[Sean Kottke · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick, entertaining read for fans of the 90s Lions. Not a comprehensive oral history of the Lions, but an NFL memoir with an emphasis on Brown's years playing with the Lions and Brown's thoughts on the Lions' performance (and future) in the 21st century.

Enjoyed most of this book. I thought it would be more about the lions in general but this is specifically from the point of view of Lomas which is great...just know that ahead of time.
