First of all, Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer sounds like something other than a book about football. And the author has obviously never been to Oakland. Or Tempe.

The cliché is that football games, especially, are attended by mobs of drunken testosterone-pumped ruffians spoiling to brawl. The reality is that the occasional off-color chant is the worst it gets at 99.9 percent of American football contests. In Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer, his new book about football fan mania, Warren St. John writes, "I've been going to football games since I was six, and I've never seen anything beyond a fistfight or the occasional fraternity scrum."
