Pearlman gives his side of the story. SI only illustrated a very small part of the book which showed the bad but there was PLENTY of good. Jeff delves into the good in this interview. Many are saying he wants to make a quick buck off the demons of Walter yet don't realize that is a very...very small part of the book.

 

Anybody's opinion change after listening?

Not at all. I am done with SI and I will not read that literary bullshit. Everybody has demons but the man died 12 or 13 years ago. If it's such a small part of the book, it should not have made the book. Why drag the man through the mud. Was that part of the book necessary? The reason it's in the book is to make people buy it. So IMHO, this douchebag is trying to make money on Sweetness' trial and tribulations...otherwise, this book would be another "Never Die Easy".

 

I even read the guys blog on his website to see if my opinion was biased and it's still the same. I read his explanation and it seemed like tap-dancing to me.

 

Even Connie Payton said some of the information was not true. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...e-with-her.html

 

I'm not buying it, reading it, or even wiping my ass with it.

Screw him. "Enigmatic" is not the adjective anyone cares to use when describing what many feel is the best RB to ever play the game. He can save his BS. This was a money grab, plain and simple. If he pisses on someone's grave to get there, so be it. I hope to God nobody buys this book.

 

Enjoyed Kass and Haugh this morning. Give them a read.

 

Also, here is the authors contribution to the trib, trying to pedal backwards and get some sales.

Nope. I pretty much mirror everyone's thoughts already stated on this.

I've already argued my points on this topic over at the other message board.

 

I'm glad to see everyone here shares the same feelings over this subject. :D
