I think they will enjoy it. I bought this book for a birthday gift.
Very informative and fun. Suprisingly this book taught me a few things I didn't know. I bought this book as a gag gift for a friend who knows nothing about football and was always jumping into our conversations with what else. dumb questions.
Together with many things I already knew I could find many things I did not know or figure out the right way.Exactly what I needed.Reading this book is recommended also for those, like me, who are definitely not "dummies" but just need to put some order in the "things I thought I thought".Quick delivery by the way. Although I'm not exactly a "dummy" in football, I needed a few hints on offensive and defensive strategies and did not want to read one of those "coaches only" books which I was sure I could not understand.So I got Howie Long's "Football for Dummies".
And for the price you get at Amazon, it's a win win all around; not to mention you'll be doing the economy a favor. You do wanna be the "go to" guy, don't you. Too many people sit and listen to commentators try to explain concepts to the masses. The layout is wonderful and easy to understand; even a dummy can understand it.
First of all, I didn't know jack about football strategy. You do wanna help the economy, don't you. Why do that when you can spend one day reading this book and know more than they could even teach you on tv; besides, with reading being replaced by billions of online pet videos, you'll be sure to become the only, that's right, "go to" guy in the room. Scratch that, I knew some.
Offensive strategies, defensive strategies, salaries, fantasy leagues, the whole bit. Yeah, you do. The point is, if you wanna be the ultimate "go to" guy when you and your pals are watching the game, read this book. Yeah, you do.
It's extremely confusing and not helpful at all. It skips around at random and uses terms that he hasn't defined yet. Skip it. This book assumes that you have some knowledge of the game and is not for the total novice. As previously mentioned, the book is badly written and does not build logically on previously mentioned ideas.
