The outcome of last Sunday’s National Football League championship game – where the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots – will go down in history not only as the most-watched football event but also as one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history.
The Giants’ 17-14 victory over the Patriots has become a major point of discussion between avid football fans, sports commentators, the media and even politicians. It has also made the Giants bigger heroes in their hometown, New York, where they have been given a rare tickertape victory parade.
While the results of Super Bowl XLII may have surprised many in the sports industry, former quarterback and football official Fred Wyant may have anticipated the coming of last Sunday’s upset – or some such surprises in the NFL.
The Xlibris book, “Offsides! – Fred Wyant's Provocative Look Inside the National Football League“, presents Wyant as a reliable insider who knows the ins and outs of professional football. Author Rene A. Henry leans heavily on Wyant’s 19-year experience as an official in the NFL as he takes a deeper look into the world and culture of the National Football League.
Henry compiles his interviews of several football players, coaches and officials to reinforce Wyant’s comments on the issues and situations that make up the wide range scenarios in the NFL. Among the points raised in this self-published book are the existence of role models in professional football, the importance of instant replay, the reliability of sports announcers, and the credibility of NFL officials.
Offsides! is laden with funny anecdotes, details of the responsibilities of football officials and descriptions of the more than 1,500 decisions each member of the crew faces in every game. This is also a great read for NFL aficionados who want to get deeper into the world of pro football – and perhaps get a heads up on yet another possible upset in the Super Bowl.
Offsides! is a self-published release authored by Rene A. Henry, and is available on Amazon.com and on the Xlibris online bookstore.
