Anybody get the book?
Couple, three things I'd not heard:
1. Pierce said the key in 2001 for Tom was beating out Damon Huard in preseason for the backup position. It wasn't replacing Bledsoe, that had to be done because he was severely hurt. But, if Damon were the backup, he would have been in there instead of Tom.
2. Brady could have blown up the Michigan clubhouse, even gotten Lloyd Carr fired (according to Pierce) because everybody in there wanted Tom starting, not Drew Henson. But, Brady kept quiet. Good, Tom.
3. On draft day, when Tom was getting no respect (it went into the second day with him), as round after round went by. Finally, some QB I'd never heard of got drafted. Tom's sister said Tom said he was going to take a walk. She noticed he'd taken a baseball bat, looked out the window and saw him destroying something in the backyard. Bad, Tom.
Anybody get the book?
Oh yeah, that's right, I read some of that while waiting for my wife at a Barnes and Noble.
I wrote a review of it on my blog, if anyone's interested.
Mich Dave, you should have written the book. I hate it when people get things wrong.
