Summary: Like having Terry over for coffee
Review: Nope, I didn't ever see him play, BUT I enjoy him on the FOX pregame/halftime show. I have heard so much negative gossip about him that I thought it would be nice to hear how/what HE did/thought. I have to say listening to him as if he were sitting across the table from me was refreshing. I think reading it would have done less for me. Autobiographies should ramble a bit. It makes it so much more real and personal. He makes you laugh. He is a really neat guy from what I heard on this audio book.Let me have an AMEN on that!

Summary: GOOD OL BOY
Review: TERRY BRADSHAW PERSONIFIES HUMOR. I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK FOR VARIOUS REASONS. I ENJOYED HIS RETELLING OF HIS STEELERS DAYS AND HIS RELATIONSHIPS WITH VARIOUS TEAMATES. HIS DOWN TO EARTH HONESTY IS ANOTHER FACET I FOUND REFRESHING. AND ABOVE ALL WAS HIS STORY TELLING OF HIS EXPERIENCES IN THE BROADCASTING BUSINESS. I ENJOY THE PREGAME HYPE WITH BRADSHAW AND HIS 3 COHORTS EACH WEEK. HE HAS CERTAILY GROWN OVER THE YEARS, HE CAN POKE FUN AT HIMSELF AND YET BE SERIOUS ABOUT THINGS IN LIFE. VERY RECOMMENDED FOR ANYONE WHO ENJOYS HUMOR A GREAT STORY TELLER.

Summary: Beneath the laughter is the pain
Review: There are two Terry Bradshaws: the real Terry Bradshaw from Shreveport, LA, who led the Pittsburgh Steelers to four Super Bowl victories, and the character that also goes by the name of Terry Bradshaw, a backwoods bumpkin that doesn't know how to pronounce "sushi" correctly. Both Terry Bradshaws are evident in this book, and sometimes they are a little hard to separate. Although he keeps a lighthearted, almost comedic tone through much of the book, it is easy to detect pain beneath the laughter. There is the pain of failure in his personal life (as a Christian, he is embarrassed by the fact that he has been married and divorced three times). There is the pain of never quite being accepted by the fans of Pittsburgh, which is why he has seldom gone back there after his playing career. And of course, that lingering pain of being regarded as something less than intelligent, which he has exploited to create the "character" Terry Bradshaw. Also, there is lots of physical pain which just simply comes from being an NFL player. Mostly, though, there is the laughter, and there are the good times. Bradshaw believes his mission in life is to make people feel good, to make them laugh, to bring them joy. Although he has learned some hard lessons (like don't get into the cattle business unless you know what you are doing, and don't become a spokesman for a toupee company), he treats everything with good humor. That makes this book an enjoyable read. Oh, and did I mention that he called all his own plays?

Summary: Terry Bradshaw On Terry Brandshaw
Review: There's no denying it. You either love this guy or you can't stand him. I've yet to meet anyone who feels any other emotion about Terry Bradshaw. This book just might change some of the perceived negatives about the man, if the reader keeps an open mind. What Bradshaw is most proud of is justified. The man loves his children, is proud of where he came from, & he can't get enough football. The first QB to win FOUR Super Bowl rings doesn't wear them! He says it's enough that he knows he has them & why. (I like that a lot!) The book is filled with typical Bradshaw country yarns, football stories, etc., & most are self-effacing. I bought the book as an admitted voyeur into the workings of the NFL & it didn't disappoint. It gave me many a good laugh & I counted on Bradshaw doing that too. If you love football & good short stories, Bradshaw provides both in an easy read to pass an afternoon. With Terry Bradshaw, what you see is what you get. His book is a reflection of the man and he's a very good man indeed!

Summary: Loved this book
Review: This book covered everything I hoped to hear about - from college QB thru Pittsburgh and into TV's best pre-game show. The book is fast paced, enjoyable throughout and quite informative. All that's missing is a couple of one-on-one hours with Terry to ask more about everything.

Summary: Laughed Out Loud
Review: This is one of the funniest autobiographies I have ever read. Several times during the course of my reading, my wife feared for my sanity as I laughed hysterically. Two incidents in particular had me howling: Terry's adventure with the horse, and when his Dad opened the box from the marketing firm.
Terry has always been one of my football heros and now I have a great deal of respect for him as a person. This account is warm, funny, and honest. By the way, he called his own plays . . .
