Synopsis

This is the absolutely guaranteed 100% mostly true story of the man who gained sports immortality as the first quarterback to win four Super Bowls. After ending his playing career, he was voted "America's most popular sports broadcaster" in a nationwide vote.
"I had a real job once..." begins a memoir as honest and downright hysterical as Bradshaw himself. From his humble beginnings in Shreveport, Louisiana, to his success as the centerpiece of the highest rated football studio show in television history, Terry has always understood the importance of hard work. A veritable jack-of-all-trades, he has probably held more jobs than any other football Hall of Famer ever, from being a pipeline worker, a youth minister, a professional singer, actor, television and radio talk show host, to one of the nations's most popular speakers.
But let's not forget why so many people know and love Terry Bradshaw: he won four Super Bowls -- and as he will remind you: "I called my own plays." Terry brings the listener into the huddle and describes the game from the bottom of a two-ton pile to the top of the sports world. You'll sit right on the 50-yard line and watch as Terry earns the title: world's greatest bench-warmer. And you'll also hear about the single greatest play in pro footballthe Immaculate Reception -- as he never saw it.
It's Only a Game is the personal account of a great man's search for life before and after football...as only Terry could tell it.

Goodreads review by Vincent on October 08, 2014

On entertainment value alone I give this book five stars. I read the majority of this book in the cafeteria of my employer, and I found myself constantly trying to stifle my laughter. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because it comes across as a little disjointed. It's in basic chronologi......more

GREAT book. Loved it. Full disclosure: I'm a Terry Bradshaw fan, have been ever since I saw him give a motivational speech several years ago. Also on the docket that day were Rudy Giuliani, Collin Powell, Zig Ziglar and several other well known speakers. Terry Bradshaw was the best speaker of the da......more

Goodreads review by Jason on February 04, 2017

I waffled between giving this 3 or 4 stars. It was a good read...entertaining and enjoyable...but it was very loose in its organization, and lacking any real substance. Having said that, there were a number of times that I chuckled out loud. Bradshaw is a great story teller, weaving his brand of sel......more

I picked out this because I have seeing Terry Bradshaw in various things and I wanted to know more about him. I hate football but I love his personality.

Goodreads review by Bob on June 08, 2024

I’ve had this for a while, and I finally read it. Some of the stories are really LOL FUNNY. There are other times he seems like a complete jerk. He mentions his faith often, but his actions don’t really show he’s all that kind. Other times I wondered how much of this is made up?? He claims he’s not......more
