[Corban Ford · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great book, printed in 1997, covering each contest of the Super Bowl in the words of the big players for that specific game. From the stars to the role players, from those who had the gift of gab to chapters that could almost be described as "sparse", I enjoyed every page. I picked this book up at a thrift shop years ago, lost it in a series of moves a while back, and just got my hands on a copy to rent via the library, and I am so glad I was able to do so. If you're a sports fan or a football fan, then I give this book 10/10, no notes.
