Reviews

[Carlton Duff · Rating 3 out of 5]

Most die hard Jets fans probably will not discover much new in this book...but a decent overview of the organization, the important players, coaches, games, etc.

[Daniel Basuk]

I learned a lot about the Jets from this book. I now want to do a lot of things this book said to do. It was a great book and very Jets fan should read this.
