The only reason I didn't Fanshot this is because it's just too rich and quotable and needs the attention the Fanshots generally don't garner. Anyway...

Up until today I had never heard of it, but I guess Jason Elam wrote a book in early '07...

Book

Elam published his first book in January 2008, titled Monday Night Jihad. He co-wrote it with Steve Yohn, who is director of adult ministries at Centennial, Colorado-based Fellowship Community Church. The book is an action-adventure tale about football and an attempt to stop a terrorist plot.

In a statement issued by his publisher, Elam said, "The genesis of Monday Night Jihad goes back almost 10 years...My brother kept a journal of all the crazy football stories I'd told him over the years. About a year-and-a-half ago, I began to think what if I was able combine all those quirky stories with a terrorist element to create an action-adventure story. Through this story, I want to bring out why people of strong conviction do what they do."
