Blindsided: Why the Left Tackle is Overrated and Other Contrarian Football Thoughts
ESPN.com Insider KC Joyner, “The Football Scientist,” explores and explodes many of the myths of NFL football
Have free agency and salary caps put an end to football dynasties? Does it take an elite running back to win a Super Bowl? Which players belong in the Hall of Fame? What defense is the greatest of all time? Does playing creampuffs work for NFL teams? Do coaches have a ten-year shelf life?
In Blindsided, pro football’s statistical iconoclast™ challenges conventional wisdom with fact-based and film-based answers to these and many other key NFL questions. Whether you’re a devout fantasy football player, a football fanatic, or a fan who wants the real, straight-from-the-fields-and-films scoop instead of the typical hype and hoopla, this book will inform and transform your thinking about the game.
