New on the Bookshelf This Fall

There’s a couple of new Packers-related books out on the market, as there always are for each new season. The first, “Alive and Kicking,” is an autobiography by former kicker Chester Marcol. If you’re not aware, old No. 13 has had quite a struggle with many issues after football, substance abuse being one of them. At one point, he drank battery acid. He has turned his life around, and perhaps his story will help someone else.

The other book that is out is an official Packers publication — entitled “One” — documenting the Super Bowl championship season of 2010. We will be picking this one up, along with the 2011 Green Bay Packers Yearbook and the 2011 Media Guide when we head up for the Denver game on Sunday, October 2nd. The yearbooks and media guides weren’t ready during Training Camp, due to the lockout delaying everything.
