My favorite character is Barry Sanders because he won the Heisman TrophyI liked the time Barry scored 37 touchdowns in one season.And the first time he ever played, he only scored 7 touchdowns in one season.

On the record - Not too factual
It didn't seem that Dan reviewed this book before it was printed. One part of the book, Dan says he threw the trick play against the NY Jets to Fryar. That was wrong, it was Ingram. The next error is that he was making NY think he was going to throw it into the dirt. There is no dirt in NY, it is all Turf. Last, he said that the noice is so loud with all the NY Fans in the stadium. Everyone in NY knows that that stadium is 1/3 Dolphins Fans when Miami comes into town.

Great pictures, Marino speaks
Some excellent pictures of both the Dolphins and Marino.Marino speaks of both the good and the mediocre of his career from his upbringing and his family through his wife and kids.He doesn't touch on any huge surprises or vent any frustrations.A good book for the huge Marino fan.I went through it in about 1/2 an hour sitting in the store.Nice for the coffee table ...

Simms to McConkey
I liked this book.It tells the story of 2 men who took different routes there, but helped a team win a Super Bowl.No offense to Mr. Simms, but the part I really enjoyed was Mr. McConkey's story.Graduated from the US Naval Academy, served in the US Navy, and only after eyesight problems prevented him from remaining an aviator he tried out to play Pro Football.He was considered too old and too slow, yet still had 2 receptions for 50 yards in a Super Bowl.And according to Bill Parcells could "catch punts in a rock slide".It's a great story for a sports fan. ...
