The Science of Football: The Math, Technology, and Data Behind America's Game

Tons have been written on the sport, but few have an angle that looks at data and the actual science behind many aspects of the game. Crazy good even if you aren't a huge football follower.

I have to say it was a major disappointment. So many words were written, but they ultimately didn’t say anything. There was nothing new or revealing about this book that you can’t get from watching a game broadcast or an episode of Hard Knocks. This book made a lot of claims but ultimately didn’t explain anything. It was hollow. I bought it mainly to learn about scouting and analytics, but those chapters didn’t elaborate on anything.
