āSeth Wickersham has managed to do the impossible: he has pulled off the definitive document of the Belichick/Brady dynasty.ā
āBill Simmons, The Ringer
The explosive, long-awaited account of the making of the greatest dynasty in football historyāfrom the acclaimed ESPN reporter who has been there from the very beginning.
Over two unbelievable decades, the New England Patriots were not only the NFLās most dominant team, but alsoāand by farāthe most secretive. How did they achieve and sustain greatnessāand what were the costs?
In It's Better to Be Feared, Seth Wickersham, one of the countryās finest long form and investigative sportswriters, tells the full, behind-the-scenes story of the Patriots, capturing the brilliance, ambition, and vanity that powered and ultimately unraveled them. Based on hundreds of interviews conducted since 2001, Wickershamās chronicle is packed with revelations, taking us deep into Bill Belichickās tactical ingenuity and Tom Bradyās unique mentality while also reporting on their divergent paths in 2020, including Bradyās run to the Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Raucous, unvarnished, and definitive, Itās Better to Be Feared is an instant classic of American sportswriting in the tradition of Michael Lewis, David Maraniss, and David Halberstam.
