The topic of this book initially worried me; like, how much more is there to say about the most important position in sports? We know the names, have watched the games, and the stats are available at the touch of a button. Even Netflix is now synonymous with Quarterback. 

Enter Seth Wickersham. If you flip to the back of this book, there are pages and pages of sources. So many, that only a writer with a small army could do so much research. 

But then you start reading it. 

Wickersham was once a quarterback himself; a boy with a dream that wanted what all of us want, which is to feel what these men feel when there's a minute left on the clock and 80,000 watching your every move. 

The stories he tells are plentiful, and he never spends too long on one. In a "swipe up video" world, it's a writing style that I thoroughly enjoy. 

He covers the legends, but also spends great time on men I'd never heard of. From Bob Waterfield to Y.A. Tittle and prep Colin Hurley, all of them bonded by quarterback but worlds apart in personalities. 

Many writers re-write the facts, often a formality in English 101. At the end of Forrest Gump, the woman on the park bench tells Forrest, "Well, I thought it was a very lovely story, and you tell it so well." 

Folks, that's the best way to describe this book: the stories are rich in details, and the narratives go so deep. As Steve Young talked, there were times when I thought, this is about as much as I could possibly get without being in this guy's brain.

Wickersham didn't write this with an army of researchers. He wrote it after a lifetime of experiences that allowed the stories to just flow naturally. 

I don't give many 5-star reviews, but this is one. Enjoy it. 

Dan Hurley's new book, Never Stop, is now available for pre-order, with a launch date of September 30th, 2025.

In sports, retirement is often seen as the final chapter. But for some athletes, the call of competition is too strong to ignore.

​In the fast-paced world of basketball, coaches are often the first to take the fall when things go wrong. Whether it's losing seasons, locker room turmoil, or scandals off the court, some coach firings have sent shockwaves across the basketball world. From the NBA to the NCAA, here are the most infamous, surprising, and controversial basketball coach firings of all time.

​Ben Hogan stands as one of the most revered figures in the history of golf—a symbol of precision, resilience, and unmatched dedication. Often referred to as “The Hawk,” Hogan’s legacy is built not just on his nine major championships, but on the meticulous, almost obsessive pursuit of perfection in his swing and strategy. His journey from humble beginnings to one of golf’s greatest icons is a testament to mental toughness, discipline, and reinvention.

​Brittney Griner has long stood out—not just for her dominant presence on the basketball court, but for her role as a symbol of strength, identity, and endurance in modern sports. From dunking as a high school phenom to becoming a WNBA champion and global advocate, Griner’s story is layered with athletic brilliance and hard-won personal battles.

When it comes to NFL coaching legends, few names command the same respect as Bill Cowher. A former linebacker turned iconic head coach, Cowher led the Pittsburgh Steelers with a fiery passion and blue-collar toughness that perfectly reflected the city he represented.
​
From his Super Bowl triumph to his signature scowl on the sidelines, Cowher’s legacy is about more than wins and losses--it's about identity, loyalty, and building something that lasts.

Few athletes in modern sports embody power, grace, and leadership like A’ja Wilson. From her NCAA stardom to her dominance in the WNBA, Wilson has risen to become one of the most influential figures in women's basketball.

As a two-time WNBA MVP and centerpiece of the Las Vegas Aces dynasty, her impact goes beyond the stat sheet. She represents a new era of athletic excellence, advocacy, and cultural relevance in women’s sports.
​
Whether you're a basketball fanatic or just discovering her story, here’s why A’ja Wilson’s rise is one of the most important narratives in modern sports.
