Non l'ho letto nemmeno io! I haven't read those books yet, but I would like to know if someone read those books.
If you're interested on amazon there is a preview, withe the contents table, and some pages to read etc...
The only book that I read about the Patriots are: Patriot Reign and Education of a Coach. I have also Scouting Methods by Steve Belichick but it isn't about the Patriots...
The New England Patriots, Triumph & Tragedy. The author is Larry Fox,
and the book was published in 1979 by Atheneum in New York.
It's by far the best book about the beginnings of the AFL and the Patriots.
at the end i bought 4 - Triumph and Tragedy is really awesome
Q: When you broke down the film from yesterday's practice, was it a tough plane ride for you when you looked at [your] passing performance? I heard there was some Miami favoritism [with] the first pass to [Brandon] Meriweather. Some of those guys were saying, "what's going on?"
WILFORK: I'll tell you what. Meriweather will never get a pass from me again. We didn't even have pads on and he got the gator arms. He acted like he didn't want to catch the ball. I'll tell you what. The defense won. We won. We scored on the second series [out of four times]. Get the ball in the endzone. That's what we did. We did a really good job of that. But you know what, as I move forward, that's something that I have to look at the film and just study and see what the defense showed me out there and come back with another game plan.
could you pls suggest me a book to buy with the history of the franchise from day 1 ? i have allready Tales from the Patriots sideline (M.Felger)
many thanks
What are the best stories, Italian Pat. Are there any Clive Rush stories? It's not in libraries and, believe it or not, I need to wait to purchase anything, even that cheap.
Yes, there are lots of stories. Some are specifically about Rush. This reads like a history of the team as well as the AFL. I didn't know the original AFL folks resisted Al Davis' inclusion into the league. If Minnesota hadn't been added to the NFL in the final moments of the formation of the league, Al Davis may just have become a coverall wearing mental patient in a California State mental hospital. The Broncos almost moved from Denver. The other owners had to prop up the Titans (Jets) due to failure.
The Patriots had a tough time finding a place to call home. Our teams of the mid 60s were excellent, but failed to keep adding talent so they withered away.
It covers the Stingley tragedy quite well.
It's in my public library, btw.
For a good read about the early Pats I recomend Mike Holovak's old book. It's long out of print, so you'll have to dig for it, but it was fascinating.

I will buy it though, it seems like a real original Pats book, not a Felgie Cheesehead copy and paste.
Are you excited for the new season? I am totally psyched for all the talented young players. Love seeing my man Vince stepping up to be a leader.
Did you see he was playing QB with the defense against the offense? It sounded awesomely funny, I'll see where I pasted it and stick it in this thread.
