Riassunto

<div>&#8220;Pat Toomay has mixed fact and fiction to produce a story that will make every armchair quarterback laugh and wince&#8212;and worry at his exposition of &#8220;the game&#8217;s&#8221; most insidious reality: the prospect &#8212; on any given Sunday&#8212;of a fix.&#8221; &#8212;John Seigenthaler, <i>USA Today</i><br> &#160;<br> &#8220;Toomay, for many years a lineman with the Cowboys and the Raiders, gives a sinister turn to the old saw that &#8216;on any given Sunday, one team can beat another&#8217;.&#160;.&#160;.&#160;. He writes knowledgeably about football: its strategy, the pain, the respect and hatred between the men in the trenches.&#8221; &#8212;<i>Publishers Weekly</i></div>
