Book Reviews of Tales from the Patriots Sideline

Book Review: Fun Book
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great book for all Patriots fans. For us fans in Connecticut, the chapter "The Hartford Patriots" still stings, but at least the author acknowledges the possible move...as most Patriots history sources seem to erase it. Most interesting was the chapter "Eason vs. Grogan." I had no idea how much of a whimp Eason really was (even though he slid like a girl not to be touched after a run)...to the point of telling management if they activate him, he won't play. Even Steve Grogan, the quinticential NFL nice guy, is quoted saying Eason was not tough enough for the league.

Every Patriot fan will enjoy this book. And you have to love the countless pictures of the best logo ever, Pat Patriot!

Summary of Tales from the Patriots Sideline

Some of the most entertaining stories from one of the most remarkable franchises in sports are told in this revealing look at the Super Bowlchampion New England Patriots. While the teamĀ?s owner, coach, and stadium now all rank among the best in the National Football League, the team was known for decades as having comically inept management and ownership, as well as the worst stadium in the NFL.

In Tales from the Patriots Sideline, former players share their tales of the tumultuous years. They played home games in six different venues, as well as one in Birmingham, Alabama. Their initial owners had to sell the team after going bankrupt promoting a Michael Jackson concert tour. The new owner may have been even more inept. Their coaches have been a colorful lot, too, including one who accepted a new job the day before a playoff game.

From the AFL years through the lowest of low seasons, Patriots history has also been sprinkled with the occasional spikes of success, including two Super Bowl trips that ended in double-digit losses. They were a franchise on the verge of being relocated before current management took the team to its new heights as two-time Super Bowl champions. Fans can find stories about it all in Tales from the Patriots Sideline.
