Overview
A unique and unparalleled look into the nature and relationship of two of the pillars in the NFL’s greatest dynasty.
The greatest dynasty in NFL history stood on two pillars – Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Together they forged a working relationship that provided thrilling results that would change the NFL forever.
But what was the nature of that relationship? How did it function? How and when did it falter? How did these two figures come together on a national – and global – stage and create the most dominant team in NFL history? Was it driver and passenger? Mentor and mentee? Superstar and mad scientist? Phenom and tactician? Or were they equals? The Yin and Yang that made the New England Patriots championships possible? It is the greatest unanswered question in NFL history that sparks animated debate across the league, and the answer is more complex and more fraught than anyone really understands.
Brady vs. Belichick: Who deserves the credit for nine Super Bowl appearances and six Super Bowl championships?
Veteran NFL insider and New York Times bestselling author Gary Myers draws on his unique and unparalleled access to Belichick and Brady over the course of the two decades, but also to the myriad players, coaches, personnel and family, to get to the bottom of this argument and resolve it once and for all. He drills into the numbers, analyzes the psychology and sociology of this partnership, and use the powerful wand of perspective and context to illuminate the greatest duo that has ever graced the game.
Review
My husband has been a fan of the Patriots since he was young. I have watched tons of games. So, I jumped at the chance to read this.
I honestly felt this was a bit one sided. Everything was Belechick’s fault. These two guys could not have done what they did without each other. Both are super smart and talented so that always comes with egos. Do I know what went on behind the scenes? No, I do not. But I do know no body is perfect. And it takes two to tango.
I was also not a big fan of this author’s writing style. Just because this is a sports biography, you don’t need a lot of sports metaphors.
Now that all of that is out of the way, this is very well researched and full of interesting tidbits. And the narrator, Jonathan Todd Ross, is a pro!
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
