Description
Husbands and boyfriends, make room on the couch - the modern woman in your life loves football just as much as you do. Men Will Be Boys is the hilarious handbook that tackles the myth that women don't understand football. Every Sunday and Monday night from September to January, forty million women tune in to watch NFL football. Sally Jenkins knows that the average woman knows as much about football as the men in her life. With such helpful devices as "A Babe's Glossary. Of Football Terms" (Huddle: group therapy for guys) and "Stupid Female Questions That Make Perfect Sense" (Q: If a guy is called a quarterback, shouldn't there be four of him?), Men Will Be Boys reveals that for every fumble that has the modern woman screaming at the television set, she's also pondering: How come the big guy in the front line makes so much less than the smaller guy behind him who is always so clean? Why do coaches wear those beltless pants? Jenkins. Punctures the macho crap that surrounds the game and makes it more fun for the woman fan - and for men, too, if they'd only admit they don't know everything. Quick, guys, define line of scrimmage.
