Customer Reviews

Great football book, but stupid political commentary

Seth Wickersham did an excellent job of telling the Brady, Belichick, Kraft era. It provides great insight to the turmoil of the "Patriot Way". The only negative thing about the book is Seth's desire to write negatively about Trump, whether before or during his Presidency. For instance, he brings up how Trump's relationship with all 3 men caused issues in the team that didn't impact the teams performance. He takes a dig at Trump about his non-appearance at SB LI, but doesn't point out Trump's call that the Patriots would win (which they did). Again, great football book, but he needs to shut up about political commentary that doesn't align with the theme of the book.
