Pigskin Dreams

“The People, Places and Events that Forged the Character of the NFL’s Greatest Players”

Authors: Dr. Stephen Below and Todd Kalis

Publisher: Byrd and Bull Publishing

Publication Date: 2010

ISBN: 978-0-615-31128-9


This slim volume contains 22 great stories of inspiration from 22 famous football players who used their skill, determination and great desire to succeed to get them where they are today.


The back cover proclaims that it’s a book full of “success gems” that every person who wants to be successful would benefit from being exposed to and incorporating in their own lives. I’ll go one step further and say put this book right into the hands of the young reader. Most young boys (and girls) idolize in some manner well known football players. Let them listen to the words about hard work, striving for your achievements, encouragements to keep on, etc. from men they think “made it” and “have it all”.


If Steve Young wanted to give me some words of wisdom, I’d sure sit down and listen. Some of the other greats telling their tale in this book are Merle Olsen, Mike Ditka, Dick Butkus and Johnny Unitas, plus quite a few more.


A great book for any football fan, or just for someone that needs a little encouragement to keep aiming for their goals.

My husband is patiently waiting for me to finish my review so he can rip the book out of my hands!

Welcome to the Book Review Section at the Dew!

If you are a publishing house or author who has a book Southern in nature, or by a Southern writer, that you would like the Dew to review, please contact me at dewonthekudzu@gmail.com and I will provide you mailing information. (Wink wink, nudge nudge... the Dew has been getting a little lax about the Southern rule recently... just saying.)

The Dew tries it's best to have a review online as close to the publication date as possible, depending on the number of books waiting for review.

Please note, book reviews are the Dew's "business". The Dew does NOT post it's reviews on other sites. Please do not request that we do so. Thank you.

BUT, if I review your book, you may feel free to share it wherever you wish!
