Fantasy Man Audiobook Summary
The New York Times bestselling author of Slow Getting Up chronicles his descent into the madness of early retirement and fantasy football.
In Slow Getting Up–hailed by Rolling Stone as “the best football memoir of all time”–Nate Jackson told his story face down on the field. Now, in Fantasy Man, he’s flat on his back.
Six years have passed since the former Denver Broncos tight end wore a helmet, and every day he drifts further from the NFL Guy, the sanctioned-violence guy, the psychopath who ran head first into other psychos for money. But Nate hasn’t quite left the game. Bed-ridden by a recent surgery to remove bone fragments in his ankle, he’s trying to defend his title in one of the millions of leagues captivating America through modern fantasy football, the interactive human poker game started by rotisserie leagues, boosted by ESPN and Yahoo!, and now elevated to that rarefied world of vaguely-legal Internet gambling by FanDuel and DraftKings.com.
And this time it isn’t a 300-pound wall of flesh rushing to crunch his spine.
It’s worse.
Exploring the fantasy–and the reality–of professional football after you’ve left the field, Fantasy Man is as funny, self-deprecating, and shockingly honest as Slow Getting Up.

After reading Jackson's first book, I was intrigued to indulge his second. He has a writing style that is both comical and informative. I wasn't sure what to expect with a book supposedly focused on fantasy football, but it was definitely worth the read (listen via audiobook). Jackson has multiple encounters with his fictional secretary and fantasy players. He describes his real life fantasy football league with college buddies. There is an abundance of discussion about his views on medical marijuana and its possible use as treatment in the NFL. And he goes into detail about his role, or lack thereof, in contributing to the screenplay that became the movie Concussion. Jackson is a humorous and witty writer who deserves a little more press than what he receives.

Honestly a great book for anyone who is a football fan. The author talks about his passion for football such as his career , fantasy football and after his career. He dives in to a controversial topic such as using marijuana to help with pain and healing. Quick and easy read.
