A Bit More Ego than Expected
Being a longtime JETS fan, until giving up on the NFL when Colin Cancer Kaepernick bamboozled the spineless commissioner and powers that be, I chose to read some books of the JETS' glory days. " Yes, I know, short-lived and a long time ago. But I became a fan when they entered the league as the Titans and stuck with them until the aforementioned debacle. But, enough about that. I found "You Can't Catch Sunshine" to be a very entertaining, enlightening and enjoyable read. The inside stories ranged from sad to funny to unbelievable to no kidding. I did tire of the unexpected self-aggrandizing. I mean, who caught EVERY ball thrown their way, whether in practice OR in the game throughout their career? That said, it was a good read.
