Product Information

One fall night in TK, Steve Sabol of NFL Films answered the door to see his friend, Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Tim Rosso" Rossovich, standing there literally on fire . After Sabol knocked Rossovich to the ground and put out the fire, Rosso stood up and (without missing a beat) said, Sorry, I must have the wrong apartment." Pro football has been filled with players like this—loose cannons, rebels and trash talkers. Some players are more likeable than others, and some might even be certifiably crazy…yet what perfectly sane athlete signs up to get belted around by 300-pound behemoths for three hours every Sunday? Why Dick Butkus claims his reputation for meanness—which includes biting a referee's finger—was blown way out of proportion How dumping Gatorade on a winning coach became a postseason tradition Who He Hate Me" was, and exactly why He" hated him. From sideline spats to touchdown celebrations to draft day tales, 300 Pounds of Attitude reveals the true stories of the most entertaining figures that have played the game of professional football.

This is supposed to be a funny book with stories by and about the interior linemen and "big" guys in pro football. We are led to believe there will be new, fresh stories about the "off-kilter" sense of humor these guys (Butkus, Kramer, the "hogs" etc.) possess. Instead, the author gets a lineup of all the usual ornery coaches, loud-mouthed prima-donnas, and wide receivers who get written about every day. He then does a decidedly lacking research job, trotting out the same lame stuff we've read about in the papers, SI, etc., and forgets we bought the book to hear the ribald tales that the forgotten interior linemen generated over the years. He makes one good point - whenever old-timers get together, they don't talk about games - they talk about all the funny stuff "so-and-so" and "Billy-Boy" did back then. Trouble is, the author didn't hear those tales, or forgot that's what he's supposed to be writing about. I read it, but I don't know why - maybe I kept hoping he'd eventually get around to the supposed subject.Read full review
