Great Read!
This is a factual and compelling account of the bounty gate scandal and its impact on the Saints 2012-13 Season. More than that, it's an indictment of the corruption that has become so prevalent in the NFL. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the saints, football, or the NFL as an institution.
