Giants: What I Learned About Life from Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry
Pat Summerall with Michael Levin - 2010 Wiley
For anyone ever wanting to have a conversation with Pat Summerall, this is the book to read. The style is more casual than academic as it goes through Summerall's perspectives and experiences as a player and broadcaster.
A player in the 1958 Championship Game, the only player to be coached by Lombardi and Landry in the same season, and one of the greatest broadcasters of all time, Summerall speaks in an easy and friendly tone. Additionally, there are no traces of arrogance or pride as Summerall frankly admits that throughout the years there were always people back home asking, "So what have you been up to lately?"
An easy and interesting read of the influences two giants had on one.
