*** PLEASE NOTE THERE'S A BIT OF BAD LANGUAGE AND ADULT SUBJECT MATTER IN THIS CHAPTER ***

This is Chapter 21 from the audiobook version of my new novel, Pound Foolish.

Here's a description of the book:

Part locker room chronicle, part neo-noir, all American: Pound Foolish tackles a season-in-the-life of a pro football team that has a serial killer in its midst.

Someone is murdering women in the orbit of Detroit's NFL franchise. But also: a new season is kicking off and nobody can really prove anything. Plus football is one of the last remaining ties that bind a city. So...the games will go on. And they should. Right?

Enter our gumshoe. Mouse Morrison is a former player the team brings in to investigate. The further Morrison digs into the locker room-and the more lunkhead players we meet on their journeys of supremacy and self-destruction-the stronger a stench of conspiracy becomes. Is this a coverup? How deep within the franchise and the league does it go?

The team keeps winning games. The bodies keep piling up. The whole mess bleeds from the sports section to the front page, nobody's sure what to believe...and absolutely everybody has an opinion.

Pound Foolish is a rollicking, cinematic murder mystery set in a multi-billion-dollar circus teeming with killers. It pulls back the curtain on a sport that grips America's psyche, and also owns a bloody chunk of its soul.

For anyone tired of fantasy football advice that feels like it's just repackaging the same stats and headlines, the Harris Fantasy Football Podcast offers a different path. Hosted by Christopher Harris of HarrisFootball.com, this show is built on a simple, labor-intensive premise: ignoring the box score to actually watch the game film. The conversations you'll hear are born from that tape study, moving beyond superficial numbers to discuss how players are really being used, what the schemes reveal, and which performances are sustainable or due for change. It’s a process focused on understanding the "why" behind the results, whether dissecting a rookie's route-running or a veteran's changing role. This approach informs every episode, aiming to provide actionable insights that help you build a more resilient roster from your draft through the playoff push. The goal isn't just to offer weekly waiver wire names, but to foster a smarter, more nuanced way of thinking about player evaluation and team management throughout the entire NFL season. Tune in for a detailed, film-driven perspective that cuts through the noise of the fantasy football industry.
