    My two oldest boys are playing football (7th and 5th graders) and a bunch of mom's were recently joking that we need to see if there's a football basics book out there to learn positions, plays, special teams and penalty calls. I'd LOVE this.
    Thanks for the giveaway.

    I read because it is a form of escape for me. It is my "me" time. The time I pamper myself and escape into other worlds or time periods.

Thank you!

I have no idea why the captcha thing is showing up. I've got the setting marked "no" that I don't want it. Grrrrrr! But, I believe that if you skip entering anything it will post.
