Just Give Me the Damn Ball!: The Fast Times and Hard Knocks of an NFL Rookie"Well, son, I guess we have to go the to bank." That's what Leon Hess told me the day the Jets drafted me as the number one player in the NFL draft. But that first day, the day of the draft, was one of the happiest days in my life, because I knew I was ready to make things happen in the league and help turn things around for the sorry ass Jets. But what a nightmare Week after week, loss after loss. The Jets went in with a loser reputation, and they

"Well, son, I guess we have to go the to bank." That's what Leon Hess told me the day the Jets drafted me as the number-one player in the NFL draft. But that first day, the day of the draft, was one of the happiest days in my life, because I knew I was ready to make things happen in the league and help turn things around for the sorry-ass Jets. But what a nightmare Week after week, loss after loss. The Jets went in with a loser reputation, and they were earning it all over again. We had no emotion, no energy, no hunger. The media tried to cover it all. Rich Kotite tried to explain the disasters away. But nobody outside the team knew the real truth of what really went on. This book is going to change all that.

A must read for every black person
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I thought the book was very powerful and in depth! I wanted the biggest version of the book! Nevertheless I found this book very in depth and informative! We must learn from our forefathers and understand or try to imagine what they went through! We can do this today now in 2024! We must unite and teach our children this rich history of us building and supporting each other as black peoples!

The sadness of the massacre
Format: Paperback
I am not sure how I came across this book but am glad I did. This is one reason why we should never try to erase our history whether good or bad. Sadly, I feel the hate still lingers amongst people but I will never forget when Dr Martin Luther King was assasinated. I was just 19 and my heart sank to lose such a good leader. This book opened my eyes to look and support our leaders whether white or black. Skin color does not define who we are

An Impressive detailed account for many to learn from
Format: Paperback
I haven’t finished with 2 chapters remaining but it’s a well thought out and vivid account of the horrific events of the Tulsa massacre. I was a novice on this event, having only known the high level details, and was given a more detailed lesson and edification of he horrific massacre of the Greenwood district of Tulsa OK. Well done Mr King!
