Bombdirt Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I'm looking to fill up my summer reading list, and I'd like to put a couple of Jets-themed books on there. Can anyone recommend a good biography of a player or a history-type book about the Jets in general? I see Namath has a handful of books, and I've been meaning to read Maynard's bio for years but never got around to it. That one looks pretty interesting.

Highly recommend it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must read for the Michaels-Walton era: Nose-to-Nose - Survival in the Trenches by Joe Klecko and Joe Fields the other must read was mentioned in a post aabove: Collision Low Crossers. That one is probablyt he best of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a first hand account of how INEPT Rex & his coaching staff was. Rex's book was simplistic, at best, and showed me the first signs of what Collision Low Crossers and the 2012-2014 seasons confirmed: Rex is a FừÇKING MORON! the whole Jeff Cross thing is just weird.

section314 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Not Jets related, but a great football book. " A Civil War...Army vs. Navy. A Story of College Football's Purest Rivalry." It's by John Feinstein, and it chronicles the 1995 season of both Army and Navy, culminating in "the game" in Philly. Once you start it, you won't be able to put it down. It will forever change the way you watch the Army-Navy game. it's the best sports book I've ever read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
