Foreword / by Bruce Arians -- Tampa Bay scheming -- Endings and beginnings -- The arrival -- A training camp unlike any other -- Making history-- on a coaching staff -- Brady's struggle-- on and off the field -- A gem washes ashore in Tampa -- The mastermind -- Learning and growing -- The turning point -- A man named Tom in full -- The conquering of quarterbacks -- Super Bowl LV -- The GOAT boat -- The work begins again.
"The extraordinary behind-the-scenes story of how Coach Bruce Arians, Tom Brady, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came together to deliver one of the most improbable Super Bowl victories in NFL history." -- The prospect of Tom Brady, six-time Super Bowl champion and widely-acknowledged greatest football player ever, joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a historically hapless franchise that hadn't made the playoffs in more than a decade, seemed unlikely. It would be the ultimate test for the ultimate football legacy. Brady's new coach, Bruce Arians, also had much to prove. Together, like so many aged snowbirds, Brady and Arians had decamped to Florida to make the most of their remaining years. Anderson shares inside stories and new insights into Brady, Arians, and the Bucs. He captures the rhythms of perhaps the strangest NFL season ever, turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bucs' quest for one glorious season in the sun becomes a riveting sports epic. -- adapted from jacket
