Good to hear his side

Revisado: 04-08-25

Interesting to hear Sonny’s recount of the major events like Nike signing Jordan and the ABCD camps, etc…

Would be awesome if anyone involved in the project actually listened to the reading of the book because the mispronunciations of major basketball figures is embarrassing.

Well-researched on a moving target

Revisado: 03-27-25

The book is an excellent look at the current state of college football. I’ve read both authors for years, and they know their stuff. Great deep dive into all that is going on off the field in college football.

Sports writers must find people who are familiar with sports to read their books. The readers voice is fine, but he is clueless about football and nobody listened to the final product before releasing it on Audible.

Really nothing to do with Ted Lasso

Revisado: 04-06-24

This has solid leadership ideas, but no real connection to Ted Lasso. The author doesn’t reference specific scenes or ideas, but just general concepts from Ted. Author was too worried about avoiding spoiler alerts, even though the show ended a while ago, and misses the mark on what could have been a fun concept.

Heavy focus on Archie

Revisado: 04-26-22

I loved the book. It does have a heavy focus on Archie before getting into the kids. Great insight!

Another sports book read by someone who doesn’t know how to pronounce names.

Terrific work, terrible narrator

Revisado: 03-20-22

The book is very thorough with great insight. Too much time about the relationship with Bobby Knight for my liking, but I understand why it is in there. The narrator is a joke. He couldn’t pronounce several key basketball names correctly. Does anyone even listen to it before the put it in Audible?

Loved listening to the insight into USA Basketball. Also very fair on the good and bad with Coach K. He is no saint.

For the rookie

Revisado: 09-10-20

If you have never heard of football or CTE, this book is for you. The first half of the book spends time discussing football, football’s popularity, and CTE. The second half does a better job focusing on Owen, his story, and the tragic tale of a young player dying of CTE without a significant concussion, but due to numerous subconcussive hits.

I love sports, but...

Revisado: 05-23-20

I love sports, but this read/listened liked an out of date textbook. It took a subject that could have been interesting and made it painful to listen to. I gave up on it about half way through. Seems like they are recycling old material with a few new additions.

Verne was right

Revisado: 04-03-20

I saw Uncle Verne was quoted on the cover as saying this may be the best sports book ever written, and he may be right. Phenomenal story-telling.

Verne doesn’t read the book

Revisado: 03-15-19

It’s a major snafu that Verne doesn’t read the book. The book itself is pretty fun. Cool tales from his days with the Cowboys, working the Olympics, the Masters, and of course the SEC!
