The Book is Out

The 2009 Football Outsiders book is out. Due to some publishing changes and contractual issues, it's not called Pro Football Prospectus this year. Although we had publishers interested in producing the book, the late decision by Plume to not publish the book left us with too tight of a timeline to get a new publisher. So instead, we self published. It allows readers to buy a $13 PDF version, or a $24 printed version. It's still listed on Amazon.

We got a great plug from Sports Illustrated's Peter King. Note item number five from “Ten Things I Think” in the Monday Morning Quarterback article on SI.com. A lot of stuff that he is quoting is my stuff.

Football Outsiders 2009 Almanac hit Amazon last week, and is the #3 best selling sports book (knocking off Thurman Munson thank you very much).

Not that I’m soliciting you, but IF you were going to buy it, we do make more money if you buy it here (https://www.createspace.com/3392071 ) or a PDF version here (http://www.footballoutsiders.com/store ) since we avoid the Amazon sales fee. As an aside, I personally make very little per book so only buy it if you actually want to read it.

I didn't contribute any articles this year. I have been too busy with the new job. I did prepare a lot of the numbers, and some of the text in the Tendency Sections. I think it’s just cool to be a listed Author.
