Reggie White may be my favorite player ever, and I never watched him play. (Skip to the bottom for a quick rant on that, as well as most of the other football thoughts I have on this.)
What you've got in this book are the concentrated effusions of one of the most relentlessly positive and passionate people I've ever read. I mean, there are forests of exclamation points to saw through. I tend to think that this style adds to the likeability and even believability of the narrative, however: if you'

I'm a huge football fan, and I saw a special on the NFL channel that highlighted the Eagles team with Reggie White. The documentary discussed Reggie's faith and I wondered if he'd written any books. To my delight, he'd written several!

Great autobiography of Football legend Reggie White. Only Green Bay Packer that I could root for. Reggie White died a few years back and has been inducted into the Football Hall of Fame.

As a Packer fan, had to read this. Was a good book. A good man who died way too soon.

RIP Reggie. We could've used you last January. Eli knows he dodged a bullet.
