Best book I've read on understanding football

I read this book when it first came out, and I loved it. I'm a guy who's watched football my entire life, but since I was never big enough to play organized tackle football, I was never taught any nuances of the game. I find it much more enjoyable to watch sports when I understand more of what's going on, and that's what this book is all about - what are the greats of the '90s thinking when they play? Anyone who's ever yelled at the QB for being stupid will get a much better appreciation of what these guys have to do. It's crazy.
