Well, it has a lot of good insights into BB and the people he has come in contact with, but really, it's almost a stream of consciousness writing. He doesn't follow any order that I can see in telling his story, just a bunch of disconnected vignettes (for instance, he launches into a 3 page bio of Kurt Warner, doesn't get back to the BB connection (1st BB Super Bowl) for a while. It is good to know a little about his "complex" relationship with Bill Parcells, and also the influence of his dad (BB was watching films with his scout father at age of 9, no wonder he turned out the way he did).
