Story
John Feinstein has already taken listeners into the inner circles of top college basketball programs in The Legends Club. This time, Feinstein pulls back the curtain on college basketball's lesser-known Cinderella stories - the smaller programs who no one expects to win, who have no chance of attracting the most coveted high school recruits, who rarely send their players on to the NBA. Feinstein follows a handful of players, coaches, and schools who dream, not of winning the NCAA tournament but of making it past their first or second round games.

Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1997, Don Shula remains the winningest coach of all time with 347 career victories and the only undefeated season in NFL history. But before he became the architect of the Dolphins dynasty, Shula was a hardworking kid selling fish on the banks of Lake Erie. As acclaimed sports biographer Mark Ribowsky shows, Shula met serious resistance at home when he asked to play high school football, but when his parents finally relented, they discovered that their son had an unmatched mind for the game's strategy and a stomach for its brutality.

Al Davis was such a polarizing figure that people either admired or despised him. Most cared about what Davis thought on any issue, and he was captivating before an audience. Yet Davis rarely revealed much about himself, his philosophy and decision-making. Everyone knew of Davis and his catchy slogans, especially "Just Win, Baby". But no one knew much about the man. Everyone, it seemed, had a strong opinion about Davis, but precious few had enough information about Davis to proffer an informed description.

Life in the minor leagues of football, which NFL Europe has been aptly dubbed, can be funny, sad, profound and ludicrous all at the same time. At its heart, this six-team league is a short-stop away from either the glamour of the NFL or the bottom of the professional football scrap pile - a crossroads full of real-life drama where the joy of "making it" can be tempered by failure or injury with one misstep; where the difference between a multimillion dollar NFL contract and abject poverty may only be one play away.

Three days before the 1969 Super Bowl, Joe Namath promised the nation that he would lead the New York Jets to an 18-point underdog victory against the seemingly invincible Baltimore Colts. When the final whistle blew, that promise had been kept. Namath was instantly heralded as a gridiron god, while his rugged good looks, progressive views on race, and boyish charm quickly transformed him - in an era of raucous rebellion, shifting social norms, and political upheaval - into both a bona fide celebrity and a symbol of the commercialization of pro sports.

Chuck Noll won four Super Bowls and presided over one of the greatest football dynasties in history, the Pittsburgh Steelers of the 70s. Later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, his achievements as a competitor and a coach are the stuff of legend. But Noll always remained an intensely private and introspective man, never revealing much of himself as a person or as a coach, not even to the players and fans who revered him.

Editor reviews
Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy recounts his life and career, which includes his storied tenure with the Buffalo Bills, whom he led to four consecutive AFC titles in the early 1990s. While there are many thrilling tales of games - including the Bills' miraculous comeback win over the Houston Oilers - more important are the lessons learned through triumph and defeat, all told with vibrancy, good humor, and insight. Alpha Trivette's buoyant and colorful performance enhances Levy's marvelous prose, making Marv Levy: Where Else Would You Rather Be? a joyous, engrossing experience.
Summary
Forty-seven years of joyous celebrations after victories and crushing disappointments after defeats are encompassed in Marv Levy: Where Else Would You Rather Be?, but it is about more than just touchdowns and interceptions - it’s about how a person like Marv Levy, dedicated to his life’s work, can begin his career as the obscure assistant coach of a high school junior varsity team and decades later lead a team to the Super Bowl. Listeners will learn about the character, persistence, and personalities of those incomparable Buffalo Bills of the 1990s who so resolutely pursued their impossible dream. Sports fans will look forward to each adventure contained in this audiobook, and will no doubt agree with the sentiment of the author: “Where else would I rather be than right here - right now!”

Marv’s marvellous!!!...
Marv’s articulations of his experiences are a joy, he leaves you to make up your on his abilities.. It’s long but well worth it , when you finish the overwhelming emotion you are left with is “wow , what a guy”. If you want too experience the inside of the NFL, it’s all in there for you...Throughout this book there was nowhere else I would have rather been..

Maybe for a Bills or Levy fan
If you are already Marv Levy fan and want to know more about him, this book will definitely fill that void. Alternately if you are a big Buffalo Bills fan looking to enrich your history of major people in the franchise, this may be of interest to you as well. However if you are just a football fan or someone looking to gain insight into football from one of the better coaches, you will probably be disappointed. To me, the book read as a personal memoir with a few chuckle worthy jokes that were alternately self-deprecating and digs at others when Levy felt something that went wrong wasn’t his fault (like his stint at Cal). Full disclosure: I didn’t bother finishing it. I got about halfway through before I gave it up as a waste of my time.
