  Peter Gent Criticism
Peter Gent, former offensive end for the Dallas Cowboys and author of North Dallas Forty, has written another novel about professional football [Texas Celebrity Turkey Trot].

Peter Gent, who was one of the Dallas Cowboys for five years, writes from experience and is not afraid of giving the reader [of North Dallas Forty] a blow-by-blow account of the horrors of the profession.

This novel is about the darker side of football, about the game's human costs: the shattered knees and broken bodies, all the painkillers required for a player to get out of bed in the morning.
