Sundays in the fall and early winter months were all about football and with my dad, 49ers football (yes, we have a family loyalty to New England/Boston teams, but this was our West Coast team). I remember watching Montana and Rice connect on the field and it was electric. I didn't know all the rules about football-still don't- but the drive and spirit rang out loud and clear whenever those two took the field.

I found this book very interesting. It is interesting to see how famous people started out. Jerry Rice tells of his days growing up and how he made it to the pros after attending Mississippi Valley State, a Division I-AA school. Jerry also tells about how the NFL is a business in addition to being a professional sport. What surprised me the most were his views about other players in the league. If you are interested in sports and want to see things from the perspective of one of the best pl

I found this book fascinating! I have always been a 49ers fan, even if the last few years have been brutal. Jerry Rice is a legend and one of the greatest wide receivers ever. Reading about where he came from and how he became what he has today was pretty cool. He is a straight laced guy and is not afraid to share his opinions. In fact, he tells it like it is when it comes to players that are lazy, but I'm sure that comes from the fact he is a true work horse. It is a very easy and fun rea

I love Jerry Rice. He is one of my favorite athletes of all time. So I definitely was going to read his book. He's definitely no Steinbeck, but I enjoyed some of his thoughts on his playing days and some of his stories of the '9ers back then. He definitely spent a ton of time talking about Dancing with the Stars, other than seeing that he is bitter that he finished second - because he is one of the most competitive people ever, which I found useless.

Jerry, you are a cool dude.
This auto-biography details the rise of a star. It weaves in tales of playing with legends: Joe Montana, Steve Young, and T.O. He also tells how he missed some of the finer things in life due to how driven he has been. He missed some things and now he is making up for it. He inspires the reader to try things outside of their comfort zone, (e.g. Dancing 'with the Stars'_).
I enjoyed it.

wasn't impressed. while it's very clear Jerry Rice had a tremendous work ethic, you can't help but hear the "what about me and my money" attitude coming through in this book.

I have a new found respect for Jerry, he's not just a football champion but an incredible family man with good values and a competitive ballroom dancer.
