Jason Elam and the Great American Novel

So Jason Elam wrote a book. The above title is not a joke. It is called "Monday Night Jihad," and it's about a special-ops commando/pro football linebacker (not a kicker, sadly enough) who fights terrorism in the USA and overseas. Sound like anyone familiar? Since we personally have never written novels here, we won't really make fun of it--for most of us, writing anything more than 3-4 pages of cohesive story is a hell of a process (but then, "and Steve Yohn" might mean Jason simply contributed to a ghostwritten book.)

Although we won't make fun of the overall effort, let's face it. It's a stupid title. It sounds like a "Family Guy" joke (Peter Griffin: "Boy, this is worse than the time our cable went out and we had to watch Hamas TV." Hank Williams Jr: "Are you ready for some jihad?") and Elam sure as heck didn't write a comedic novel here. If you'd like to read the first part of the book, click here to go to Amazon.

So if you have any family members who like Tom Clancy books, or the Bourne Identity, or just want to read something written by a football player that isn't a biography, pick up "Monday Night Jihad" by Jason Elam and Steve Yohn. It's the perfect holiday gift, Broncos fans!**

AMERICA!!! F*** YEAH!!!


**disclaimer: may not actually be a good holiday gift.
