First, his fourth book (and his third on sports-fixing) came out last week.
A Season in the Abyss: Sports Gambling vs. The NFL's Integrity is a study of (I believe) the 2014 NFL season looking through the glasses of sports gambling.
I forgot the link that he put a free chapter of the book on the refereeing in the NFL on his website before the book was published, and can't seem to find it again.
You can find out more about the book and where to get it at Brian's website.
One caution: I usually will NOT discuss Brian's books on this website. I do that out of respect for the substantial amount of work Brian has done, and that he's done it as an academian and a published author. I do not feel it proper to rip off his work, even if I credit it.
Also, I tend to approach this subject a bit differently than Brian: Brian's a respected academian and author about it. He's worked with people from Florida State University and other respected institutions about this kind of endeavor. I'm, more, the pissed off ex-fan who's not unwilling to throw language (and maybe even the veiled pseudo-threat or two!!) at some people who truly piss me off.
The second thing I'm throwing in is this little ditty Brian Twittered out today...
Ex-Big 10 lineman turned cop told me at picnic how team would discuss point spread & point shaving in huddle. Might follow this deeper...
