Summary: Pats were Great, Cafardo is terrible
Comment: If you want to relive the magical 2001 season, spend your money on Pepper Johnson's "Won for All" or the Herald's recap of the season, or the "Patriots United" coffee-table book.
Nick Cafardo, a Boston Globe sportswriter, has never shown much talent as a columnist, and his lack of ability is amplified in a work the length of a book. Even worse, in a book that's supposed to be about the 2001 team's march to the title, he couldn't help but continue carrying water for two of his favorites -- Terry Glenn and Drew Bledsoe, constantly making excuses for them. For example, out of nowhere and out of context, he inserts a laughable screed against anyone who dares to criticize Bledsoe. It's bizarre! It's as if he had this whole rant built up and couldn't figure out where to put it and then couldn't contain it anymore and had to stick it wherever he happened to be in the book.
Save your money and go elsewhere. Or if you do feel compelled to read it, use a library.

Summary: Don't bother
Comment: Who let Cafardo write this book
To truly understand how magical the Pats title was...one would have had to believe.
Cafardo didn't
Heck, as much as I hate The Curly Haired Boyfriend Dan Shaugnessey....he would have given this team it's proper poetic justice

Summary: My daughter writes better
Comment: The least the publisher could do was put a subtitle on the cover that says that this is a poorly structured book of strung together game reports one could find in the archive of the Boston Globe.
Sheesh. If a fifth grader handed this manuscript in, he would get a D. One sentence paragraphs, factual errors repeated throughout the book (i.e. Pats were in Superbowl XXXI, not XXX; Jets beat the Raiders to get the Pats first round bye - not Bills beat Jets, etc.), disconcerting game reviews where the second half is reviewed before the first half, cliches, etc.
The Pats' championship season deserved a lot better than this.
