I have a book in mind I think to kick this thing off, but would like some more suggestions. Post some ideas and if we can put them on the list.

One of my favorites is Friday Night Lights. The movie was great and really showed how huge football is here in Texas. I did not see the movie, but the TV show sucks.

A favorite football movie of mine is The Best of Times – a great comedy about how replaying a glorious high school football game revives a small town. The movie stars Robin Williams, before he got annoying and out of control, and Kurt Russell, as star QB Reno Hightower.

By the way, great job gatek on getting the boards set up. Keep up the good work!

Is this book club strictly football books?

and we are allowed to discuss movies too??

Just thought I'd list a movie, but the club will feature books. I don't care though, we can throw in movies now and then to. It is a football book club, not the Oprah Club. We thought this was a good idea for our "year-round football" theme at AAFLsource.com.

Friday Night Lights was a great book. The movie was better than the TV show but of course cam up short compared to the book.

Here are a couple suggestions from Mark St. Amant...

Both books are non-fiction and crack me up.

"Committed" would be a little dated but is a must for the fantasy football fan. He looks into the history and you follow him in a "Year in the life" type of thing in his fantasy football season. Very, very comical!

In "Just kick it" he starts out going to write on Semi-Pro Football and ends up the kicker on the team despite never playing football before (played soccer when younger...and not real well). Another very comical book.
