    About this audiobook

    Sportscaster and former National Football League defensive end Tim Green reveals what it's really like to play in the NFL in The Dark Side of the Game. In this-the Super Bowl champion of tell-all novels-an eight-year NFL veteran exposes the game he loves, warts and all. This audiobook is packed with hard-hitting inside information only a former player could know. From the perfect partnership between the mob and the NFL to the shattered lives of former players, no subject is out of bounds. At the same time, you'll meet the NFL's role models and true heroes, including the dazzling Deion Sanders and the superb Steve Young. Whether you're one of the millions of die-hard fans, or only have a passing interest in the game, veteran narrator Richard Poe's no-nonsense voice and flair for the drama of the game puts you in the huddle. This unflinching look at the most-watched professional sports league on earth is a must-listen.

    Tim Green

    Tim Green, for many years a star defensive end with the Atlanta Falcons, is a man of many talents. He's the author of such gripping books for adults as the New York Times bestselling The Dark Side of the Game and American Outrage. Tim graduated covaledictorian from Syracuse University and was a first-round draft pick. He later earned his law degree with honors, and he has also worked as an NFL commentator for FOX Sports and NPR. His first book for young readers, Football Genius, inspired in part by his players and his own kids, became a New York Times bestseller and was followed by Football Hero, Football Champ, The Big Time, and Deep Zone. He drew on his experiences playing and coaching Little League for Rivals and Pinch Hit and two more New York Times bestsellers: Baseball Great and Best of the Best. Bestselling author Jon Scieszka called Tim Green's Unstoppable, a book about a boy's struggle with cancer that debuted at #2 on the New York Times bestseller list, ""Absolutely heroic. And something every guy should read."" Tim Green lives with his wife, Illyssa, and their five children in upstate New York.

      Fan: Mike, even though you’re one of the Top 10 players in baseball history, I think you were underappreciated in Philadelphia, probably because you made it look so easy. I know it wasn’t easy and that you worked hard. Is that how you see it? Schmidt

      This book is penned by a former NFL star who’d read Dickens in the locker room. The prose isn’t exactly sparkling, but it’s pretty good for a former jock. Lucid, definitely. Lots of information here; I always wanted to know about the combine, the torments of training camp, and especially the eating habits of interior linemen. I would LOVE, love to IHOP with Vince Wilfork.

      I have loved the game of football my entire life as a player in youth and school as a fan,and as a couch and founding administrator for the youth football program in the small community I raised my kids in and was very successful at that level (two national championship teams. ) but until I read this I thought I had a good idea of pro ball. I even spent Sundays sitting on the bench ,or behind it, At LA Rams games when I was 6-7-8 years old. My Aunt Donna was the founding member of the Rams song leaders back in the mid 60,s. Read north Dallas fourth and about everything else. But reading this is the first time I ever really found out what it was really like.
