Synopsis

"Pat Toomay has mixed fact and fiction to produce a story that will make every armchair quarterback laugh and wince--and worry at his exposition of "the game's" most insidious reality: the prospect -- on any given Sunday--of a fix." --John Seigenthaler, USA Today

"Toomay, for many years a lineman with the Cowboys and the Raiders, gives a sinister turn to the old saw that 'on any given Sunday, one team can beat another'. . . . He writes knowledgeably about football: its strategy, the pain, the respect and hatred between the men in the trenches." --Publishers Weekly
