The topic of this book initially worried me; like, how much more is there to say about the most important position in sports? We know the names, have watched the games, and the stats are available at the touch of a button. Even Netflix is now synonymous with Quarterback. 

Enter Seth Wickersham. If you flip to the back of this book, there are pages and pages of sources. So many, that only a writer with a small army could do so much research. 

But then you start reading it. 

Wickersham was once a quarterback himself; a boy with a dream that wanted what all of us want, which is to feel what these men feel when there's a minute left on the clock and 80,000 watching your every move. 

The stories he tells are plentiful, and he never spends too long on one. In a "swipe up video" world, it's a writing style that I thoroughly enjoy. 

He covers the legends, but also spends great time on men I'd never heard of. From Bob Waterfield to Y.A. Tittle and prep Colin Hurley, all of them bonded by quarterback but worlds apart in personalities. 

Many writers re-write the facts, often a formality in English 101. At the end of Forrest Gump, the woman on the park bench tells Forrest, "Well, I thought it was a very lovely story, and you tell it so well." 

Folks, that's the best way to describe this book: the stories are rich in details, and the narratives go so deep. As Steve Young talked, there were times when I thought, this is about as much as I could possibly get without being in this guy's brain.

Wickersham didn't write this with an army of researchers. He wrote it after a lifetime of experiences that allowed the stories to just flow naturally. 

I don't give many 5-star reviews, but this is one. Enjoy it. 

When it comes to NFL coaching legends, few names command the same respect as Bill Cowher. A former linebacker turned iconic head coach, Cowher led the Pittsburgh Steelers with a fiery passion and blue-collar toughness that perfectly reflected the city he represented.
​
From his Super Bowl triumph to his signature scowl on the sidelines, Cowher’s legacy is about more than wins and losses--it's about identity, loyalty, and building something that lasts.

Patrick Mahomes' transformation from multi-sport high school athlete to NFL championship quarterback represents one of the most rapid ascensions to elite status in professional football history. His journey combines exceptional natural arm talent with advanced football intelligence and championship-level mental toughness.

Today, we dig into the fascinating background of Pat Mahomes. 

Back in 2021, Aaron Rodgers shared his love of reading during a weekly interview with Pat McAfee. What started as a simple suggestion turned into a weekly "I wonder what Aaron's going to recommend next?" 

Rodgers would go on to recommend 28 total books (plus a bonus coloring book) over a two-year stretch. For anyone looking to gain a deeper insight into the mind of one of the NFL's most elite quarterbacks, this list alone is proof of both Rodgers' introspective view of life, along with his diverse interests. 

The 28 books below are listed in order based on when they were recommended, starting with Aaron's first recommendation, The Alchemist.

Last month, I got an email from an author I had never heard of. His name? Gary J. Kirchner. Hailing from Canada, I learned that Kirchner had both played and coached football at McGill University, a highly regarded public research institution in Montreal. 

His ask? Check out his new book, "Pacing The Sidelines," which is the first in a two-part series about football. When people reach out, unless I have absolutely no interest in the subject, I will almost always read their book. It's really the essence of what this site is: a place to uncover new sports books, highlight lesser-known authors, and provide recommendations on books that I feel are worth your time. 

To be fair, I've read plenty of books that I subsequently haven't written about. And while I could start writing reviews of every title I complete, I just don't believe in recapping something that I think is three stars or less. 

It was another exciting sports weekend between NCAA and NFL football games, not to mention pretty much every detail being posted from "secret" NCAA basketball scrimmages. 
"The scrimmage was a secret, but our point guard scored 40 so we'll talk about it," seemed to be a prominent rationale for programs across the country. ​

In the summer of 2006, I had the opportunity to intern at a sports management agency. I'd work at the agency in the mornings, eat a sandwich at the office, then tuck my dress pants into my socks and bike to my second job as a bank teller. It was a full day, but I learned a lot about all aspects of business. 

My family and I recently attended "Family Day" at the Minnesota Vikings training camp. One of the first things you'll notice is simply how immaculate this campus is. Surrounded by manmade lakes, TCO Stadium is its own outdoor football stadium connected to an indoor performance center. 

Sports stadiums have always been a symbol of regional pride and a hub of sporting activity. From hosting large-scale events to providing a platform for local teams to showcase their talent, stadiums play a crucial role in the sporting landscape worldwide. But have you ever wondered which stadiums hold the title for being the world's largest? In this article, we will explore the evolution of stadiums, factors influencing their size, the top 5 largest stadiums globally, and some of the most iconic stadiums with unique features.
