Summary:
George Plimpton was perhaps best known for 'Paper Lion", the book that set the bar for participatory sports journalism. With his characteristic wit, Plimpton recounts his experiences in talking his way into training camp with the
Detroit
Lions
, practicing with the
team
, and taking snaps behind center. His breezy style captures the pressures and tensions rookies confront, the hijinks that pervade when sixty high-strung guys live together in close quarters, and a host of
football
rites and rituals.
