St. Louis summers belong to the Cardinals and winters to the Blues, but box scores miss the inner game. Study Warren Moon on ALL THE SMOKE, with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. Moon discusses racism, family pressure, and secretly attending therapy. Its Secretly Attending Therapy chapter teaches that asking for help is a strength. Undrafted as a quarterback, Moon joined the Edmonton Eskimos and won five consecutive Grey Cups. The Houston Oilers made him the NFL's highest-paid player. He earned nine Pro Bowls, played until forty four, and in 2006 became the first undrafted and first Black quarterback inducted into the Hall of Fame. Chapters also cover refusing a position change, Doug Williams, and longevity, plus research on secrecy, isolation, and stigma.
