Product Description
In 11 seasons with the Buffalo Bills, the diminutive 5-foot-9, 175-pound Steve Tasker was a huge contributor as the Bills strung together an unprecedented four consecutive Super Bowl appearances in the early 1990s. Along the way, Tasker earned seven invitations to the Pro Bowl, and during the National Football Leagues 75th anniversary celebration, he was named the greatest special teams player of all-time. In Steve Taskers Tales from the Buffalo Bills, the football star turned network television analyst takes a behind-the-scenes look at the franchises most glorious era. Tasker provides readers with insightful vignettes of colorful Bills personalities such as Levy, Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, and Ralph Wilson. Tasker takes the reader inside the helmet of NFL players, describing for them the deadly efficiency of the Bills no-huddle offense (There were times when we felt like we were unstoppable) and the effects of a jarring hit (Its like being in a violent car wreck).

 Remembering the glory years October 27, 2007
I bought this as a gift and never got to read it, however, the person who did told me it was excellent recapturing of the glory years here for the Bills. Steve's a legend here, great underdog story of a guy who was rejected and found his nitch to live out a dream.

I absolutely loved this book. Steve's multiple short stories give good insight on what the Buffalo Bills organization was like in the years leading up to, during, and after the heyday of their four Super Bowl appearances. He had a take on fellow players, coaches, Mr. Wilson, and of course himself. It was a joy to read what these guys were like in the ups and the downs of those glory days and how other teams feared them. They all deserve to one day be a member of that Hall of Fame in my hometown of Canton

Taskers' short book is a nice trip down memory lane for Bills fans accustomed to the teams losing ways as of late. You would think that this book would just be one feel good story after another about the Bills' glory years. Instead, Tasker and Pitoniak mix alot of positive stories with some revealing memories. For instance, who ever knew that Levy always regretted not talking to Thurman after his notorious fumble in the second Super Bowl against the Cowboys? Or the utter contempt that Kelly had for the city of Buffalo before playing for the Bills. Overall, this is a small book that can be read in less then a couple hours during the long off-season.
