Haven't read it, but it looks interesting:

"the rise of the left tackle—the offensive lineman tasked with protecting the quarterback from the pass rusher—whose presence is felt only through the game-deciding absence of said sacks. A rare creature combining 300 pounds of bulk with "the body control of a ballerina," the anonymous left tackle, Lewis notes, is now often a team's highest-paid player."

The Chiefs sure aren't the same team without Willie Roaf...

Huh. This one was under my radar. Thanks for the link, FringeNC. I really enjoyed Moneyball, and am looking forward to reading this one.
