“A unique vision of how fans can go from sad to silly in a heartbeat!”

A Sunday Kind of Love:
A Football Romance

By David Benjamin

Trish is madly in love with her married boss. But the one he loves the most in the whole world is NFL quarterback Brett Favre. As Trish’s strange romantic triangle unfolds, she soars to the heights of victory, plunges into the agony of defeat and ends up forever changed.

Ranging from Lambeau Field and a Packer bar in Madison to the sandy wastes of Jackson County, A Sunday Kind of Love traces Trish through her initiation into the Green Bay Bay Packers’ lunatic fan family. Along the way, she discovers a wild panorama of sports fanatics and Heartland originals—barroom philosophers and football poets, tailgate therapists, surrogate moms and madcap cheeseheads.

What they're saying

“A Sunday Kind of Love goes for it on fourth-and-long — and it’s a touchdown!”

— Gregg Easterbrook, author, The Game’s Not Over

 

“David Benjamin’s sports-savvy novel is a treat — a feast for the senses, an assault on your funnybone. It’s a rollercoaster ride of sex and football set in Wisconsin, a land of cheeses and sub-zero temperatures, where all transports of joy, and depths of despair—nay, the very measures of meaningful life — are linked inextricably to the fortunes of a bunch of burly thugs in green and gold called the Green Bay Packers. Its heroine, Trish, nurses a secret passion for her boss, Allen Andrews, the Deputy Director of the State of Wisconsin Bureau of Fallow Properties and Reclamation. He — alas — loves nothing in the world so much as the Packers, and their nutcase, on-again-off-again wunderkind quarterback, Brett Favre. Trish may be the only living soul in the state who knows nothing about football. To win her heart’s desire, she embarks on a crash course in Packerology that leads to one wonderful, rich complication after another. Read this book — even if you’re not from Wisconsin.”
