans a look at a world most would give anything to see, and provides non-fans a outrageous ride through the bizarre, and sometimes troubling traditions and realities of soccer today. This is a truly unaffiliated look at the nation's biggest, most rewarding pastime during the period of one of its most transformative months. From hard-to-stomach diets, showdowns in the weight room, shenanigans in the locker room, the looming dread to be cut from the team, the racial issues that still exist in modern-day soccer, the rock-star lifestyle that players find themselves able to afford and sometimes like a little too much, the notion of being lauded in a league suffering from controversy, and the pointed contrast between the love/hate of the overall game and the truth of the job, Johnny uncovers a never-before-seen aspect of the NFL.
