The Proving Ground: A Season on the Fringe in NFL Europe

As an avid football fan, I truly enjoyed this book. It gave great insight to what a team goes through during a season overseas in NFL Europe. It showed the highs and lows that players go through especially within the family (team). If you are interested in what goes on and what goes through a players mind I really suggest you read this book. Lars Anderson did a great job and my heart goes out to kicker Rob Hart... YOU WILL GET A CHANCE TO MAKE IT UP! (read the book to find out what that refers to!)

This is one of the best books I have read. It might be the best book about football ever. It gives a detailed account of what NFL Europe is really all about. As a fan of the league since 1991, I thought I knew almost everything about the league, but after reading this book, I learned things about it I never knew. The only flaw I saw in the book was that Mr. Anderson said that the World League became NFL Europe in 1996, but in fact it did not actually become NFL Europe until the 1998 season. Other then that it was a great book. A must for all football fans, especially fans of NFL Europe!!
