Hell yes! I loved that part of the book, I was ready to tackle my couch after reading that.

I read it when it first came out. I really enjoyed it and think it would make an excellent movie.

Did anyone (like myself) have dreams of doing coke after reading the book. I would read it at night before i went to sleep and i would have crazy a$$ dreams. And yes i got goosebumps as well. The description is phenominal.

The big question, who plays double nickle in the movie?

Christian Slater

I don't think he's real busy right now...

he could play himself in the latter end of the movie.. i dunno if christian is a big guy still he could poissibly play it in the beginning. since he may still have a connection in LA unless he isnt clean. Who knows??

I haven't read it, but sounds like I must! I did go to jasonpeter.com last night and listen to archives of some of his interviews. The first few interviews were great. Then, I hit a couple where it was obvious the interviewers never even opened the book. It was incredibly irritating because it sounded like they thought they were going to get some big expose on the University of Nebraska and TO. And, when they didn't get it, they pretty much cut him short.

If you're going to interview someone about their book, shouldn't you have at least read a chapter or two?

You would think so. as some things mentioned in the book that may have crossed the fine line in the rules of college football and i think that my be where they were trying to get to. but really..... what team hasnt tried to get an edge and what team no matter who they were won a national title without crossing the fine line somewhere?

Just picked up 'Hero' at the bookstore the other day. I have several books in queue before I get to this one, but I'm looking forward to it. Sounds like a good read.

Great book. I had a lot of respect for JP as a player but even more after I read what he went through. To come through what he did and make something of himself says alot about him. He has to be an inspiration to people that are struggling with substance abuse.

In a movie, the only person that could play Jason is...Tim Tebow.

Because Tebow doesn't to push-ups. He pushes the earth down.

When he falls in to the water, he doesn't get wet. The water gets Tim Tebowed. (I know those are old, but they are my favorites.)

I have about 14 pages left. I do not know how the man survived. He is one lucky SOB. If I were his parents, I would kick his a$$ now that he is sober. I have really enjoy listening to him on the radio. He has really grown as a commentater. He knows some sports much better than others. Too bad he isn't downtown teaching the youngens about Husker "D". Could you imagine a pre gmae speech from him? Best chapter is the Game Day one... every sentence gives me fricking Goose bumps. A must read for any fan.
