About this audiobook
Tim Green
Tim Green, for many years a star defensive end with the Atlanta Falcons, is a man of many talents. He's the author of such gripping books for adults as the New York Times bestselling The Dark Side of the Game and American Outrage. Tim graduated covaledictorian from Syracuse University and was a first-round draft pick. He later earned his law degree with honors, and he has also worked as an NFL commentator for FOX Sports and NPR. His first book for young readers, Football Genius, inspired in part by his players and his own kids, became a New York Times bestseller and was followed by Football Hero, Football Champ, The Big Time, and Deep Zone. He drew on his experiences playing and coaching Little League for Rivals and Pinch Hit and two more New York Times bestsellers: Baseball Great and Best of the Best. Bestselling author Jon Scieszka called Tim Green's Unstoppable, a book about a boy's struggle with cancer that debuted at #2 on the New York Times bestseller list, "Absolutely heroic. And something every guy should read." Tim Green lives with his wife, Illyssa, and their five children in upstate New York.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was easy listening. Informative no abrasive, hateful secrets like so many books or articles today. I enjoy his style and so glad he still has a brain after such a violent career.
I love the Game but I will wince a lot more not that I listen to this audio book. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Decent look in to the bad boy culture of the NFL.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is penned by a former NFL star who’d read Dickens in the locker room. The prose isn’t exactly sparkling, but it’s pretty good for a former jock. Lucid, definitely. Lots of information here; I always wanted to know about the combine, the torments of training camp, and especially the eating habits of interior linemen. I would LOVE, love to IHOP with Vince Wilfork.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An interesting look at what goes on with players. The parts dealing with injury, pain and the processes players have to go through to get into the league are some of the better content in this book. Green is somewhat critical of the NFL, but when it comes to the crunch, given he was still involved with the game, soft-pedals the hard issues as far as actual details, proof, or any of that sort of thing as far as illegal activities and cheating goes. Still, those interested in the NFL at a deeper level will find this worth a look.
