Description

"The Armchair Quarterback Playbook" is the first book to celebrate their pastime and codify their culture of extreme devotion. Both funny and authentic, this impulse paperback is designed to look like a real football playbook - complete with hilariously modified X and O diagrams. Whether watching the game home alone, gathering with buddies, or hanging out at a sports bar, everything a football fan needs to know is here: how to redirect an interfering spouse ("The Listen and Respond Fake"), methods for keeping children at bay ("Intentional Grounding"), how to burn a teamlogo into one's lawn, proper Buffalo Wing-eating techniques, equipment and etiquette tips, game food recipes, insights into Armchair Quarterback vernacular, and more.
