Nate Jackson

Easy to read, and a nice insight into some of the inner-world of professional sports. It also serves as a reminder that these people are not heroes, just people in an extraordinary position to play a game and be paid for it.

While the story lacked a real coherent flow, i couldn't stop reading it - it made me have so much more respect for the average NFL player -- this sport is brutal!

I dig memoirs, what can I say?

Written by a very young man, with all of the positives and negatives that implies. I'm reminded of the Ray Romano joke about his son: "he brags about things he should never admit."

But it's fairly essential from the standpoing of watching the NFL, both in terms of knowing the (human) costs associated, but also in terms of understanding how management works there. All the secrets of why good teams succeed and terrible teams are terrible are right here.
