Customer Reviews

Dated...but still a winner

Keeping in mind that the latest edition of "One Knee..." was published in 1987, I found the book to be funny, informative, opinionated and dated. For instance, Madden frequently refers to "up and coming stars" like Elway and Marino. Written in John's usual breezy, earthy Joe Sixpack style, "One Knee..." is still a good, quick read for NFL fans. Especially fans who have fond memories of players like Joe Montana and Walter Payton.

ANOTHER GOOD READ FROM JOHN MADDEN

ONE KNEE EQUALS TWO FEET IS ANOTHER FINE BOOK BY JOHN MADDEN. HE GIVES US SOME INSIGHT INTO WHO HE RATES AS THE BEST IN EACH POSITION. HE ALSO OFFERS SOME TIPS AS TO WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN ANALYZING WHAT KIND OF PLAY WILL BE RUN AND HOW EACH POSITION SHOULD RESPOND. JOHN DEFINATELY HAS AN ENDLESS AMOUNT OF ENERGY, KNOWLEDGE, AND HUMOR. HIS ENTHUSIASM FOR FOOTBALL IS BOUNDLESS AND VERY CONTAGIOUS. I ENJOYED THIS BOOK AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT FOR KNOWLEDABLE FOOTBALL FANS. VERY WELL DONE.

A very exciting football book

This is a great book for all football fans. John Madden proves in this book that he is a football genius. This book is filled with facts from the NFL's history. Madden adds many points that the average fans don't know, yet keeps the book very easy to understand. I recommend this book to anyone who likes football.
