Too much Brady, not enough Mahomes. Edit: Mahomes was 8 when this was written.

This fact-filled book honors football quarterbacks for the NFL, which is sad in a way since why honor a sport that dehumanizes both players and fans into thinking it's "courageous" to damage each other for entertainment purposes. It looks at the QB's from 1999-2003 when it was published. Interesting events have taken place ever since. We see guys (cough cough.) like Donovan McNabb, who sold his soul and that of his mother to Campbell's Chunky Soup; Aaron Brooks, related as cousin to Michael Vick and possibly to "Mister" Derrick Brooks of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (how sad), and Mike Vick himself, fastest runner in the league and in his "run" from the law, the same Vick who has bet on dogs so they can chew each other into Kibbles and Bits, so Vick can rake in some Bucks (Hee hee.) Kids reading this now might want to ask a lot of questions of their "heroes. A LOT of questions. Be gentle when explaining to them.
