As most mysilentscream readers know, I love baseball and books about baseball.  If you read my review of Men of Sunday by Curtis Eichelberger, you know I love football too.

Published in 1997 The Dark Side of the Game: My Life in the NFL by Tim Green is a quick read, and a friendly introduction to a sometimes dark and always violent game.

Author Tim Green was an unusual NFL player:  
– He read prolifically
– He went to law school in his spare time

Dark Side of the Game is a series of seventy or so blog-like mini-essays (2-4 pages) covering many topics that interested me.
