Fun little book.

Alternates between obscure sports trivia, useful tips for playing, and occasionally hilarious etiquette for the stadium. Although I do strongly disagree with the "no jerseys over the age of 30" rule.

I initially checked this out for advice on hosting a Super Bowl party. But I ended up reading most of it.
I learned how to (in theory) properly throw darts, perform a skateboarding ollie, win at rock, paper, scissors, and more.

With headings such as: Pro Perspective, Conversation Starter, and Sound Like You Know What You're Talking About,
I also learned some great info about four important figures in the history of football, and how I will respond if someone questions if golf is really a sport.
