Worth listening to, but has some flaws.

Would you consider the audio edition of Just Win, Baby to be better than the print version?

No, probably the same.

What other book might you compare Just Win, Baby to and why?

None that I can think of.

What aspect of Jeremy Arthur’s performance would you have changed?

His voice was pleasant, but his speech was sometimes halting. Many times I couldn't tell if he was ending a sentence or starting a sentence. He also didn't do the work of looking up words that he wasn't familiar with. E.g., he wasn't even close when he pronounced Kezar Stadium.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was good, but four or five sittings was fine.

Any additional comments?

I am an ex-NFLer and played against and knew many of the athletes described in the book. Also, I met Al Davis once just after I retired, and he said to me very sincerely, "Let me know if I can do anything for you." So naturally, I wanted to find out more about the man. The information about Al Davis, the AFL, the merger, and great players was all very interesting, but I felt it had two major flaws. One was that the author repeated himself a number of times, and sometimes he described certain scenarios at least three times (so and so was sent to such and such team). Secondly, the author was hired by Davis to write the book, and he was also a friend, and so he comes off as a Davis apologist. The majority of the book seems as if Davis wrote it himself--much praise for the great Al Davis. Still, I would listen again, as I learned a lot about the game I played and loved.
