  • The Following Players Comprise the 1975 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set
    1975 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1975 season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble.

Brand Brock Lesnar doesn't "give a shit" about this review, neither anyone else's. It's repetitive and, really, kind of boring. I never thought of myself as a football player, even when I was exploding through the defensive line. The lesson I learned from this book was that no matter how hard it is to get what you want you can reach it if you want it bad enough. A few years out of date now, but this is a quick read and gives an over view of Brock's upbringing, college and professional endeavors. Ergodebooks Richmond, TX, U. What struck me the best about the book was how if he really wanted something he got it no matter how hard it was he got it. Then he quit. After reading this book, I respect him immensely and see him in a different light. Who is the authour? However, I heard a few things about him, and decided I give this a look to see what was fact and what his thoughts were on a great many things. In some instances, his decision making skills can be rivaled by that of a bag of Cheetos i.
