I've only got one chapter left and I've only had the book for a little less than 2 weeks. I know others have read it in faster time but I've not a reader at all so for me, this is extremely rare. I can't believe that I'm almost finished, I wish it was longer, some of the stories are just incredible. The experience of bringing Wally to BC, how things fell apart in Dallas with Jerry Jones, the backstage pass to preparing for an NFL Draft, the final years of Dan Marino in Miami and documenting the '00 AFC Wildcard Game (in which I was in attendance), the Casey Printers-Dave Dickenson era of the Lions...so much insight, so interesting, so honest. I love the fact that no punches are pulled and that the colorful language from some heated exchanges weren't left out.
