- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Since I really only had one big problem with this book I may as well start with it. I don't like the title. Football (or any other sport) is just that, a sport, a form of entertainment and in the end if a team has a good or a bad draft, a good or bad season, it doesn't matter on the same level as a war. Not even close.Other than the title though, it was an amazing book (just as his other books have been). It focused on mainly three teams. the Patriots, the Falcons, and the Chiefs. Although there was a part of the book that sorta of focused on Cleveland, the Jets, and the Patriots take one, all of these while Belichick was there.It was a sort of book about the non-coach tree of Belichick. Dimitroff, the GM of the Falcons, Pioli, the GM of the Chiefs, and Belichick himself, who although he's called the 'coach' of the Patriots, is a sort of GM as well.Another indication of how well written the book was, was that some of it was hard to read just as it was painful to live through in the first place (End of the 2007-08 season against the NY Giants amongst other things). And also I loved the behind the scenes stuff like the fact that before the 16-0 season Belichick asked Lenny Clarke to come in and entertain (uh, and apparently insult in a comedic way) the Patriots. Awesome.All in all a great book. I liked the Patriots stuff the best, but the Pioli and Atlanta parts were interesting too.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This should have been a long article in the Sunday paper. A whole lot of filler garbage to get into book length.
