At the beginning of the 2014 season, I started keeping a detailed journal about my life as an NFL player. . . . Now, if I wanted to be safe, I'd get everything approved by the NFL, and you'd get a completely whitewashed, totally inaccurate, and extremely dull story about life in pro football.

At the beginning of the 2014 season, I started keeping a detailed journal about my life as an NFL player. . . . Now, if I wanted to be safe, I'd get everything approved by the NFL, and you'd get a completely whitewashed, totally inaccurate, and extremely dull story about life in pro football. To hell with safe. I'm gonna be honest. NFL Confidential recounts a year in the life of the National Football League. It is a truly unaffiliated look at the business, guts, and glory of the game from the perspective of a dispensable underdog: not a marquee star, but a regular guy, a third stringer on the roster gutting it out through training camp to the end of the season, wondering every minute if he's going to get playing time?or get cut. Johnny Anonymous introduces the diverse cast of players?the true believers, the hero types, the brown-nosers, the f!#k-ups, the a**holes, the complainers, the fighters?the egotistical coaches who torture them, and the fans who will invade their privacy and personal space just to get a piece of their beloved pastime. The hellish injuries, nagging coaches, pompous general managers, overpaid diva athletes, and the physical and mental toll the game takes?Johnny holds nothing back in this whip-smart commentary that only an insider can bring. Part truth-telling personal narrative, part darkly funny exposé, NFL Confidential offers the faithful a look into a world they'd give anything to see?a wild ride through the strange, quirky, and sometimes disturbing realities of America's favorite game.
