 Highly Entertaining, Rich Eisen writes the way he speaks! May 8, 2008
Total Access is a funny, well written view into the world of the NFL by the journalists that cover it. The book offers a look at what it's like to cover the most popular sport in America. What makes the book so compelling is that the stories are written in the same manner that Rich Eisen speaks, his descriptions always offer some humor, and the personal anecdotes are what make the book so appealing. A really entertaining read!
such a great book! January 14, 2008

Imagine you are not from US. Imagine you live in Chile, bottom of south america, where all you have is ESPN's Sunday Night and Monday Night games and nothing else...
Well, "total access" lets you understand why american football is so popular and, if you already love fotball, like it more than you did before.
congratulations rich, great book, great sport... hope to have nfl network in latin america
Must-read for fans of the NFL and NFL Network December 24, 2007

Rich Eisen's book "Total Access," is a great inside look at the goings-on of the NFL Network and its programming. I know a couple of reviewers said it was recycled material (i.e., transcripts of interviews that Eisen has done) and that's true. But certainly most readers have not seen every single interview that's ever been aired, so there's bound to be something new in that regards. Also, there are many great anecdotes about players and the NFL Network crew, in particular a great story regarding former head coach and present analyst Steve Mariucci and a piano in the crew's hotel in Canton, Ohio (it can be found in the Hall of Fame chapter).
My favorite chapter may have been the second, which was about the Pro Bowl. Rich Eisen does a great job of illustrating how laid back it is at the Pro Bowl and some of the cool interactions that go on between players and the NFL Network crew. The chapter about the Combine is very interesting in particular as well.
If you love Rich Eisen, the NFL Network, and football in general, you should find this book very fascinating. It didn't take me long to read at all and it probably won't be long until I read it again.
 Commercial December 3, 2007

This book is basically a 300+ page commercial for the NFL network. Wish there was more research and backstory instead of a rehash of the last 1 or 2 NFL seasons.

I'm thirty pages into this book -- and I love it. I'm buying copies as Christmas gifts for all the football fans in my family.
Rich Eisen paints very entertaining detailed pictures with a lot of humor that makes it accessible to NFL freaks as well as casual fans like myself.
