Review of
Special Collector’s Edition: The Pack is
Back,
by Gary D’Amato et. al. ISBN: 9780983198550
Five out of five stars
The road to a championship was uneven
The road that
the Green Bay Packers traveled en route to a Super Bowl victory in the
2010-2011 NFL season was full of difficulties. Their record in the regular season
was 10-6 and they managed to acquire a wildcard playoff berth due to the tiebreakers
rather than outright. There were several times when they played poorly and only
barely managed to pull out the victory.
Yet, when the
playoffs began, they had the appearance of a team of destiny, their victories
in the playoffs were not overwhelming, yet the big play was made when it was
needed. This book, written by the obviously biased Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal
Sentinel, is a history of what seemed to be a magical season.
Each game is dissected with explanations as to why the
Packers either won or lost, presented with only a modest amount of bias. The
basic statistics are presented and there
are feature pieces on some of the major players such as coach Mike McCarthy and
Aaron Rodgers. Whether you are a Packer fan or not, this book is one that you
will enjoy if you are a follower of NFL football.
