That Mark Leibovich Insider Book on Brady is Going to be AMAZING!!

[shmessy]

OK, I might be a little biased because this guy graduated in my same year high school class (didn't know him well other than he was a seemingly soft-spoken, smart, good kid) but that Leibovich book on Brady that will be released in 2017 will be a Must-Read. He has tremendous inside contact with Brady and his family.

For those of you not remembering the name, this is the NYT Washington Bureau correspondent who penned the Halberstam/Talese-like piece in the NYT Magazine last January:

and then an update in May:

"New York Times Magazine reporter Mark Leibovich has parlayed the adoring story he wrote about Tom Brady last winter into a book deal. Penguin announced Monday that Leibovich will write about “the cutthroat circus that is the National Football League,” focusing on the Patriots — “the most polarizing dynasty in professional sports” — and its “enigmatic (and equally polarizing)” quarterback. Due to be published in 2017, Leibovich’s as-yet-untitled book promises to explore how “Brady’s ruthless approach to football and celebrity life intersect with the conflicted morality of the NFL.” On Super Bowl Sunday, the Times Magazine ran Leibovich’s profile, headlined “Tom Brady Cannot Stop.” Asked if Brady and the Patriots are cooperating with the author, the publisher is hopeful. “They are aware Leibovich is writing this book, and we have every hope they’ll be involved in its reporting,” a Penguin publicist told us. .?."

I'm sure someone (shmessy) will bump this thread in 2017?

This will be a must read.

Neat that he was in your class.

Guaranteed.

Absolutely a must read.. On my list, after both of Brown's "Smart Football" books.

Did I miss read something? In the May update Leibovich sounds suspicious of Brady's measured responses.

He's a respected journalist. He's not writing a fan book.

Ben Violin wants to know if it has pictures and not too many big words

Well I wasn't expecting him to gush (though the initial article is a love poem) but I'm not looking forward to a book in 2017 in about Brady and Deflategate that continues to cast suspicion on him.

Brady on Deflategate: It definitely had its challenges... Maybe I'll elaborate at a later time.


B-I-N-G-O

As much as I look forward to this, anxiously await the BB tell all... that will dissect all those moves that the fans questioned. Complete with a forward by Ernie Adams..
