My husband pores over sports news, trades, statistics, you name it.  His theory is that sports is a safe, gender neutral topic that just about anywhere and anytime you can find someone to talk to about.  This book would be right up his alley!  Football Rivalries goes back decades in the history of football with details of the games, players, weather, and anything else that was involved in the outcome of the game.  Sports enthusiasts and possibly reluctant readers, especially boys, will find something to talk about from this book.
