Balls is the story of a college football coach's fall from grace. Told by the women whose lives he changes, Balls should be required reading for any woman who's ever been involved with a man who's involved with sports.
You might say that Balls is the story of a coach's kick-off, his first, second, and third downs ... and his punt. But this coach's story belongs to the coach's wife, Dixie Gibbs, and to his mother, his mother-in-law, his daughter, his assistants' wives, his players' mothers, girlfriends, and grandmothers. It's the women standing behind handsome Coach Mac Gibbs who know - and tell - the secrets the sports page headlines leave out.
They see football as it really is - sexy, dirty, sweaty, painful, empowering, tainted. And the spin they put on the whole enterprise is ironic, often funny, and not always pretty, as the view from deep inside rarely is.
