Ocho Cinco (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

After all the wild touchdown celebrations, the trash talking, the blond mohawk, and the gold teeth, football star Chad Johnson has been warned to tone it down. “Sorry,” Johnson says. “It ain’t happening.”

This book might get the man in trouble. Cincinnati Bengals number 85 (or “Ocho Cinco,” as Johnson likes to say) gives it up in a memoir that is, like the author, over-the-top, controversial, and highly entertaining.

This hard look at the game -- and business -- of football shows fans what goes on in the huddle, the locker room, and all those places the cameras miss. Johnson talks about everything–the already mentioned egos, competition, money, partying, and his own public battles with other players, coaches, and the media.

Ocho Cinco also discusses Johnson’s tough upbringing and hard-run path to stardom and has some candid words about his team, the fear of failure that drives him, and the grueling training that keeps him dominating. Like a wide receiver exploding off the line, Ocho Cinco is coming hard and fast.
