Summary: All Madden...All Football
Review: Madden tells an interesting tale of how he made his way from a career ending injury with the Philadelphia Eagles to Super Bowl coach with the Oakland Raiders and then to the booth. The interesting take from his writings is the revealing story of how he began his coaching career with San Diego State while he worked alongside folks like Joe Gibbs and Sid Gilman. It was interesting to learn about the early development of the current "west coast" offense and such field strategies that were created amongst this visionary group of men. A good read for the fans of the 60's - 70's era AFL.

Summary: He¿s Madden as hell and he¿s not going to take it anymore
Review: not to be confused with the book '"Hey, Wait a Minute!": Dealing With Feelings and Weight Control" John Madden's first published work deals with all sorts of issue from feelings to weight control. but instead of dealing with those issues on a psychiatrist's couch, it deals with them where they belong -- on the savage gridiron of the football field. if you're looking for some game where little virtual men run all over your t.v. screen, then look elsewhere, because while Madden has become synonymous with his namesake video football, before that he was eponymous with actual football and the playing and coaching thereof. madden's gee-whiz enthusiasm makes the world of football (playing, coaching, the superbowl, broadcasting, beer commercials, groin pulls) shimmer with the scintillating shine of the frill on a cheerleader's hotpants. madden even expresses astonishment at the fact that he wrote a book, even though one 'dave anderson' appears somehow to have been involved. but make no mistake (or throw the red flag if you do), madden's outsized personality (not to mention figure!) comes through on every page, and if you can't help crack a smile at his endless logical positivism and ebullience, then you're probably a twisted, horrible person who enjoys baseball. hey wait a minute! I wrote a review!
