Book Description:
"Uproariously funny." (Elmore Leonard)
"Captures the beer-and-blood flavor of the NFL." (Entertainment Weekly)
"Deliciously wicked...Reminiscent of North Dallas Forty and Semi-Tough." (Publishers Weekly)
Only a sportswriter like Mike Lupica could write a pigskin satire as fast, funny, and fiercely entertaining as Bump & Run-in which a Las Vegas "jammer" takes a gamble on the wildest, wooliest team in the NFL.
"Truly hip, uproariously funny, and my God, it might even be true. Bump & Run places Lupica high up among the funniest guys writing fiction." (Elmore Leonard)
"Even if you don't give a rat's *ss for professional football, you should read this savagely hilarious novel."(Pete Hamill)
"Outrageous, opinionated, and most important, funny as hell." (Phil Simms, CBS Sports, Super Bowl-winning quarterback, New York Giants)

Fun, not-too-serious story of a brand-new owner in the NFL and the culture shock he is in for. Gives a sense of all the things going on off-screen in professional football.

Sex, drugs, and....Football! The life of a new NFL team owner.

Let me say right out front that I'm a woman who never watches football. However, a friend recommended Lupica and I read this book. While the inside look at football was fun, it was really the relationships between the new owner and his team/family/girlfriend that drove this book. There are some scenes that are rauncy, but in a funny way. Many scenes will make you laugh until you cry.
If you like football, you will love this book! I thought it was hilarious!
