Review: Praise for "The Blueprint":
""The Blueprint "offers a "Moneyball-"like look at how coach Bill Belichick and personnel man Scott Pioli built the New England Patriot dynasty."
--"Sports Illustrated""Price...delivers a brisk narrative of the snakebit early years of the Patriots and a thorough examination of the personnel deals and philosophy that have lately brought in the players who won Super Bowls for them....He's done enough to make me return to the couch on Sunday." --Jay Jennings, "The New York Times Book Review""Price's research is thorough, and his storytelling shows a creative flair....There is so much good material here."--"The Boston Globe""Price's level of research is evident. His chronicles of the checkered past of the team to its current power are thorough and his sources varied as he draws on the experience of everyone from former players to season ticket holders to fellow beat writers."
