I just finished reading "When the Clock Runs Out" and I thoroughly enjoyed every page-turning minute. The stories are captivating and the photographs are outstanding. Kudos to Bill Lyon and Cynthia Zordich on a job well-done. A must-read for any football fan or even those of us just dealing with life's transitions. I hope they consider doing another editon featuring more players and their stories. OUTSTANDING!
