Description
Book SynopsisA fascinating look at the game within the game by former Dallas Cowboy fullback and Fox Sports analyst Daryl "Moose" Johnston, with professional journalist Jim Gigliotti.
Trade Review“Obviously Daryl did more than just block for Troy and Emmitt during his eleven-year NFL career—he became a student of the game. A great read to get ready for an NFL Sunday at home or at the stadium.”Ed Goren, president, Fox Sports"In this terrific book Moose talks about the many skills necessary to be a complete player. But the game of football is more than technique-you need heart. My definition of heart is the desire, passion, and will to be the very best. My friend Daryl has heart."--Emmitt Smith, former NFL running back
