Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"We were a struggling franchise, yet we had some very interesting talent.... We actually did exceedingly better than people anticipated us doing from year one."
--Seahawks wide receiver Steve Largent on the fledgling franchise in the late '70s

"Hasselbeck is a really fine quarterback and more athletic than people give him credit for. I think the fact that he's a bald, white guy makes people think he's not an athlete."
--Dave Wyman on quarterback Matt Hasselbeck

"Not a mean bone in his body, yet Tez destroyed anyone in his path during the 1992 season. He was the most dominant player in the NFL in the early 1990s. If they made a cartoon after his character, every child would love him. Tez proved nice guys can finish first."
--Paul Moyer on 1992 NFL Defensive Player of the Year Cortez Kennedy

"Brian Bosworth was a great guy. We almost instantly hit it off. But `the Boz' was another story. I think I was probably the worst person for him in that regard because I was totally intolerant of all that `Boz' crap."
--Dave Wyman on the two sides of Seahawks linebacker Brian Bosworth

I enjoyed this book from cover to cover. I am a long time Seahawk fan and loved the 80's football players. This book made me laugh out loud.

This review is from: Then Zorn Said to Largent: The Best Seattle Seahawks Stories Ever Told (Best Sports Stories Ever Told the Best Sports Stories Ever T) with CD (Hardcover)

A great read if you like the game of football. Great stories about how the game used to be more about football and less about the hype we see in the NFL today. The book provides a look at how physical and tough the players are in the NFL. Moyer playing with a ruptured testicle (ouch!) Wyman being traded to San Francisco and then sent back because he could not pass the team physical(bad shoulder), but then being on the field a few weeks later for the Seahawks with the same bad shoulder. You do not need to be a Seahawk fan to enjoy this book. Kind of a real life version of a watered down North Dallas Forty.

I thoroughly enjoyed this quick read. It is a gossipy little book that gives some chuckles and answers some questions. For instance, I finally learned why the Nordstrom family sold the Seahawks to Ken Behring.

It covers character sketches and personal histories of many players from the past. Having been a fan of the Seahawks since their inception, it was interesting to read about the personal side of great guys from the past like Chuck Knox, Kenny Easley, Joe Nash and many others. It covers what was going on with the team from season to season, the psychology of winning and losing.

Paul Moyer and Dave Wyman have with the help of Chris Cluff written the book in a style which is similar to getting together over coffee and reminiscing. I have recommended it to friends both male and female who are Seahawk fans.
