Pro Football Prospectus
Anyone else pick this up?
Its from the people who run Football Outsiders with some borrowed concepts from the Baseball Prospectus people. I picked it up before the season and I have to say its a fascinating read. Though I'm admitedly a stats geek, this book focuses a bit less on stats and numbers than Baseball Prospectus. I strongly recommend anyone that enjoys Football Outsiders or is a big fan of Baseball Prospectus to pick it up. Some great stats, interesting articles (anything from WRs and the Hall of Fame to the progress of ACL surgeries), and some great front office/coaching analysis. |

Bill Simmons in one of his recent podcasts interviews the writer. I found the podcast fascinating, I really wanted to pick this up atleast once to see what it was all about. You can find it on Espn or Itunes.
