5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put it down!, July 20, 1999

By A Customer

I loved this book! After years of sports books written by the athletes, it was great to read a book written from a completely different point of view. I picked it up on the recommendation of a friend and I couldn't put it down! Like Melissa, I was sad when it ended, I hope Sally writes a sequel. No fans - especially female football fans - should go without this book! Its also a must read for other professional athletes wives - I'm so glad my friend told me about it!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, June 20, 1998

By A Customer

This is a book that no football fan should do without. It gives you a whole new perspective on the life of an NFL player and their families.

There are stories to make you laugh (Can You Use Your Psychic Abilities to Locate a Lost Pet), cry (Ricki's Story), and inspire (McKenna's Story).

I really enjoyed the book. I had a really hard time putting the book down. When I finished the last page I was sad that the journey was over. Any word of a sequel yet? I'd love to read one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome! I couldn't put it down!, July 16, 2005

By	M. M. Watson "§teelersGirl3" (Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a huge Steelers fan and when Chris Gardocki came the Steelers and I found out his wife had wrote a book I just had to read it. I was very impressed because it really did put you in that "Wife's Room" and it made you see what they go through everyday from stalkers to going to the Pro Bowl. It was very well written and I'm so glad I took the time to read it. It was actually a book that I couldn't put down, any free second I had I was reading that book. I definatly recommend it to someone who wants to know what this wife's going through every Sunday. It's not all fun and games. It also gives you a whole new respect for punters and kickers.
