A FACE IN THE CROWD: My Life as an NFL Wife throws open the door to anyone wanting to know "What?s it really like being married to an NFL ball player?" There is so much more to the game than what fans... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I purchased this book looking for some insight into the minds of the women of the nfl. Nicole Berti lays it out in a forward, plain spoken, no holds barred analysis. She covers the draft, life in a new city, her NFL peers and the life - the good, the bad and the ugly. She makes a great point about the woman married to these guys - they are always asked if they married them pre-fame or post-fame. She nails it on the head when she reveals the assumptions made by the public, the fans and the groupies. Great read for anyone who is looking for the real NFL from a womans perspective - not the tv version.
WOW!!

What an eye-opening book this is!! Nikki doesn't hold back and for anyone who reads it, you too will be surprised. Or maybe you won't! Maybe it will be exactly how you pictured the NFL, but I doubt it.
For anyone interested in life inside the NFL

This is a "must read" for anyone who: 1. Is a player in the NFL 2. Is the mother, wife, girlfriend of an NFL player 3. Is someone aspiring to play in the NFL 4. Is the parent of someone aspiring to play in the NFL 5. Is a relative of someone playing in the NFL 6. Is someone who's interested in life inside the NFL! The author, Nikki Berti doesn't pull any punches in her first-account expose. She names names, and provides details of some of the bizarre, rude, obnoxious players, wives, and coaches of some of your favorite franchises. This is the entertainment part of her book! The instructional part comes in the form of actions taken and decisions made by Nikki and her husband Tony. Some are good, sound decisions. Decisions that kept the Berti's from falling into the traps associated with money and fame. But Nikki also discusses the mistakes they made. What decisions they would do over if given the chance; if someone had written a book honestly presenting the less glamorous side of professional sports. Nikki has written such a book. If given the chance to do it all over again, would Nikki and Tony do it? This is not "spoiler" review. You'll have to read the book to find out ....
