Weighing in at a whopping 1,536 pages, this updated edition of the best football encyclopedia available features lists of all players ever drafted by the NFL and AFL in the amateur drafts since 1920, expanded defense and specialists registers, all-time leaders in single-game performances, and all-time rankings of players by Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections. A special essay on the history of the NFL on television is sure to delight fans of the gridiron. And, of course it includes all of the resources, fact listings, and records true devotees expect: comprehensive year-by-year and team-by-team rushing, passing, receiving, kicking, punting, sacks, and returns statistics for all players in NFL history; far-reaching details on football history, award recipients, draft picks, and loads more stats on teams, coaches, and stadiums.

Summary: Gold For the Football History Nerd
Comment: This massive book has everything that you would expect to find in a baseball or football encyclopedia. The leaders section is very thorough, but I'd prefer that the rankings be on a per-game basis rather than being ranked by "projected totals" (to place performances from 12-game and 14-game seasons on equal playing fields with today's 16-game seasons). Other than that, all football history nerds need to own this book.

Summary: Football
Comment: I gave this to my wife. She is comparing it to the Baseball Encyclopedia, also by ESPN. She is disappointed in the readability of the Football Encyclopedia. It is harder to follow and understand in comparison.

Customer Rating:

Summary: THE encyclopedia all NFL fans should have.
Comment: If you are really into NFL football and its history, this encyclopedia should be sitting on your coffee table year round (at least Sept through Jan). ESPN has compiled a comprehensive volume giving you the answers to nearly every NFL trivia question imaginable. It nearly has it all! From player stats (every player), to the Super Bowls, Hall of Fame, ProBowl, the Draft, and Season and All-Time records. This 1500 page mecca of NFL info will meet and surpass your expectations. There is no better paper weight of knowledge on the planet. You cannot even find this type of info on the internet. It will be the best $25 you've ever spent!!
