310 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : 21 cm One of the NFL's most talented players, Strahan is also one of its most vocal personalities. His first book is a no-holds-barred account of life in the league, recounting exhilarating victories in vivid detail, but not without the hair-raising details of the ruthless grit required for every win. He reveals the names of the dirtiest players, what it feels and sounds like to crush another player, which potent painkillers players take in order to return to the battlefield, the wild parties, the pressure to live up to a multimillion-dollar salary, the intense and sometimes volatile relationship between player and coach, and the violent blowups that occur when that pressure gets too intense.--From publisher description Preparing for battle -- Practical jokes: the brilliance of our immaturity -- Footbrawling -- The coach and player relationship -- The head coach and I hug it out -- Behind the locker room doors -- Donovan, please answer your damn phone! -- Communicating on the field -- Snap goes my foot : welcome to club medical -- The lousy life of a rookie -- Violence under the pile and other things that won't get you arrested -- Chess on
