Other added bonuses include: - a hilarious section on the culture of cheerleading - answers to questions you were always afraid to ask - unforgettable words of advice from coach Vince Lombardi - Chuck's Super Bowl party essentials, including a recipe for his "ultimate" chicken wings Playful and informative, The Girlfriend's Guide to Football is a perfect introduction to the game of football.
