"...ESPN senior writer Ryan McGee enlists the help of his father and brothers to tell the story of a life lived in black and white. McGee traces his father's 36-year career, from a small college game in 1973 in Greensboro, North Carolina, with a few hundred fans to the 2009 BCS Championship Game with 27 million... Sidelines and Bloodlines isn't just about college football, officiating, or even funny stories from the road. It is about fathers and their sons and the connections so many children make with their parents through the unique magic of sports."--Dust jacket flap.
