Florio’s 2022 book
Playmakers: How the NFL Really Works is a unique book that gives us a sneak peek behind the curtains of a league that weekly dominates the headlines. In most cases, these headlines are either about players'/games' accomplishments or some sort of controversial news. Despite all these, the league continues to be more popular, making more money than ever before. Mike Florio examines this contradictory phenomenon without bias and shares his findings in this book.
There’s no aspect of the NFL league that the author doesn’t cover. The book covers everything that has happened in the NFL league in the first two decades of this century. Florio deeply examines everything in every possible angle from the players- especially the quarterbacks, as they are the most important members of the team in the game- to coaches, officials, the draft, and owners.
The book’s chapters are short and also packed with information. They also feature well-drafted opinions and explanations of Mike Florio’s thoughts, which are as interesting as the narration of the game itself.
For example, Florie gives his own opinion of the NFL draft. He explains the popularity of this event and how it has grown into one that prompts cities to bid against each other to host it. At the same time, Florio is also against the NFL draft. He notes that it restricts players in where they can pursue their career, a restriction that most people in other careers do not face. Every chapter in the draft is an interesting read, as are the other topics he explores.
Playmakers is highly recommended for readers who don’t devote much time to long segments. This is because the chapters are short and can be read in small doses without feeling lost or having trouble picking up where they left off. In addition, a casual fan will enjoy it as much as a diehard NFL fan, and neither will be confused by the technical slang or bored because of its simplicity.
