[Chip Rickard · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed the book for the most part. I liked what the people who knew him well had to say about him. However, I think the book could have done without some of the interviews. I don't think 20 pages with Jim Foster was necessary. I think Steve Sabol's story wasn't necessary. Bob Costas seemed to be in there just to plug his book. Others seemed to be in there just to plug what they were working on.

Lots of background on Kurt from those who have known him (a bit too a lot), as well as hundreds of interesting facts about sports, however, it reads more like unedited interview transcripts than a well-researched book. Liked it, but didn’t love it.
