"In Wedded to the Game , Shannon O'Toole, the wife of an ex-NFL player and coach, offers a side of the NFL that doesn't show up in newspaper summaries.

Synopsis
Hardhitting and to the point, Why Obama's Government Takeover of Health-Care Will Be a Disaster takes us inside Obama's high stakes gamble with our health care system and shows us why we should be afraid, very afraid, of the possible outcome., What is it really like living in the shadow of the NFL? Contending with marital issues in a media spotlight? Raising kids whose father is idolized for his bone-crushing work on national TV? Trying to pursue friendships and career while constantly on the move? Reporting from the home field, Shannon O'Toole offers an intimate perspective on the culture of the NFL based on her interviews with dozens of wives and girlfriends of NFL players and coaches. Bringing to bear a background in sociology and a firsthand understanding of being married to the NFL, O'Toole is uniquely qualified to report from behind pro football's doors. Part insider tell-all, part sociological study, her book is packed with candid on-the-spot accounts of NFL life, providing a rare glimpse into the often hidden world behind the game. Women--already 43 percent of the NFL's fan base--make up the sport's fastest growing group of fans: this book is certain to appeal to them and to anyone who wonders about the hidden realities of America's favorite game.
