Goin' Deep: The Life and Times of a CFL Quarterback

A quick read, but not thoroughly engaging or entertaining, it just prattles along like an episode of sportscenter, with cliches and worn out sports stories. It doesn't get into too much detail, probably to protect the innocent and his marriage.

Besides the suggestive porn title, there's very little dirty details, except when he gets into his brief stint in Calgary as the head coach and how that all went down in flames. This is perhaps when the book is at its best, as his words become incendiary and personal, a welcome change from the book's statistical rundown and play by play banality.

This isn't a horrible read, but it doesn't offer too much insight in an undercovered part of the sports world.

3 stars out of 5
