THIS BOOK IS ABOUT BRIAN BOSWORTH FORMER NFL PLAYER. THE BOZ TELLS US OF HIS GREATNESS THROUGH OUT THIS EGO TRIP BOOK. THE ONLY INTERESTING PARTS I FOUND, (AND THERE AREN'T TOO MANY) WAS WHEN THE BOZ WAS TELLING US ABOUT SOMEONE OTHER THAN HIM. THIS IS A GREAT BOOK TO TEACH KIDS HOW TO BE A SELF IMPORTANT, AROGANT, BRAGGERT AND BE TOTALLY FULL OF THEMSELVES AND OTHER THINGS. HE TAUGHT ME THAT HAVING A STUPID HAIRCUT, WEARING EARRINGS, GETTING DRUNK AND MAKING AN A--H---E OF HIMSELF IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING A HUMAN BEING CAN DO. A TOTAL PIECE OF GARBAGE.

Is the Boz the best person to ever live? Without question.
How about the book? Well, I have read every book that's ever been written and this, bar none, is the best.
Support the Boz and buy 8 copies. And what a haircut!

The Boz is awsome.
his book, is awsome.
Confessions of a Modern Anti-Hero read like that of an Oliver Stone movie. you don't really want to know the truth cause your afraid at what might happen, but like Stone, Bosworth speaks his mind.
the story of the Boz goes from his high school days to his glory days at OU. Boz tells everything about his college playing days at OU, including his relationship with Barry Switzer.
Brian mentions the steriod incedent and how he felt the NCAA used him as an example. Brian speaks of how the NCAA "prostetutes" it's players because the players bring in money for the school and the program, but the player gets no money for himself. classic example of the pimping business.
Brian also speaks of his rookie season with the seahawks, he tells of his hatred for the golden boy of Denver, John Elway, and his hatred of Pete Rozzell.
Brian's hatred of Rozzell stems from the use of the #44 jersey. Brian wore that number since he was little, and now, the NFL told him that he couldn't use it in the NFL, even though other players had done it. from then on, it was the beginning of a "beautiful" relationship between the two.
and Brian doesn't have boundries in the book. he talks of drug use among other players, alcohol, women, football, the NCAA, John Elway, Switzer, etc.
and the one thing that people never understood was, that Brian was actually a good guy, despite his arogant, Terminator like look.
he had a 3.0 GPA, finished a year early if i'm not mistaken, never used drugs, and wasn't exactly a player. the drugs/steriods issue is covered nicely in the book. he was a man who had respect for himself, and took care of himself.
sadly, his career was cut short, but the image of the Boz lives forever. the clean cut kid from Oklahoma who would turn out to be an All-American LB for the OU and became a modern anti-hero speaks his mind in Brian Bosworth: Confessions of a Modern Anti-hero.

I only recently discovered this book and could not put it down. I have a lot of respect for Brian Bosworth. He is defenitely a man who speaks his mind. The book explains how his father groomed him early on to be someone great and to never quit. There are stories of recruitment tactics and college parties and so on. A great book for any Sooner fan or Bosworth fan like myself. GO BOZ!!

This is a good book about one of the best linebackers in college football in the 1980's. The Boz played for the Oklahoma Sooners and then went to the NFL Seattle Seahawks. This book tells about life in college and on the ball field for Brain Bosworth. This book also tells you about his views on the NCAA.This is a great book for all College Football Fans.
