" Terry Bradshaw is the only quarterback to earn three Super Bowl rings.
But at the height of his triumph as pro football's Most Valuable Player of 1978, he says candidly,
" It was the best season of my life, but it was the worst too. "
This is Terry Bradshaw's own story of that bittersweet season of professional glory and personal anguish.
This is also the story of the difficult road to stardom - the bitter recruitment battles, the pressures of being the number one choice in the pro football draft, and the brash promise he made to his Pittsburgh Steeler teammates:
" Stick with me and we'll get to the Super Bowl. "
He talks openly of his marriage to figure skater Jo Jo Starbuck; of the distressing days when no one, least of all Terry, knew who was the starting quarterback ; of the faith that gives him strength and peace amid the turmoil of stardom; and of his rustic origins that even now make him feel more at home on his Louisiana ranch than under the bright lights of football's fame and glamor.
But this book is also Terry Bradshaw from other perspectives, to provide a more complete picture of Terry as a person.
Writer-sportscaster Dave Diles weaves into the fabric of Terry's story the perspectives of such people as Coach Chuck Noll, Steeler teammates, his family and relatives, and a host of heroes and antagonists who have shaped his life and career.
After three Super Bowls, Terry Bradshaw still finds football fun, " but when it quits being fun, then I'll quit. "
Terry Bradshaw: Man of Steel goes beyond a successful football career to reveal what really matters to the man. "
