Guide Review - Get Your Own Damn Beer, I'm Watching the Game

Along with a general overview of the basics of the game, Peete breaks down the different units of the team, explains the role of each player, and illustrates where each lines up on the field. She also provides a rundown of all on-field penalties and referees' signals, along with some history of the game all fans should be aware of. This book takes the complete beginner to a point of understanding the object and basic rules before developing a deeper insight into all the different facets involved.

Peete, star of 21 Jump Street, For Your Love, and Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, also spices up the lineup with informative and humorous "Cheat Sheets" in each chapter which include classic information like the 10 greatest Super Bowls, the 10 all-time greats of the game, and she even ranks the top-10 butts for those of you who are interested. Overall, this book is a fantastic, entertaining tutor for the beginner whether it be female or male, and it's a must read for anyone wanting to get deeper into the game.
