Too many incomplete passes in your relationship? Not getting into the end zone enough?

Maybe you need to read "Winning Points with the Woman in Your Life One Touchdown at a Time: How to Score for Men and Women" (Fireside Books, $14.95) by Jaci Rae.

This book, just in time for Superbowl, uses football terms to explain the mysteries of women and dating. It's full of practical advice for men and women, plus football trivia and advice from NFL players.

Sometimes, you just have to speak their language.
