The begging of the book starts off as a worst nightmare for all new england patriot fans , which is a recap of the superbowl game featuring Tom Brady and the undefeated patriots up against the young Eli Manning and his giants. In this game the Pats hold the jets to a 3rd and five then a MIRACLE of a play is made by Eli Manning. Eli avoids a sack from New England's best tackles Adalis Thomas and Trent Green and makes a 45 yard pass to David Tyree. This pass puts The Giants within scoring range and a first down. They then go on to scoring a touch down to win the game. This story was put in the book to show how important the role of the quarterback is to the game of football. The role of the quarterback is then compared to the role of the president and how without him the world would not be the same.
QUOTE:
"football is the expression of strength of a dominant race,and to this it owes its popularity and its hopes of permanence"
REACTION:
The quote above is what football truly is. Football is only played by men to express that they are in fact the more dominant race. For that reason football is a test of strength. Football according to the book was made in order to show that they are and will always be in every way more superior to women and in order to establish a a sport that can be played in the Boston.
