Editorial Reviews

I believe that my friend Mr. Joe Greene may be one of the "deepest" people that I have ever met. I sometimes get a little angry when people only refer to him as "Mean Joe Greene", because he is my friend and I think they miss the complexity of the man. Joe is multi-dimensional. He is competitive and uncompromising in the physical sense. But Joe also makes no concessions in his mental, psychological and spiritual being. To look up to Joe Greene as only a great football player is to miss the biggest part of a great man. I am glad the Mr. Greene agreed to do this book at a time when the revelation of real heroes are so desperately needed. - Jon Kolb, 4x Super Bowl Champion, World's Strongest Man Competitor
