There are rough words in this book. I did not use such language gratuitously or to be provocative. I used it in some instances because I believe it necessary to adequately recount a memory or share an anecdote from my years in the league. In other instances I used it to convey a sense of the environment in which I loved to work. If this language offends you or stops you from sharing this book with a young person you don’t believe should read such language, I am sorry. I will note, however, that if you or such young person wish to have a career in football, such language is not aberrant, it is the norm.
