Title: A lesson to be learned here...
Review: Overall, a truly enjoyable read. I find it disappointing, however, that like many of the "Baby Boomer" generation (perhaps best typified by the subject of his last major biography) Mr. Maraniss deems it necessary to attempt to debunk the "myths" surrounding a truly incomparable figure -- perhaps reflecting the need of this generation to justify their own personal shortcomings. The true irony of the book is that the larger than life persona of Lombardi, his contribution to the game he so loved, and his commitment to a higher standard of ethics and morals shine through unscarred, despite the author's attempts to convince us otherwise.
