THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"Could this be the best book on football ever?" --Tyler Cowen

"Another masterwork from one of our greatest minds." --Esquire

"[An] essential playoff-season read." --People

A hilarious but nonetheless groundbreaking contribution to the argument about which force shapes American life the most. For two kinds of readers--those who know it's football and those who are about to find out.

Chuck Klosterman--New York Times bestselling critic, journalist, and, yes, football psychotic--did not write this book to deepen your appreciation of the game. He's not trying to help you become that person at the party, or to teach you how to make better bets, or to validate any preexisting views you might have about the sport (positive or negative). Football does, in fact, do all of those things. But not in the way such things have been done in the past, and never in a way any normal person would expect.

Cultural theorists talk about hyperobjects--phenomena that bulk so large that their true dimensions are hidden in plain sight. In 2023, 93 of the 100 most-watched programs on U.S. television were NFL football games. This is not an anomaly. This is how society is best understood. Football is not merely the country's most popular sport; it is engrained in almost everything that explains what America is, even for those who barely pay attention.

Klosterman gets to the bottom of all of it. He takes us to a metaphorical projection of Texas, where the religion of six-man football merges with America's Team [sic] and makes an inexplicable impact on a boy in North Dakota. He dissects the question of natural greatness, the paradox of gambling and war, and the timeless caricature of the uncompromising head coach. He interrogates the perfection of football's marriage with television and the morality of acceptable risk. He even conjures an extinction-level event. If Zizek liked the SEC more than he liked cinema, if Stephen Jay Gould cared about linebackers more than he cared about dinosaurs, if Steve Martin played quarterback instead of the banjo . . . it would still be nothing like this.

A century ago, Yale's legendary coach Walter Camp wrote his unified theory of the game. He called it Football. Chuck Klosterman has given us a new Camp for the new age, rooted in a personal history he cannot escape.

Not good for sensitive tummies or IBD
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Unfortunately my shepherd got bad diarrhea even with just half one. But the product smells really good. Like a nice Smoky flavor. I used to feed to my little poodle girl who had lots of allergies and sensitivities and very small amounts occasionally. But unfortunately my GSD can't handle much of anything so I don't hold it against the product, but if you have a very sensitive tummy dog, give a small amount in the beginning to try.

My dogs favorite
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is one of my dogs favorite chews. I love it to as she can work on it for days and weeks without damaging her teeth. She stays occupied and seems to love the taste

No
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My dog chewed through this in like 20 minutes while other brands she will usually be able to work on for several days. This looks like a good value because of the size, but it must not be as hard. She obviously liked it but for the price, no

Aussie loves it!
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This dog chew has been a lifesaver. Our Australian Shepherd is about to turn 11 months. I started giving him the Whole Paws Lactose and Grain Free dog chew about 3 months ago. He is an aggressive chewer and super persnickety about his food. This chew lasts forever. I usually buy the medium for him. The X large is almost too big for him, but when it is all our Whole Foods has, I get it.

Fun
My dogs love these ducks. They are pretty durable but I have had three dogs at a time and they all love them. Our new puppy has taken over the duck from my older dog and she is not happy.
