    Ezkenazi's book is excellent. A real insight into the early Jets era.

    I read these two, plus Keyshawn's infamous "Just Give Me The Damn Ball", which I believe is out of print. I'm in the minority but I loved that book.

    This is more of a coffee table book but it's still nice to have around.

    I haven't read many football books since I was a kid getting into the game. But I loved those chronological season books where they would tell you game to game what happened in a Jets season.

    Can't remember the names of the books but I remember loving those books.

    Wow, you can get a lot of those bad boys for 4 bucks from the used section. I just ordered that book, "The Pro Style" that Cakes suggested the other day for a 4-spot.


    Does Petro get a cut if we buy through the link? If not, I suggest trying to click on an Amazon banner ad. An amazon banner ad. Amazon Banner ad.

    Yeah this is a great coffee table, or bathroom book.

    If used in the bathroom it goes great with Dolphin/Patriot books that are used for toilet paper.
