About this listen
With a foreword by Coach Bruce Arians
The extraordinary behind-the-scenes story of how Coach Bruce Arians, Tom Brady, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came together to deliver one of the most improbable Super Bowl victories in NFL history.
The pursuit was so shrouded in secrecy that it was referred to within the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ organization by codename: Operation Shoeless Joe Jackson. Indeed, the prospect of Tom Brady, six-time Super Bowl champion and widely acknowledged greatest football player ever, joining the Bucs, a historically hapless franchise that hadn’t made the playoffs in more than a decade, seemed about as likely as Jackson emerging out of an Iowa cornfield in the movie Field of Dreams.
But come Brady did. At age 43, pushing the boundaries of football mortality and without Bill Belichick by his side for the first time in his NFL career, this would be the ultimate test for the ultimate football legacy. Brady’s new coach, Bruce Arians, also had much to prove. One of the great offensive minds of his generation, Arians returned to coaching in 2018, at the age of 65, in search of the one achievement that had eluded him throughout his illustrious career: a Super Bowl championship. Together, like so many aged snowbirds, Brady and Arians had decamped to Florida to make the most of their remaining years.
Renowned sports journalist Lars Anderson was granted extraordinary access to the inner workings of the Bucs’ organization. The result is a remarkable work of sports journalism, peppered with wild inside stories and new insights into Brady, Arians, and the Bucs. From the practice facility to the team plane, from the garage where Brady treats his footballs to the huddle on gameday, Anderson captures the rhythms of perhaps the strangest NFL season ever, turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic. In his telling, the Bucs’ quest for one glorious season in the sun becomes a riveting sports epic.

The Super Bowl champion wide receiver for the New England Patriots shares his inspiring story of an underdog kid who was always doubted to becoming one of the most reliable and inspiring players in the NFL. Relentless is the story of Edelman's rise, and the continuing dominance of the Patriot dynasty, filled with memories of growing up with a father who was as demanding as any NFL coach, his near-constant fight to keep his intensity and competitiveness in check in high school and college, and his celebrated nine seasons with the Patriots.

Enter Dan Shaughnessy, then the beat reporter for The Boston Globe who covered the Boston Celtics every day from 1982 to1986. It was a time when reporters travelled with professional teams—flying the same commercial airlines, riding the same buses, and staying in the same hotels. Drawing on unprecedented access and personal experiences, Shaughnessy takes us inside the legendary Larry Bird-led Celtics teams.

Story
We are living in the Wild West of college sports. Name, Image and Likeness endorsements, the transfer portal, collectives, conference realignment, the powerful influence of media companies have all rendered the notion of amateur athletics a quaint relic of the past, replaced by a Brave New World where money and self-interest rule. The Price is a sweeping, in-depth, thought-provoking look at an inflection point in big-time college football.

Just nice to pull back the curtain
It was an easy listen, been a tb12 fan his entire career, nothing too surprising or intense… just a peek on the inner workings of his 7th Super Bowl win

Enjoyable and interesting
A fascinating portrayal of a single season in football, especially of the relationships within the team.

Great Story
Good book. Great story. It was an very enjoyable, relaxation book for me. As a Packers fan (and owner 🤣) I was more interested in the story behind the storybook season. I got it!

Tom Brady and Joan of Arc are the world’s greatest comeback warriors
For Brady fans, the behind the scenes detailed narrative is catnip. Well done and probably edited by Tom’s Dad, it is an unblemished but amazingly accurate tale of an impossible and improbable quest for greatness.
Tom, thank you for the incredible ride since 2001.

What a ride!
A great inside look into the team, the season, the coaches, and fun stories about how everyone became who they are today. A great read whether you are a fan or not.

Great story
What a story of two very determined people, Coach Bruce Arians and QB Tom Brady. What a great season for Tampa fans.

Good read
A good read, but has some factual errors in it, some of which are hard to understand. The biggest one being that it was Brady's 11th Super Bowl. But I would recommend it.
