Now, in Fantasy Man, he’s flat on his back.Six years have passed since the former Denver Broncos tight end wore a helmet, and every day he drifts further from the NFL Guy, the sanctioned violence guy, the psychopath who ran head first into other psychos for money. But Nate hasn’t quite left the game. Bed ridden by a recent surgery to remove bone fragments in his ankle, he’s trying to defend his title as top dog in Bunny 5 Ball, one of the millions of leagues captivating America through modern fantasy football, the interactive human poker game started by rotisserie leagues, boosted by ESPN and Yahoo!, and now elevated to that rarefied world of vaguely legal Internet gambling by FanDuel and DraftKings.com.And this time it isn’t a 300 pound wall of flesh rushing to crunch his spine.It’s worse.Exploring the fantasy—and the reality—of professional football after you’ve left the field, Fantasy Man is as funny, self deprecating, and shockingly honest as Slow Getting Up.

Fantasy football and after his career He dives in to a controversial topic such as using marijuana to help with pain and healing Quick and easy read Nate Jackson his first book was far better and relevant I m still not sure what the hell this book was about other than cashing in on the first book Nate Jackson is no Hunter S Thompson and writing in that fear and loathing style seems like a poor copy rather than an homage from the material thrown in there is a book there I just wish he or his editor had a way to make it work Nate Jackson Heard this guy on NPR talking about this book I thought it was going to be about marijuana as pain medication but just kinda meandered along through his daily life Nate Jackson I finished Nate Jackson s first book.

This book surprised me in a good way I received this last year as a Hanukkah present and thought it was about fantasy football so I kind of laughed it off because I thought it was just my buddy trolling me been to the championship 3 times in 4 years never won Anyways started reading and it s of a memoir and talks a lot about CTE and medical marijuana Very interesting read especially from a former player s perspective Jackson is a unique writer Only thing preventing me from rating it higher is I needed substance Nate Jackson Honestly a great book for anyone who is a football fan The author talks about his passion for football such as his career Slow Getting Up a few weeks ago It was excellent an inside account of life in the NFL that fans crave but never seem to get So I went right out to read his follow up Fantasy Man Disappointment ensued There is no true central narrative which would be OK if Jackson was a great writer He isn t but he acts like one Every few paragraphs contains a one liner random aside metaphorical callback or poem that doesn t land They re distracting and tend to overwhelm the otherwise just OK book I hope he tries again but drops the Hunter S Thompson act Nate Jackson Fantasy Man: A Former NFL Players Descent into the Brutality of Fantasy FootballThe New York Times bestselling author of Slow Getting Up chronicles his descent into the madness of early retirement and fantasy football.

Maxx crosby fantasy Exploring the fantasy and the reality of professional football after you ve left the field Fantasy Man is as funny self deprecating and shockingly honest as Slow Getting Up Fantasy Man A Former NFL Players Descent into the Brutality of Fantasy FootballI d give it less than 1 star if I couldI bought this on the promise from the cover that it would be about fantasy football. Fantasy manhwa with op mc And while the shiny wrapping is about that topic the meat and taters of this book is smoking weed marijuana conferences and CTEI wouldn t have minded those topics if the cover had been honestWaste of money and time for someone looking for fantasy footballBut if you somehow hear what the book is really about and want to read about those things then here it is Nate Jackson If you play fantasy football you will enjoy reliving your stress over your fantasy team If you have never played FF then you will think it is describing a mental illness It provides some funny stuff and is an easy enjoyable read Nate Jackson The title may lead you to believe this is a book about a former NFL player playing fantasy football It is not It s a stretch to call this a book as it meanders through terribly unfunny guy humor It is however very bad and one of the worst sports books I ve ever read. Fantasy map pinterest So there s that Nate Jackson An ex NFL player writes about his time as an ex NFL player The book is loosely focused on his fantasy football team but the narrative wanders aimlessly into discussions of marijuana loathing for football fans and concussions Altogether a poorly written self indulgent book that I finished only because I was interested in what an ex player s life is like Nate Jackson After reading Jackson s first book I was intrigued to indulge his second He has a writing style that is both comical and informative I wasn t sure what to expect with a book supposedly focused on fantasy football but it was definitely worth the read listen via audiobook Jackson has multiple encounters with his fictional secretary and fantasy players He describes his real life fantasy football league with college buddies There is an abundance of discussion about his views on medical marijuana and its possible use as treatment in the NFL And he goes into detail about his role or lack thereof in contributing to the screenplay that became the movie Concussion Jackson is a humorous and witty writer who deserves a little press than what he receives Nate Jackson
