The Home Team: My Bromance with off Brand Football (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780979698897)

Birmingham, Alabama - the Football Capital of the South - has likely had more pro football teams than any other city. None have been in the NFL, and all have failed. Quickly.

As veteran sportswriter Scott Adamson can attest, loving an off-brand team is the triumph of hope over experience. Having decided at an early age that tackle football was the greatest sport man has yet to invent, Adamson takes on a fan's-eye view of life with Brand X football. The Home Team: My Bromance with Off-Brand Football is the funny, somewhat tortured, journey of a fanatic's life long quest for a hometown team of his own.

The Home Team: My Bromance with Off-Brand Football is filled with trivia, history, heartache, and more trivia. And how game day hotdogs can be fatal to young romance. Adamson's account of Birmingham's unsinkable quest for pro football is for any fan whose hometown's reach has exceeded its grasp.
