Bringing the Heat is the story of one team's season-long campaign for the NFL championship, told through the personal stories of the men on the field and the coaches, managers, and owner on the sidelines. The team is the 1992 Philadelphia Eagles, a group of players assembled in the iconoclastic image of their former head coach Buddy Ryan. They are known throughout the league for their ferocious defense and for the otherworldly talents of their quarterback Randall Cunningham. Award-winning journalist Mark Bowden gets deep inside the world of professional football in a way no writer has ever done before, with an insightful and hilarious portrait of one of the most exciting teams ever to play the game. He spares none of the game's ugliness - the greed, the racism, and the often sadistic violence - while capturing the beauty of athleticism at its highest level, the courage of men who face each play knowing that one bad hit can end a career, and above all the exultant glory of victory that inspires their struggle to be the best.

Bowden was like a fly on the wall. He detailed all the behind the scenes activities of the organization. He even had interesting stories about the marriages of Seth Joyner and Wes Hopkins. Both players had girlfriends in addition to their wives and Bowden wrote about some of the explosive times in those marriages.
There are a number of great human interest stories. You will like Mike Golic, Dave Alexander and Ron Heller. Rich Kotite comes off much better than how I remember he was typecast back in 1992. Some very interesting stories about Buddy Ryan and how the Defense was very loyal to him.
It’s a very long book but it moves along nicely for the reader... ( )
