Seems to Capture Belichick Exactly!!!

I'm a huge football fan and was really looking forward to reading this book given Belichick's obvious mastery. However, it reads exactly as Belichick appears: boring, dry, calculating and sometimes boorish (especially when the book spends time describing the Parcells/Bellichick relationship.)
If you're looking for a great football book and a great read, get Michael Lewis's Blind Side. If your idea of fun is reading text book histories or economics journals, this is your book.
Its a shame that a writer as accomplished as David Halberstam didn't pick someone a little more personable or colorful to base his book on. If Lovey Smith, Tony Dungy or Joe Gibbs had been the subject, then this book would have been at least 10x more interesting.

Great Book about the background and makeup of Coach B.I like the background and an explanation of Coach Belichick as genius of modern football. Halberstam has written another excellent book about sports!
