Summary: Check Sports Illustrated Article on Colorado 1988
Review: before purchasing this book. McCartney ran what was arguably (not really) one of the more criminally inclined and out-of-control football programs in America during the late 1980s through the early 1990s. The criminality wasn't the usual low-rent criminality associated with many college powerhouse programs i.e. ticket scalping, casual drug use, and drunken driving. Try rampant rape by football players, drug dealing, extortion, etc. The amount of criminal activity surrounding Pastor McCartney's team was so great that the local police used to carry copies of the football program to show potential crime victims. The week that Barry Switzer's last Oklahoma football program made the cover of Sports Illustrated for their off-the-field shennanigans, Colorado also managed to land an article, featuring the exploits of Buffalo football players, all recruited and coached by none other than Coach McCartney. Before McCartney continues his preaching to American males, he might want to offer an explanation for the conduct of his former players.

Summary: Great Christian Reading
Review: This book is for those coaches who still believe there is a place for christianity in today's football. For the coach who inspires to be the best christian, father, husband, coach and friend he can be.
