Yep, another book deal ...

I'm in the process of finalizing the deal for my 19th book, which will be written over the course of the year and hit stores in 2014. Normally I would wait until after the contract is signed, which should happen over the next couple of weeks, to make any sort of announcement but in this case I don't think there's any risk of jinxing it.

Besides, I've already started working on it and already know my deadline.

As for the subject matter, I'm going to hold off a little before revealing it, mostly because I don't want to give anyone any ideas before it goes to press, but the photo is a very strong hint. Tom Brady vs. the NFL makes the case that he's the greatest quarterback to ever play pro football. I'll be doing something similar with someone else.

Meanwhile, for those of you who have read the Brady book, the concept is the same but the execution will be very different. My guess, and hope, is that this book will outsell 100 Things Crimson Tide Fans Should Know and Do Before They Die, which we updated last year.

P.S. I've been asked to contribute to another book as well, which would be No. 20.The details on that one have to be worked out, but I like that it's a nice round number.
