 Best Ever at Linebacker February 6, 2000
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Never been a Bears fan, never will. But who amongst us growing up in the '60s and loving football, did not admire Dick Butkus? Whatta' player! I loved the cover of this book! What a menacing figure! Let's talk about the book. Overall, a good, insightful book but a couple of items disappointed me. First, the ramblings about his falling out with the Bears. After many pages, I felt like saying, 'Get over it!' but considering who I would be speaking to...well. Second, I was curious what his kids grew up to be like. Not much mention of his wife nowadays either. But, this is a book about Butkus and his life was football. Fun to read...

Dick Butkus shows that his talents are not only limited to the football field in this excellent autobiography. This book is a must for any football fan of any age.
The Best Book I have ever read October 25, 1999
Butkus Flesh and Blood is the best book I have ever read. It is a well written book about a great football player. His book has been very influentional to me. He played football like a maniac and seemed to be mentally unstable. After reading the book I will always remember one word: BUTKUS!.
A great book about a truely great player! October 12, 1999

Dick Butkus played a no frills, in your face style of football that entrenched him as the greatest linebacker to ever play the game. Much like his play, this book is a no-frills look into the psyche and environment that produced a dedicated and ferocious player. It was refreshing to read about a player and an era where athletes played more for the love of the game than for the dollar signs at the bottom of a contract. A must read for football fans everywhere, and especially Bears/Butkus fans.
It is a great read. It is a very flowing book. August 13, 1999
