Rent: Sports Illustrated Monday Morning Quarterback: A fully caffeinated guide to everything you need to k

By Peter King

Overview & Description

More than two million people a week rush to SI.com to read Peter King's column, Monday Morning Quarterback. There they find a potent mix of analysis, opinion, humor and inside-the-NFL locker- room information delivered as no one else can. In this book, King, the award-winning Sports Illustrated pro football writer, brings the same blend of wit and wisdom, ranging from his famous "10 Things I Think I Think" to his Top 100 player rankings; from the football clichés he hates to the coaching hires he loves; from Brett Favre's golf game to Peyton Manning's comedic skills. And all freshly flavored with King's inimitable observations on the best hotels, the worst airports, the greatest traditions-and coffee, coffee, coffee. There is no journalist better connected to the NFL's players, coaches, general managers and owners, and no writer renders the inside information as entertainingly as Peter King.

I'm a huge fan of MMQB so I really enjoyed this book, but honestly even if you're just a fan of the game you will love it. A smart, entertaining, opinionated mix of classic columns and new material. Like his online column, this book is a must-read for football fans. Peter King really knows football, and this is as close to the game as you can get without putting on the pads!

or at least it would seem from his writing. I read him religiously on Monday's at lunchtime. This book is basically excerpts from his column with some added lists. If you like Peter King's column, you will like the book. I remembered some of the columns and some were new to me. New or not you still get the same thing - insight into the NFL on a much more personal level. All of us that follow the NFL wish to some extent we could be part of it, be part of the decisions, hang out with the players, question the coaches and GM's. Peter is able to do that and then tells the story. It's the closest most of us will get.

i love the NFL and like Peter King's insights. i like listening to him on the radio and read his Monday Morning Quarterback article on si.com just about every week. this book is mainly a collection of previous MMQB articles. there are a few new things (his 100 top players, top 10 draft steals, etc) but the new stuff is very short and there's not much in the book you can't find online. you will probably enjoy this book more if you're not a regular reader on the MMQB article. if you read it regularly, you'll find this mostly to be like watching re-runs of your favorite TV show.
