Product Description
Football fans are tired of lame memoirs or technical fantasy football books. Rich Eisen is going to give 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.

 Highly Entertaining, Rich Eisen writes the way he speaks! May 8, 2008

Total Access is a funny, well written view into the world of the NFL by the journalists that cover it. The book offers a look at what it's like to cover the most popular sport in America. What makes the book so compelling is that the stories are written in the same manner that Rich Eisen speaks, his descriptions always offer some humor, and the personal anecdotes are what make the book so appealing. A really entertaining read!

congratulations rich, great book, great sport... hope to have nfl network in latin america
Must-read for fans of the NFL and NFL Network December 24, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Rich Eisen's book "Total Access," is a great inside look at the goings-on of the NFL Network and its programming. I know a couple of reviewers said it was recycled material (i.e., transcripts of interviews that Eisen has done) and that's true. But certainly most readers have not seen every single interview that's ever been aired, so there's bound to be something new in that regards. Also, there are many great anecdotes about players and the NFL Network crew, in particular a great story regarding former head coach and present analyst Steve Mariucci and a piano in the crew's hotel in Canton, Ohio (it can be found in the Hall of Fame chapter).
My favorite chapter may have been the second, which was about the Pro Bowl. Rich Eisen does a great job of illustrating how laid back it is at the Pro Bowl and some of the cool interactions that go on between players and the NFL Network crew. The chapter about the Combine is very interesting in particular as well.
If you love Rich Eisen, the NFL Network, and football in general, you should find this book very fascinating. It didn't take me long to read at all and it probably won't be long until I read it again.
 Commercial December 3, 2007

This book is basically a 300+ page commercial for the NFL network. Wish there was more research and backstory instead of a rehash of the last 1 or 2 NFL seasons.

I'm thirty pages into this book -- and I love it. I'm buying copies as Christmas gifts for all the football fans in my family.
Rich Eisen paints very entertaining detailed pictures with a lot of humor that makes it accessible to NFL freaks as well as casual fans like myself.
