Football Books

My son got this because he was going to try football this year, well it didn't work out, so I think I'm going to sell the book. It does have a lot of info though. Definitely good book for beginners.

I think it was written for people with a basic knowledge of football and not the non-fan. The terms in the glossary didn't make sense to me at all. Decided to forget about finishing the book and just make appetizers instead for the actual fans....

not never will be and isn't a 'feeder' or
'AAA' League for the NFL. The NFL has not-

I keep this book chair side throughout the college football season and refer to it other times as well. There is great info on each Div 1 team, and it's great to learn how certain names, traditions, etc. were started. A season by season schedule...

The book is a good reference but not as accurate as the Internet or Google today. For example, the book has the wrong information on what College actually put numbers on Football Jerseys. According to the History of American Football and Sports...

Filled with good information but could be improved with annual updates which include prior season records, returnees, recruit class and brief overview of coming season prospects.

The book, admittedly, leaves a lot unsaid but then it is an unfinished story. After all the accusations,both accurtate and inaccurate,the book offers an insight into the man who has accomlished so much. Those who hate the team, hate the coach,love...

I've read several of his books (although this was my first sports book of his) and I highly enjoyed them. Maybe it's because the subject is just not a very interesting person, but this book is just terrible. He tells us material that contributes...

This is a solid book if you want to know the basic facts about the career of one of football's most brilliant but enigmatic coaches. That said, for the unique access to Belichick that Halberstam got, there's not much here that's particularly...

I am a Steelers fan but am open to reading about any football team. This book looks at a couple of years in the life of the New England Patriots. How did they become a NFL jugganaut?

This book pushes the idea that it was the coach...

In purchasing Patriot Reign, I was hoping for a thoughtful insight into modern-day, post salary-cap NFL, a la Moneyball. All in all I found the book to lack in insight. The book provided more of a description of, rather than my sought after...

Michael Holley's quick-read book deals mainly with the modern era of the New England Patriots that have become the so-called "model franchise" of the NFL. Despite a first book-flawed style, Holley captures the impact Coach Bill Belichick had on...

This is an excellent book on leadership and the value of hard work and discipline, the corner stones of success. It also provides an intimate look at the man who defined winning. There are a lot of great quotes and thoughts in this book, whether...

The book is not at all what I wanted. It is more of a gift book than the actual book. It's a small inept version of the real thing. Verify the correct version before ordering would be my advice.

Whether you're a football fan or not, John Feinstein's story about the 1995 season and the history and tradition of the Army and Navy rivalry is a good one. After reading it, I could not help but feel a sense of pride and respect for all the fine...

Good book,you find yourself rooting for the coaches and, to a lesser extent, the cadets and middies. There is something off about the description of the players and their interactions with their classmates. USMA and USNA are hallowed...
