Long time New York and Sports Illustrated sportswriter Paul Zimmerman died yesterday at the age of 86. Zimmerman covered pro football for SI for over 30 years, but had been silent since 2008 when he suffered the first in a series of strokes.
He was a terrific writer and reporter, and 1971 he wrote what I consider to be the single best book about pro football that I have ever read, "The Thinking Man's Guide to Pro Football."
A revised edition of the book was published in 1984.
If you love pro football, but have never read this book, it might behoove you to track down a copy and give it a read.
RIP Paul Zimmerman.
