Stewart previously used this approach—an annotated rules quiz book—to explore baseball in You're the Umpire. Now he looks at the rules of pro and college football. The concept works better for baseball for three reasons: the baseball rule book is simpler, baseball rules do not undergo major changes on an annual basis as do those of pro football, and the rules for pro and college football differ pretty significantly. Stewart intersperses his questions about pro and college rules, but that just seems confusing. Better to have separate sections for the two. An interesting concept, but one that will likely become dated more quickly than his baseball work. Likely to appeal to some football fans.
