| 2. |  | War As They Knew It: Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler, and America in a Time of Unrest
from Grand Central Publishing
Price: $17.81
Customer Review:
For me, a college student of the 70's, this was a great reminder of the social times we endured - sit-ins, the war in Vietnam, riots, Kent State, the drug scene. The book was also an interesting look at the rivalry between Woody and Bo which is like none other in football history. Mr. Rosenberg does... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 3. |  | Running for My Life: My Journey in the Game of Football and Beyond
from HarperEntertainment
Price: $17.13
Customer Review:
I thought the actual story of the family was great. But the writing was a little rambling and included too many repeat stories. The story could have been pieced together a lot better. | 3.5 / 5.0

| 4. |  | The Genius: How Bill Walsh Reinvented Football and Created an NFL Dynasty
from Random House
Price: $17.16
Customer Review:
I loved this book, but I am also a huge 49er fan. I could see how a non-49er fan might not love the book, as there is a lot of play-by-play accounts (which I loved). For example, the book gives some background behind "The Catch", which I thought was very interesting. It's neat to know what was going... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Ballantine Books
Price: $16.50
Customer Review:
Rather than get the DVDs, I decided to get this book for my wife (we're both Giants fans, but she bleeds blue). She couldn't put it down. I started reading it as well and it's great to get Tom's perspective on the ins and outs of an NFL season. Things that you don't see when you're watching the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Simon & Schuster
Price: $13.14
Customer Review:
I avoid sports biographies like the plague, but the subject of Vince Lombardi always kept popping up in conversations about sport and coaching methods, even here in Australia. So I decided to buy this amazing book from Amazon and am so glad that I got so much out of the brilliance of David Maraniss'... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Da Capo Press
Price: $13.28
Customer Review:
This is a very good book, but I did not appreciate the black magic marker mark on the bottom part of the book. It made it look like that book was retrieved from the garbage pile at the printers.
The book provides a very good history of the Rooney family and the Steelers. | 4.0 / 5.0

from PublicAffairs
Price: $19.05
Customer Review:
Absolutely fascinating book about someone who well deserves to be better known. i.e. in recent the passing of Sammy Baugh, the obviously deserved accolades didn't mention Friedman but should have. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 10. |  | The 17 Essential Qualities Of A Team Player (Becoming the Kind of Person Every Team Wants)
from Thomas Nelson Publishers
Customer Review:
The title John Maxwell chose for this book could not be much more self-explanatory. The subject of The 17 Essential Qualities of a Team Player is just that. In his introduction, Maxwell shows he believes one of the best ways to improve a team is to "improve the individuals on the team." He... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
