1 comments about Scott Gomez: Open Up The Ice.

1. I'm writing this on behalf of my 6 year old son who is a New Jersey Devils fan and admirer of Scott Gomez. The book is informative and well written. We find out how old Scott was when he took up hockey(age 5)and how Scott worked his way up the league and eventually into the NHL. Scott Gomez is a genuine roll model for young people and especially young Hispanics who don't think other Hispanics played hockey(we are stereotypicaly boxers who don't know how to do anything else). I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the sport or is a new fan of hockey. What is really warm about this is how close Scott is to his dad, Carlos, and what a tight knit family they are.

4 comments about Ramblings From Rocco: Hockey, Radio, Life, and Our Urban Environment.

1. Rocco got fired from the ticket and basically lost his mind.
   This guy used to hack me off when he was on the radio, now I can hack him off....Hey Rocco, I live in a gated community and drive a Hummer. Oh, and I stole your book.



2. One chapter isn't bad reading, if you're a Tickethead. The hockey stories are pretty interesting, also. Unfortunately, his ramblings about the environment are an all-too-painful reminder of the cluelessness that made his Dallas radio show unlistenable. Making a long story short, the village idiot may have grown up, but he didn't get any smarter.



3. I don't normally write reviews on here, but I thought that the last one was a little too harsh. There were a few typos in the book, yes, but the sentences were not necessarily run-ons. They were just more complex than I ever expected from the author.

   This is not a masterpiece, but if you are a Tickethead, I suggest it. It gives a good behind the scenes look at the station and what happened when Rocco was let go. The urban and suburban stuff, while often rhetoric, is substantive and will either make you mad or grin in agreement. It is incoherent, but Rocco points that out himself. He apparently is going to offer a more focused book someday. Anyhow, I recommend it. And Rocco, I am glad you are doing well. You have kept enough of your abrasiveness to stay edgy, but lost enough of it to be entertaining and more than tolerable.




4. I don't think anyone edited this book. After getting through all the misspelled words and run-on sentences, I was convinced that I had died and gone to reading hell. These weren't ramblings; these were incoherent thoughts and meaningless stories that were pretty unrelated. The only saving grace is that this guy's wheels are so far off, that you can't help but laugh at him.
