Great Read about the greatest Football player ever..
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I loved it!But then again I am a huge Bears fan and a huge Butkus fan,good ol 51 played the game like nobody ever did and I enjoyed reading about how he grewup and about the Bears on and off the field and its mangement,I always thought Bears mangement has always been skummy and this book proved me right,I loved this book though as it was great to hear stories about the players and how they spent there time and about picciolo and sayers etc,I met Butkus about 4months ago and he looks great and seams to be doing well.

The Best Book I have ever read

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!

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.
As honest as a Butkus blitz. Good read that keeps your inter

A good book that gives you a chance to hear the facts straight form the best Middle linebacker to have played the game. Butkus takes you inside and tells it like it really was. His dealings with Papa bear,how he felt about the game from a child to a man and how things were done in the NFL in his time.Very interesting how the popular stories of Dick Butkus actually came to be.This book is as honest as a Butkus blitz.
