About the Book

Book Synopsis

Football fans are tired of lame memoirs or technical fantasy football books. Rich Eisen's Total Access gives them what they want--a chance to share in his world of a never-ending football season.

It's about eating, living, and breathing the most popular sport in the history of America. The passion. The pageantry. The pigskin. Thanks to his role as host of NFL Total Access, Eisen gets to go to virtually every event on the NFL calendar--the Super Bowl, the Pro Bowl, the Scouting Combine, the NFL Draft, and the Hall of Fame Weekend. You name it, Eisen is there. And thanks to this book, you can go along for the ride with him--in front of the camera interviewing league MVPs or behind the scenes with some of the game's all-time greats.

Total Access is the ultimate football book for fans everywhere.

Review Quotes

"I've always admired Rich Eisen's work, so it's no surprise to me that his book is very entertaining. What is a surprise is that he's somehow found time to write it in between the NFL Network's 6,347 hours of coverage of weak-side linebackers who could be draft-sleepers. That sort of programming and this book about it are both genuine public services." --Bob Costas

"A lot of things in our lives are far less than as advertised, but this book advertises Total Access and gives you Total Access. That's right. Total Access! I'm not kidding. I liked this book and I'm not a reader." --Tony Kornheiser, columnist for The Washington Post and co-host for ESPN's Pardon the Interruption

"Rich uses his great sense of humor to detail the life of an on-air NFL personality. It is a world I know well, but still I couldn't stop turning the pages. It is a great read---a must for anyone who loves television and Pro Football." --Joe Buck, Fox Sports
